Quotes thumb|This lady is nuts, your majesty! The Red King: Just be glad we didn't end up in the past. Then we'd have to worry about paradoxes. Or changing history... I really hate time travel, remind me to ban it when we get back. "Hey, what about a deus ex machina so confusing even the writers forget how it works?" I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
