They doubted us. They told us we were crazy. They said it we would never be able to accomplish this, that it would be too much for any one podcast to handle alone. BUT WE DID IT. WE FINISHED SEASON ONE OF THE FLASH, HATERS. Who exactly are these haters, you ask? Doesn’t matter, moving on.
In this episode, Caitlin and Nicole discuss the last episode of season one of The Flash and the first episode of season two of The Flash with their excellent friend Natalie! There is much ranting about singularities and black holes. We also finally discuss the burning topic that’s been looming over the podcast from the beginning: What on earth is a particle accelerator really? The answer might surprise you! (Ignore that clickbaity ending. The answer won’t surprise you. There is a 0% chance it will give you superpowers.)
