Apparently, this half-hearted attempt to fill the airwaves means that the typical Nielsen participant actually spends time on social engagements and family time instead of watching TV like a real person.

Curse that Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, always getting in the way of science!

In the very first MM story, he spoiled a mirror in the prison workshop where he was working so it had an unusual property (retaining images for hours, IIRC). Then he became insanely obsessed with mirrors and achieving bizarre effects with them.

They actually streamlined it and made it a little more coherent for the movie, but it's basically the same story, which I found to be mean spirited and poorly motivated (there's no reason for Flash's attempt to change the past to have the effects it does, but let's just say the magic word "ripples" and we can do…

T = "tea" = marijuana; clearly she's a drug metaphor. :-)

Ironically, Peter Mark Richman would make a similar observation about two sides both being afraid of each other in the ST:TNG episode "The Neutral Zone"

Dare we do "Worst Twist"? "Probe 7 Over and Out" is my nomination.

There are four episodes I can think of that use humanoids of wildly different scales for dramatic effect. "The Fear", "Invaders", "Stopover in a Quiet Town". and "The Little People".

It doesn't have to look good in person, it just has to look good enough through a TV camera.

I think "Steel" provides some insight on that question.

In my day, we knew how to write a twist ending, Shyamalan.

It might have worked better if there were some drawback to Whipple's automation plan. Even if it's just the "Ford idea" that without fairly paid workers, an economy can't support mass market goods.

Sure, but people are named Regina and Cesar too.

After a kidnapping or jewelry heist once a week, who is clamoring to ride on this thing?

Yes, scale matters. Entire communities were uprooted, in many cases never to return to their original homes. It was devastating. Nothing like that happened to German Americans.

The scale of the interments are not even close to being similar.

The irony of that justification is that fewer than 1% of the Japanese in Hawaii were interned, whereas virtually all of the Japanese who lived on the West Coast were.

What are the odds the zombie apocalypse will get started by one of Garrity's descendants updating the pitch to infomercial form?

I don't think it's about justice at all. I think it's about afflicting the comfortable. In a way Garrity does this two ways, first by cheating the people and then with the reality of the resurrections.

I think giving Arthur a dark secret too was a mistake. I'd rather have had him just spend the episode resisting the sword's compulsion, possibly to the point of jumping out the window to avoid being used by the sword.
