"Between Curtis and I [sic], we have more than 500 points of IQ."


Felicity Smoak made this absurd statement in tonight's episode. To be true, it would mean that she and Curtis each have an IQ of at least 251, or maybe one of them is at 300 and the other is at 201, or some other permutation; regardless, this is simply impossible. Second, IQ is not additive. If you put five people with normal 100 IQs into a room, you have room with five normal minds, you don't have a room with a superbrain in it, because their synapses are not interconnected. Truly smart people know all this. I question if the CW writers know that intelligence quotient is calculated by dividing intellectual age by chronological age, e.g., 5/5 = 1(00) and 10/5 = 2(00). This Felicifuckup came right after William's mother, who can't fight her way out of pantyhose, announced she was not leaving the island like Oliver wanted "because I can't leave my son," and I thought about how lazy, ignorant and contemptuous of their audience the CW writers are, and then they took it to a Ben Caesar level with this. Sheesh!

But the good thing about the episode is that it reunited three of the cast members from Spartacus. Crixis kicks ass, Mira rocks and Asher is still a bunghole!

That's like going to two transmission shops that have "30 years of combined experience." Which is better, the shop with 30 guys with 1 year each, or 2 guys with 15 years each.
