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.
Fridge Brilliance: In "Kill, Mark...Kill!", the show opens with a woman moaning while in a hot-tub, then shrieking when a figure emerges from a well and gets closer on the TV screen. As she screams, Leonard pops up wearing a pair of goggles asking "What's wrong, did I lick the wrong flap?" Basic sex joke, right? Except it's then revealed that the woman Leonard was with is a mermaid, which adds another layer to his question. How would that work, anyway?
More brilliance when it's revealed that Callie can read Aramaic: it was used not only as a language of divine worship (lampshading her status as bringer of the end of days) but as a language of the administration of empires, befitting her role at the department of integration.
Fridge Logic: Callie was shown in previous episodes to be a shapeshifter, why would she need surgery and hormones to become "Dick".
