(SPOILERS)
Can he only go back to where he has blackouts or does he only have blackouts at points that he has gone back?
I think it's the latter. He had blackouts in the past because his future self was controlling his mind at those points.
But what about the fact that in the "original" history we saw at the start of the movie, what happened during the blackouts didn't always seem to match what Evan did when we saw him revisit these periods later in the movie? For example, although he did draw the picture of his adult self standing over the dead skinheads in the original history, he didn't skewer his hands like we saw him do when he went back to that period. An even bigger one is the fact that in the original history, after the blackout in the basement with Kayleigh's dad ended, he found himself naked, and from the conversation with the waitress version of Kayleigh later it seemed something even worse than just taking off his clothes had happened during the blackout. Even if you assume the "original" history was not original at all, that it had already been messed with by versions of Evan from previous histories that we never saw, why would any adult version of Evan agree to take his clothes off? And assuming there were previous histories raises some other questions too, like why Evan had no memories of them even though he continued to remember the psych-student timeline, the frat boy timeline, etc.
My question is, why did Kayleigh's dad act so strangely when Evan first went back to chew him out? He acted as if he had already experienced the event and realized that Evan was somehow changing it.
I think he just acted strangely because Evan seemed to be talking in an impossibly adult way for a kid that young, and completely different from how he had been talking up until that point, so it looked as if he had been posessed or something, and whatever was doing the posessing was condemning the father and telling him the future consequences of his actions.
