Next episode is just a paper about Minkowski Space with quotes around it and Baz guffawing every other paragraph

I see Nick is not into the "will they, won't they?" trope, lol.

He's had 30, 40 years of her moping about Baz already. 😂

He's in the "NOW KISS!" trope. 😂

I had to refrain from restacking every other line, and I was only partially successful. I am 100% here for another alternate history go-round of Baz + Marissa, though. And throwing Baby Sparky and all of this other craziness into the mix is icing on the cake.

ALSO WAY TO PERFECTLY TIME AND TEASE PART II OF SONIC VORPAL. I’m dying a little bit from anticipation, but that’s some well-planned scheduling. 👏👏

AHAHA. I realized only a couple of weeks ago that I was almost out of time to get Sonic Vorpal in there, so the timing is very much of necessity! 😂

I don't know if I'll ever get tired of these two.

HEY! I've been to the NIH, man, this is getting personal! I got a COVID germ stuffie there! Lovely building!

Also, psychic pyrokinesis sounds really cool and also horrifying.

Also also, I am absolutely bookmarking that PDF to read later.

Wonder if there's COVID anywhere in this multiverse? Oh man.

😁 The writing is a *bit* dry, but I actually find a lot of older scientific papers are easier to read than the new ones.
