((*shoots TCM for spoiling the main villain of Penelope's plot*))
"There's a difference between two different histories with different diversion points and an entirely different set of rules to begin with. There's a point where 'alternate' becomes a point of pedantry rather than accuracy."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Everything traces back to a creation event, and you had a Big Bang thing, right?"

[SOLDIER First]

Wilson watches the news mostly, but switches between it and the sci-fi periodically.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"A theory. It's a point of similarity that isn't proven conclusively to be what happened yet, but I do agree that it's probably the most likely explanation.

I'm not really an expert on this kind of thing, to be quite honest. I'm far better with computers and superheroes."

[TheBiggerFish]

"We have the big bang theory too, yeah.

But you're saying that you don't have timeline-hopping crazy stuff going on a lot?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"No, not really. People have tried, but it doesn't work like that."

[TCM]

"You two sound like you could use a drink..."

You know when you're in a loud bar and you're trying to watch the T.V. and have to rely on visuals and slow-moving subtitles? Wilson has to do that. From what he can gather, the iridium market is down, some desert planet is waging a cold war against another desert planet, and a new species of sea slug that looks like a bunny has been discovered.

The sci-fi program, titled "Assholes in Space", (the space station must not be in the FCC's domain), is about a group of weirdos on a space ship that go on missions for a sassy AI. In the five minutes that Wilson watches, he sees about 4 main character deaths.

"Like I said, I don't really drink."

[TheBiggerFish]

"It's MacGuffin Of The Week in a lot of comic books...

And TV shows.  Holy carp the Doctor could actually exist somewhere.  Yes please, multiverse...  That would be amazing.

Inomi, no thanks...I don't drink either."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Penelope shrugs.
"I'll give you that. Still, it was nice to talk with someone who knows about this. Even if I don't know it myself. Hey, the more you know, right?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Yeah.  Though to be honest I'm making this up as I go along."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"That makes two of us. Nobody said we were experts, right?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Ha.  If TVTropes counts..."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Penelope notes down 'TvTropes' for later research.

[SOLDIER First]

"This seems really inefficient."
