Yes, but in this new world the population is many times smaller. Without technology the majority of humans would die off, but the guns would remain, therefore increasing the proportion of guns per human.

That brings up even more questions. For example, why don't diesel engines work? They don't use electricity - did chemistry stop working too?

Huh - has potential, although the underlying premise is rather silly and dumb. If the laws of physics changed so significantly that electricity doesn't work, then humans should not be alive either.

I don't think it was explicitly stated anywhere, but that was a large part of her mission in the original timeline. I suspect she switched by using the same type of technology as they used before - the vibration thingies.

Huh. I did not thing of it from that perspective. It was just too much of a cliche for me.

Absolutely - however this is a basic geometry problem that bugged me - one that could have easily been avoided with just a little forethought. I would have been OK with it if it was just a single problem in a flawless episode. Unfortunately, it was a very annoying episode that went absolutely nowhere.

It's not math, it's simple geometry and logic. I can see it in my head. It's very simple - and TV audiences know enough about head trauma to see that this is not how it would work. Here is an image.

In that case the lemon cake should have grown to resemble pig brains. Regeneration makes sense only if there is a previous pattern of some sort - one based on DNA. And the pig brains were in the center, with the piece of paper - not in the cake itself.

You are assuming that it was a wave function within the confines and rules of our universe. There is no reason why a wave can't propagate faster outside of our universe. Think of FTL travel through a wromhole.

Nope. I only wondered why it took them so long. Olivia was the power source. If you shut her down you stop the death of two universes. As soon as the redhead told them she was the power source, I wondered why they didn't put Olivia into a medically induced coma or shut down her heart for a few minutes.

Yea, that was really dumb. Did they completely run out of money for special effects this season? Couldn't they have splurged a couple of hundred bucks and put some sort of machine under the floor, instead of just drawing magic runes on it? Well, at least it wasn't a pentagram.

You are right that this episode sucked, but some things are somewhat explainable.

Yup, this entire season was a complete mess, and it was capped off by this iffy thrown-together season finale that made even less sense. There were sooo many problems in this last two-part episode alone:

This was a standard Eureka episode, better than most. A lot of CGI on the show is dodgy - this is not surprising. What was refreshing is for once I didn't figure out who or what was responsible within 5 minutes of the show starting.

Actually Soyuz has a better safety record than the space shuttle. There have been no fatalities in the last 30 years, and statistically speaking it is safer (1.14% fatalities instead of 1.17). On the other hand it hasn't launched nearly as many people (smaller crews) and had fewer launches total (112 vs. 135).

Ah, I see your point - you are right. This entire season has been rather aimless.

This is the first part of a two-part season finale. Of course we don't know the end game! Because it's the first part! One that will probably end in a cliff-hanger in fact.

In any case, Thor is in space right now trying to stop the Phoenix before it gets to Earth.

Dr. Strange was just taken down by Magik. Of course he went into Limbo - onto her home turf - where he was defeated.

Well, he is just about the only guy on the roster with god-like powers. X-men have half a dozen. Namor, Emma Frost, Colossus/Juggernaught, Magneto, Magic, Storm. And that's just the Extinction team - there are several other backup and specialized teams.
