Edison really did try to popularize "Westinghouse" as a verb for electrocution (and recommended using AC for the electric chair), to associate alternating current with danger.

But a better lawyer.

Hey, Matter-Eater Lad has a goofy name, but his power is plenty useful and versatile. He can get through and destroy anything material, including ticking bombs and stuff that's too strong for Superman to break. His overall utility beats out that of several of his teammates.

"Tell them… I was Westinghoused… with alternating curr-"[dies]

I sure hope Disney is negotiating with Fox to get an original cut Blu-Ray set on the market one of these years.

As she's said before, she's aging out of good roles (goodbye "cute yoga girl")

Also sometimes done with food, e.g., a cheese flight.

Likewise, when the Flash is taken over he starts using his super-speed efficiently. (E.g., Lex-as-Wally fighting the entire League contingent on the Watchtower to a near-draw in "The Great Brain Robbery".)

I said what they were going to download: mirrors of Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg. The point isn't to have all possible human knowledge, but to have an extremely broad collection of useful information.

"What's a 'star war'?"

Well, Washington's teeth sounds more like a magical artifact they'd need to collect on Sleepy Hollow.

Which likewise might well not be part of the US without the conflict over Texas being a major driver of the Mexican War.

The show is finally becoming fun again, and we want to recapitulate the drawn out angstfest that was Death of Iris West?

What they need is two historians. One goes along and helps, the other stays home and winds up with knowledge of history as it stands after the mission. Next trip, they switch.

I'd sort of like them to go the Stargate SG-1 route, where they do gradually apply everyday technology where it's useful in their outlandish situations, rather than asking the viewer to ignore the issue.

Wikipedia in a single download requiring a mere 54GB of offline storage: don't leave your home time without it. http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/…

That's why I recommended putting it on an SD card. Kiwix.org has handy downloads of both: 54 gigs for Wikipedia and 40 for Gutenberg. Both will fit on a $40 card no problem, with room to spare for a one-click Amazon purchase of a recent historical survey or two of your target while the Lifeboat is warming up.

Mountain hideaways with thousands of people don't pay for themselves.

Which is pretty much SOP for her and her cousin for their entire existence. Not least because "Superman flies through the stratsophere, stopping most crimes with his X-Ray telescopic and heat vision and occasional super-ventriloquism, without ever needing to engage" makes it hard to fill 22 pages.

True enough, though I can see Caitlin's mom seeing fiance as a lesser loss than husband.
