So after just escaping with your lives by this strange man doing something quite clever, you find yourself in an even stranger blue box that just happens to be bigger on the inside than the outside.
The man approaches a console that appears to have been cobbled together in a junkyard:
Doctor: Where would you like to go? We can go anywhere in time and space... Well except for places that I have already been due to the Blinovich Limitation...oh...and I'm afraid you can't cross your own timeline either
You: Blino...wahh...?
Doctor: I'll explain later.

So you have a chance to travel with the Doctor but can't go where he has already been or anywhere in your own timeline either (no do overs I'm afraid)
Where do you go?

So I'm guessing asking to pop ahead four years to see who's president is out? Cause if it's not, I know where I'm going.

Well, we definitely wouldn't be leaving unless the scanner worked because there's no way I'm stepping out the door on Earth anywhere in the next several hundred if not thousand+ years. Don't want to go and cement a timeline where I never came back....

Don't want to go and cement a timeline where I never came back.... Now there's a point. I'd be more concerned about overturning everyone else's timelines. What if I accidentally step on a butterfly or something and ruin all of established history?! |

Pfft, silly second-millennium humans and their Base 10 Hindu-Arabic numeral system.  Well, we definitely wouldn't be leaving unless the scanner worked because there's no way I'm stepping out the door on Earth anywhere in the next several hundred if not thousand+ years. Don't want to go and cement a timeline where I never came back.... Now there's a point. I'd be more concerned about overturning everyone else's timelines. What if I accidentally step on a butterfly or something and ruin all of established history?! I think you might do a great deal better than that man who wanted to go back and shoot all those finches for sport on the Canary Islands. |

What if I accidentally step on a butterfly or something and ruin all of established history?! Well, that depends on how time travel works. From your perspective, you changed something. But from an outside perspective looking in on time, perhaps you always accidentally stepped on that butterfly and established history has always existed as it came into being as a result of your stepping on that butterfly. |
