I love bad science

So...this is the second plot I've encountered that deals with stealing anti-matter from CERN. I mean, do people think they just have piles of it lying around? OH NO! Someone has stolen the anti-matter! Oh, good thing they didn't take the Tau-mesons while they were at it! Better check the neutrino vaults to make sure those didn't wander off too

I'm actually reacting more strongly to this than I do to like, "The Planet of Evil." Because honestly, if Doctor Who wants to say there's an alien substance composed of antimatter...sure. Why not.

But these guys were at CERN - although I was a bit disgruntled that they referred to it as a "Nuclear research center." But like, the "London, England" style titles swirled around like they were in the accelerator (which was hilarious). Now, the subtleties of particle physics and How Anti-Matter Works are not the sort of things that I should reasonably expect to find in the public consciousness. But when the baddie says "I'm upping your clearance, I need you to help me transport some...material" and then you see them with a hazard briefcase with a big sticker on the side reading ANTIMATTER, you just have to laugh. And laugh and laugh and laugh.

I kind of love this show.

What even IS this show?

[animate_mush]

OH RIGHT.

Um, Warehouse 13. The first two seasons are on netflix instant play. It's...really goofy. I mean really goofy. It's basically the same premise as The Librarian - agents go out and recover supernatural artifacts and keep them under lock and key to prevent...incidents. But it's very steam punk and one of the main characters has a deep and abiding love of cookies. So it's good fun.

That sounds potentially awesome

[animate_mush]

It's pretty darned awesome. I think I need to start actor-stalking Saul Rubinek.

[mayamaia]

Beware actor-stalking. THAT'S HOW I GOT INTO MFU.
