| 0:00.0 | Beware, spoiler fobes! We're all wearing silly manzuts. |
| 0:07.0 | All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces. |
| 0:29.0 | This week we wake up in a splinter timeline and have to guide the artifact back to the portal |
| 0:34.0 | in honor of Donnie Darko's 15th anniversary director's cut re-release. |
| 0:38.0 | It's the 15th anniversary somehow, even though Donnie Darko was released in 2001 and it's currently 2017. |
| 0:45.0 | But maybe that and the water spears growing out of our chest are what are supposed to tip us off that something's not quite right with the universe. |
| 0:52.0 | So, after we check in with Neil for Game of Thrones news, we'll delve into Donnie Darko and some of our favorite time-traveled properties. |
| 1:01.0 | And a finite kind of funny, a finite kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. |
| 1:13.0 | A finite heart to tell you, a finite heart to take. When people run in circles it's a very, very... |
| 1:31.0 | Hello and welcome to the Storm of Spoilers off season 2. |
| 1:49.0 | My name is Dave Gonzalez and if I could time travel to any time and place I would go to the American West in the 1880s |
| 1:57.0 | because I think as a Gonzalez I have a slightly better chance of surviving there than the other places I'd like to be in the 1880s. |
| 2:05.0 | I know I love how Dave and I... oh sorry, I'm Joan Robinson and like Dave I had to consider my non-white maleness when considering time travel. |
| 2:16.0 | But I'm still... I'm gonna pick 1920s London so I could be an intrepid female detective which is what I've always wanted to be. |
| 2:26.0 | And I'm Neil Miller and if I were to time travel I would go deep into the future because that's what I'm most curious about. |
| 2:35.0 | I know what happened in the past. I want to see what happens like two, three, four hundred years into the future. |
| 2:44.0 | I may end up just floating in space because Earth is gone but you know I think it'd be worth it. |
| 2:52.0 | We're all gonna end up floating in space because if you're traveling back in time but not spatially going anywhere... |
| 2:58.0 | No, it's not. It's not only rotating on its axis but around the sun and that change is incrementally depending on gravity wells. |
| 3:05.0 | Anyway, that's an excellent choice. |
| 3:07.0 | But I like your answer Neil because like I was sitting here thinking like you, Neil, as our token white male you could travel anywhere and not be in trouble but maybe in the future that won't be the case. |
| 3:18.0 | Oh yeah, you never know. I can't remember which comedian said it but it really is as a white guy. You could travel pretty much anywhere in time and be just fine. |
