Great. Thanks. I was wondering about Cornwallis was doing there, but was too lazy to look it up. The peace he negotiated in 1802 between England and France was indeed a temporary truce in the Napoleonic Wars. But he was also the guy who put down the Irish rebellion of 1798. But, in both cases, as Flynn states,…

Thanks for that info. I wonder if the writers checked into it.

Thoroughly agree!! I was so disgusted by their turning a scientist and patriot into a villain that I may stop watching altogether. It's like turning Ben Franklin into a monster (although that could have been more fun because everybody knows him). And to make know-it-all Lucy ignorant of who David Rittenhouse was is…

I may be wrong, but it seemed in the earlier episodes as if Flynn restricted his killing to victims who were destined to die very soon, anyway—in the Hindenburg or the Alamo. It requires a…

You're right. Big potential problem.
