I didnt say that Alien vessels lurking at L2 was weak science at all - if I was a UFO Commander - which I am not - it would be an excellent place to lurk .
Warp Speed - is possible - you meed to study the Physics of Inflation Theory which we didnt really get a handle on until 2016 - then you can travel faster than light within reason.
As for Time Travel - that is impossible.
Well - we can travel forward in Time but going backward is a tad more difficult - so Ive been told.

I agree that L2 is not a good example of "bad" science and still contend that other better bad examples exist
NB Alf will agree with me soon:

Altough ... as I explained in my previous post 'Time Travel' is impossible but 'Warp Speed' is , or relative - to yourself will be - and most important of all -
