And I’m still annoyed that Disney didn’t take the opportunity to turn the show into Bill Nye the Science Guy with crimefighting: highlighting a real scientific concept in each episode and using it to stop the villain of the hour.
@prologic@twtxt.net I have seen these screen shots. But have not yet seen them in actuality. I use ublockOrigin. Maybe it gets these too unlike adblock.
