Whipped Cream Difficulties

From last week’s TMQ:

“Revolution” has “canceled by Christmas” written all over it.

From Deadline Hollywood Daily:

NBC has made the first back orders this fall, giving full-season orders to drama Revolution and comedies Go On and The New Normal.

This should not be interpreted as implying that we think “Revolution” is a good show. To be perfectly honest, we haven’t watched it, and have no plans to: this comic sums up our reasons why pretty well.

(“The laws of smashing things into other things WENT CRAZY?!” We cannot lie: that’s an awesome line.)

(And a tip of the Hatlo hat to Erin Palette over at “Lurking Rhythmically”, both for the pointer to “Hijinks Ensue” and for this post outlining some of the logic flaws in the show.)

(There’s a much better SF story based on the idea of electricity not working; in that story, it appears to be an alien presence that’s capable of discriminating between machines and, say, human brain impulses. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the title and author of that story at the moment. It is in an Asimov-curated anthology that I have at home somewhere. I know it wasn’t an S.M. Stirling story, but one from the pulp era. If I figure out the title and author, I’ll update here.)

Edited to add: I’m pretty sure it was “The Waveries” by Frederic Brown.
