Travis rides a futuristic taxi cab through the future on his way to visit Sonia Rand. Suddenly, the road collapses into a futuristic sinkhole, which the cab ahead sails right into. Travis's futuristic taxi cab swerves to avoid this, terrorizing the futuristic patrons of a nearby futuristic cafe.

While this kind of disaster is clearly the result of Time Safari's prehistoric meddling, it should also be noted how conveniently this sinkhole has deposited Travis directly in front of Sonia's building, demonstrating that there are pros as well as cons to messing up the future.

At Sonia's door, Travis finds an angry mob of tenants apparently blaming her for all the vines that have taken over the building. This is rather interesting, as it indicates that Sonia is well-known even throughout her building for inventing TAMI -- even though she stated earlier that all traces of her name had been removed from the project, AND she signed a non-disclosure agreement keeping her credit a secret. And even if Sonia decided to tell individuals the truth anyway -- as she told Travis -- it is hard to imagine at what point she got around to telling everyone in her apartment building.

In any case, Sonia seems to regret enlightening her neighbors, as she frightens them off with a shotgun shoved through her peephole. Travis fails to get Sonia to let him in either, so he resorts to one brilliant plan that always, always works: lazy screenwriting. That's right, Travis simply goes downstairs and bumps into a delivery guy who just happens to be delivering fertilizer to Sonia's apartment! So brilliant, it must be the result of a time wave! But that comes later.

FAIL #42
Accepting (reluctantly) the jaw-dropping coincidence of Travis wandering downstairs and encountering a delivery guy who happens to be on his way to the exact right apartment, it's actually way more shocking that this delivery guy allows Travis -- a complete stranger -- to deliver the fertilizer himself without even accompanying him upstairs. We would definitely call "Mick's Garden Supply" and complain about this glaring lapse in professionalism, but we would have to wait 46 years to do so. (Because of the future!)

Now that Travis is carrying a huge bag of poop on his shoulder, Sonia does not hesitate to let him inside. Remarkably, although she opens the door for Travis, Sonia greets him from 50 feet away by the time he steps inside. Not only that, but she recognizes him and says, "I've been expecting you," raising the question of why she didn't just let him in when he knocked on her door 5 minutes ago. But of course, Travis wasn't sporting a huge bag of poop 5 minutes ago, so that must be some kind of requisite for getting inside her apartment.

FAIL #43
Travis: I'm afraid we've done it. What you warned us about?

Sonia leads Travis to the upper level of her greenhouse, where she invites him to look out the window and observe what appears to be a translucent tidal wave barreling towards them. When it hits the greenhouse, Travis is knocked over the railing and tumbles to the ground in slow motion. This seems to indicate the awesome power of the "time wave," except that Sonia strolls down the stairs like a normal person, so either Travis is a wimp or Sonia is pretty rude for not telling him to hold on to something.

It should be mentioned that Sonia is exhibiting quite an "I told you so" attitude about this whole thing, even commenting about the time wave, "That was you. Proud of yourself? So much for your system being bulletproof." While we have certainly spent enough time criticizing Time Safari's "bulletproof" system, it bears repeating that Sonia is the one person in the world who is not allowed to complain about anything because SHE INVENTED TIME TRAVEL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Suddenly, Travis and Sonia hear a scream and open the door to find a woman covered in bugs, which are taking over the hallway and quickly take over Sonia's apartment as well.

FAIL #44
Travis and Sonia retreat to the greenhouse, where Travis comes up with the brilliant idea of having Sonia stand on the bag of fertilizer, elevating her a whopping 2 inches off the ground so the bugs can't get to her.

FAIL #45
Travis's next amazing plan is to spray water at the bugs, which appears to succeed mainly in spraying tons of bugs directly up Sonia's skirt.

Eventually, a combination of water and some huge oxygen tanks results in a huge explosion, sending Travis and Sonia flying out the window and sailing straight down from six stories high. "Fortunately," their fall is broken by a large tree that has suddenly sprouted up in front of the building. We use quotes around the word "fortunately" because jumping out of a tall building and landing on the branches of a huge tree would probably result in a piñata-like beating accompanied by a fine red mist.

Nevertheless, Travis and Sonia survive the fall in great shape, and survey the time wave's devastating effects: ruined buildings taken over by vegetation, people wandering the streets, the blare of sirens in the distance. Perhaps the real tragedy of such a calamity is how hard it's going to be for Travis to get back to work on time for the next dinosaur hunt.

Travis takes this moment to interview Sonia about what's going to happen in the rest of the movie. In fact, the following question and answer session is so spectacularly idiotic, we prefer to simply present it in its unaltered form:

Travis: Why didn't this happen until now? Why the delay?
Sonia: When you change something in the past, the future isn't affected all at once. Changes come in ripples, like dropping a stone into a pond.
Travis: So you mean there'll be more of these?
Sonia: Oh yeah, and they'll get bigger and bigger. All the changes in evolution that you affected, all of them will come in the waves. They'll start with climate, then vegetation, and the early manifestations of life. Then come the more complex organisms.
Travis: So what will happen in the last wave?
Sonia: It'll be us. We wave goodbye. The last wave changes the last species to evolve: homo sapiens. God knows what we'll become. We may have no eyes, we may be sea creatures. We may not even exist at all. We don't have too many more waves before that one.

Had we been around at the time, we might have posed the following additional questions to Sonia:

1. How would you know ANY of this?
2. Do you realize how stupid it sounds when you say that homo sapiens are "the last species to evolve"?
3. Do you know what evolution is?
4. Are you really a scientist?
5. Are you not a very good one?

But of course, there is one frame from earlier that explains quite a lot:
