Episode 11: Sam’s Notes – Streaming Nonsense Podcast

Found in Time

Is this opening sequence supposed to make us think of string theory?
Einstein quote
Well, that’s an unusually dressed man with a terrible neck tattoo
Wakes up in bed, woman is working, shouldn’t you be shaving?
What are the organizers for? Storing things from different times?
He takes meds
Making out
Looks like Chicago
Nail in the pavement, annoying whiney sound effect
This nail will be useful later or sooner? Save that…
He’s going into work
Guy using old school typewriter serves up a magic fluid
He’s supposed to be getting engaged
Selling rocks
Blood on this guy’s shirt
Jewish guy hands over a metal box, he has the key to open it, guy cries
It’s like he knew this guy would show up looking to open a box
Police show up, he seems distracted, they take a picture and see the guy with blood on his shirt, he tells the police the guy bought a rock
The storage container is full of things that people might be looking for
Guy got lunch real fast
Psycops?
Close up shop
Rehearses proposing, nail gets in the way
Never set a nail on the ground like that
Finds a knife on the sidewalk
Walks off into the woods carrying the knife to find the psycops beating someone up
Talking in bed
She had a new patient today, she’s lost her way
Back in the clearing, finds Jina’s patient there
She’s at the bottom of the ocean wondering what life is like on the surface
Kid asks a lot of questions, you’re scary!
You didn’t give her the ring yet?
Points out that he almost stepped on the nail
The put you in the mine if you don’t help them
This guy really wants a rock
It’s time to get lunch
The guy who wants a rock is on the same street, and then he sees a different time and the rock is there
Comes back with lunch and takes some meds
He wants to see the new something movie tonight, and then propose
People get really cleaned up for the movies
“Something started”
The movie was better than I thought…
Finds a green ball on the sidewalk
Flash to after dinner
Proposal is happening
She says yes
Flash back to the sidewalk after picking up the ball
He doesn’t know what night it is
It’s happening again…
Why don’t you tell me the truth?
Getting ready for bed
Sleeping with a bright light on in the bedroom
Back to the green coated man in the clearing, he wants some control, “over-rated”
Time passes
Another brain flash, loses the ball
Woman comes by with the ball that was just dropped and, I guess, is a vendor looking to set up
She sells something different
Guy comes back looking for something, hands it over, $10, he didn’t get it on the first try
Woman is making… friendship bracelets?
She gives it to our guy, he gets a massive flash
We see people working at a computer and then he’s in the woods with the psycops beating someone and he has the knife
He seems really off
He still hasn’t proposed here
Jina comes home, they talk about the new vendor
Back to feeding him the meds
Back to the field with the woman in black
Psycops checking licenses and work samples, they start harassing the vendors
These psycops are trawlers, most psycops aren’t like that, she says
The FNG gets lunch
Admits he’s not engaged yet
Finds more stuff on the street on the way home, sees a strange older couple, one with a green streak in her hair
Talking with green coat in the field about things he sees, maybe?
Back at home, looking at the ring again
He doesn’t know what day it is, Jina is annoyed
In bed, he doesn’t take his meds
Back in the woods, he kills the psycops and the person being beaten was the other vendor
Okay, I’ll see the shrink! And then the sex
Now we’re at the shrink’s, who is wearing a blue mask like the people at the computer
Our guy died of SIDS for two minutes
Jina at the computer looking at…something, maybe a time stream or something… she indicates a time that the other guy says is the point at which they can no longer meet, the singularity, which is a point where the future can no longer be predicted
Back to the shrink, he’s asking what the shrink thinks of Jina
He needs a new prescription because he’s slipping time
Draw horizontal straight lines, he doesn’t remember doing it
Inkblot tests
He doesn’t get his prescription
The other vendor is there as well
Jina is there, she’s wearing a mask
They say they don’t know each other
The woman vendor is asking Jina about our guy
Seeds on the wind
We see into the life of the weaver
The vendors say goodnight to each other
He drops his stuff and the guy with the stone harasses the weaver
The stone guy is a doctor, there’s blood on his shirt again
Our guy is writhing on the ground in pain
Staring at a tarot card
Jina sets the card on the nightstand with the pill and the nail
He really wants to just take a pill and solve it all
Back at the computers, Jina talking to the stone man, does he suspect what we’re up to?
