You had the titular line?!

Although they botch the execution, this episode points out another direction the show could have gone: the 'Avengers Forever' blueprint of traveling up and down the Arrowverse's super-timeline. That way they avoid the problem of making every episode about directly confronting and defeating Savage (and therefore making

"Gosh Inspector Spacetime, where are we going next?"
"Constable, with this device, we can go ANYWHERE, at ANYTIME in the universe!…

Has that ever actually worked? Is there even one instance on this show of Oliver lying to someone and they end up being safer than had he told them?

This seems to assume that the majority of the people who saw Fury Road have also seen the previous Mad Max movies… which is a dicey assumption. Yes, you might get a squee from a few people, but that would be far outweighed by the ick factor of casting an elderly enraged anti-Semite as a protector of women.

While I'd agree that TLK is a better show in some ways, the worst part about the show is its lead, the Prodigal Brat. No matter how many choices are presented, I can always count on Uhtred to go with the pettiest, most short-sighted one.

Yes, I think every woman on the show is contractually obligated to have her "hearts" out at least twice a season.

Very watchable, though it has a huge stumbling block in that the main character seems to have Rollo's self-destructive stupidity turned up to 11.

I said a good reason. Not a great one.

Give me one good reason why Zoom can't be The Rani.

Granted Roy was never the sharpest arrow in the quiver, but was his plan really:

To what "issues with writing female characters" do you refer?

Maybe, but you could just as easily read it as rejecting her fiance's own expectations of her. It's unfortunately unrealistic to think Peggy could have made any major life choices without a man being somehow involved, given the period she grew up in.

This "second argument" you're divining is nowhere in anything I said.

Mmhmm. As right as you were about neutrinos. What you're describing seems far closer to a layman's understanding of the stochastic effects of x-rays/gamma rays, not alpha particles.

Right, so when you say "Er… I think literally nothing in the universe emits that many neutrinos", what you really mean is "I don't think you're going to care about neutrino emissions."

"A paper by radiation expert Andrew Karam provides an answer.[5] It explains that during certain supernovae, the collapse of a stellar core into a neutron star, 10^57 neutrinos can be released (one for every proton in the star that collapses to become a neutron)."

Her. And you're throwing out a lot of adverbs without backing yourself up. Like the writer of this episode should have done, try googling "what happens if I inhale an alpha particle?"

Nope. Try again.

As with many things, it's a detail so easy to get right that it's annoying when they get it wrong, as the only good explanation is sheer laziness.
