Tuesday: So many thoughts about a dumb TV show.

Flash is not awful, but the characters basically bumble around in a way that isn't as funny or cute as the Legends dummies.  The problem today was that terrorists stole a nuclear bomb, and blew it up.  Flash goes into super-speed-mode, and tries to figure out how to un-blow-up the bomb.  Luckily he has Jessie Quick, who's also fast, and he can pull people into super-speed-mode, but only for a few minutes.  My initial thought, given what I know about what they have:

1. Ability to warp things between dimensions.
2. Know of a nazi planet because of that crossover with Supergirl and everyone.
3. Are super fast.

Team Flash?  Here's their list of plans.

1. Go get another Flash from his universe.
2. Warp it to a dead planet, but can't because they played with the warping too much.
3. Double nuke it, which sounded to me a lot like "if we add more fire to the fire, they'll cancel out and there won't be any fire."
4. Freeze it with their cold-based friend.
5. Warp it into the speed force, which Flash #2 vetos because they're worried about blowing up a trans-dimensional abstract embodiment of speed.
6. Zap it with lightning.
7. Let it blow up and kill everybody.

Then Barry talks to his wife, who suggests bringing the speed force to earth to blow up the nuke.  This works because comic books, and reinforces the point that everyone is stupid, and Barry should start his list of plans with "maybe ask my wife."

Plus, all I could think about was the big season-long bad guy.  How hilarious would it be for him to zap back into the city from his secret extra dimension, and it's blown up and everyone is dead, and he can't complete his plan to mock Flash because Flash is blown up and dead.

Decade old dice.

• There will soon be no Northern White Rhinos.
• "the time i walked in on a robbery and tried to buy some wine".
• Ethnic Diversity Increases Scientific Impact.  This also includes interesting stuff on name classification that is similar to stuff from last summer.