In the woods with our guy and the weaver, they have a moment
She fixes his button
Psycops are back
Ordered to report to the mine
Vendor fight!
Flash, looks like the vendors are meeting for the first time
Psycops are trolling the other vendor, he’s the one with the knife and he approaches the cops
Why do you call them trawlers? Because they couldn’t get real jobs
You’re in the mines now, for the last week
Looks like they’re mining stuff for information?
He makes her stand and they pack up their stuff
He sees the knife and heads into the woods, weaver follows
He stabs the cops, RJ is down
Back to the weaver’s place
He’s supposed to take on pill, he takes two
He’s talking with Jina after dinner, makes the proposal, she turns him down
Well, that was awkward
Back to the weaver’s, she’s been waiting for him
Chris is back home, Jina comes in, he accuses her of doping his pills, she did
RJ is dead, Jina knows, so are two psycops
Jina says that’s not how it was supposed to go, apparently Chris and Ayana are rupturing time?
Jina works for the mine, they’re studying him
Multiple Jina’s? He’s already in the mine
Chris is telling his therapist that Jina found them at the corner
Chris is no longer in control
Alright, multiple Chrises
Back to the mine, Chris is examining things, including the nail, he’s given a picture of the clearing
Ayana is brought in to the mine
Flash to the green coat, they want to be sent back, now they’re in the mine, but conscious
Doctor steps on a nail, Chris and Ayana escape from the mine and are chased by cops/guards
Ayana knocks the cop down and beats him, Chris gets the baton and shocks the other cop
Back to Ayana’s place
The card Chris picks up…
Ayana wants to pin the murders on Jina
Chris and Ayana making out at the tree
Back to Ayana’s place, Chris just touched her
Chris goes home, finds Jina on the couch, he has the knife
Flash back to Jina meeting Chris at his booth
Chris invites Jina along to get lunch
Chris gives Jina a lucky penny
They say goodbye
Two Jina’s
Chris admits to falling for Ayana
Chris doesn’t know which “then” he killed Jina in
Chris sees the lucky penny on Jina’s necklace
Now the penny isn’t on the necklace
He pockets the penny instead of giving it to her
That was a much colder goodbye, Jina bumps into the other therapist, what do you have to report?
Jina and stone guy are looking at the computer again
Ayana is remaking her world
Jina is wearing the penny again
Ayana meets green coat in the clearing
Jina is the new patient… I got it… her and the fish
Green coat is a spider
Chris is telling Ayana he is taking the penny off the table to change the equation
Why are Ayana and Chris spinning in the clearing?
Chris is back at his stand, gives a card to Ayana just as the psycops show up
The card Chris gave to the psycops he ends up reading in the mine
The psycops corner Ayana in the woods, not RJ?
Chris sees a card and runs off looking for the cops, Ayana chases after, Chris confronts the cops, they chase and corner him
Ayana attacks the cops to save Chris
Back at Ayana’s place, Chris with the knife, Ayana cleaning off blood
Now they’re arguing over who killed the cops
Ayana hates good people
After looking in the weave, Chris takes the knife and goes to Jina’s, she’s not wearing the penny
You won’t be able to change today, only what comes next
The only way to win is to refuse to play
Chris gives stone guy the stone, he stepped on the nail, that’s his blood on his shirt
Chris goes to Ayana’s and finds the summons, he checks the weave
Back in the mine, the things on the table are all the things we’ve been seeing, the tarot cards, the rock, the nail…
Back to finding the cops beating RJ, Chris places the nail on the ground and throws the rock at the cops, RJ fights back and downs the cops, but doesn’t kill
Jina and stone guy are looking at the computer
Chris, RJ, Ayana are walking in the woods
Back with the spider, Your figures of speech lack the heft of reality
Back to RJ in the park
The end
