Nerd Boy, episode 461

Do you think events in time             Diverge. Everything matters; a

I think things converge, so

I think the idea of convergent vs divergent timelines is
rather interesting. I think a convergent timeline is a
prerequisite for time travelling to work at all. If it's
divergent, you'll find that stepping on a flower thousands
of years ago might turn your family into lizard people,
like in that Simpsons episode. And let's face it: Who wants
to live with a bunch of V freaks?

Nice episode!  This is about the only time I've seen HammerHead happy.
I thought I'd write that Linda doesn't have a very developed character,
but that may be because she's more normal than most (all?) of the other
characters, and just a nice girl.

ObAscii:  Linda training her boxing skills.  Why?  I don't know.

Also, it seems she's only wearing a boxing glove on her left hand.
