Hi Carl, 

I don't what you mean about the future tense as these are two people debating whether they like Star Wars or Star Trek best.

The actual sentence with 'saurais' is -

Je ne saurais pas par où commencer = I wouldn't know where to start

and the conditional is correct.

Bonne Continuation!

Thanks to you, the lesson link has now been updated :) 

Bonne journée !

Carl is saying that the grammar lesson that has been linked to this sentence is about how to conjugate savoir in the future, not the conditional.
