Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
When I first saw Eureka's "Once in a Lifetime", I thought it was a joke to have Zoey be valedictorian in a future that will never happen. Then I realized that to be valedictorian, she had to smarter than a school full of geniuses. A subtle way to hint that Zoey is smarter than she gives herself credit for. A fact we latter learn to be true when she scores a 157 on her IQ test, but tells her dad it was 112.
Taking the Historical In-Joke to its logical conclusion, if the Einstein-Grant bridge became the Einstein-Rosen bridge after the timeline changed, then that means EVERYTHING prior to the Season 4 premiere occurs in an alternate universe to our own, and it is only now that history is put "right". It may never be significant, but it is an odd thought.
