Nope, the guy who was the father. He's been on SG-1 and The Good Wife and a bunch of other stuff too.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So it's some sort of radiating pulse that stops the momentum of moving cars and sucks planes out of the sky?
It actually got dumber than I was expecting. That hurts...
And I pulled the name Tim Guinee out of my metaphorical ass--that's who you mean, Consuela?

... yeah? I think.

Yeah, at least SM Stirling just called it magic.

Does it "scientifically" make things like steam power and levers stop working too?

Apparently gunpowder still works.
I love Tim Guinee so much and have for a long time, but his name is like mist to me. In fact I thought I guessed "Tim" because he'd been on a Tim show. Quite surprised to be right.

This is a show designed by and for people who are scientific illiterates. HAVE WE FOUGHT AND DIED IN VAIN?

I'm not going to say that it's designed by scientific illiterates, but just that they clearly don't care.

They may not be scientific illiterates, but they're doing a really good impression of it.

As far as I can tell, enough of the errors we pick apart are shortcuts, or things they decided to sacrifice for the sake of a story that I'm not going to say they don't know basically what they're doing.
Or, heaven knows, errors they perpetuate because it's a stylistic expectation--I've heard people say they know planes don't drop out of the sky, but that they're feeding the misconception because too many people get disappointed if they just come down realistically.
It's that whole "sound in space" thing.
