  • A reactor isn’t a catalytic converter. They might get some coolant that’s mildly radioactive. The core would probably kill them if they ever managed to open it. There’s not a button to just open it, it’s only designed to be opened with heavy equipment in drydock.

    Dirty bombs are more of a boogie man than a real thing. High grade materials are dangerous to be around without shielding and can fairly easily be tracked. It’s just as likely to kill the makers before they can get a bomb together than be used. Lower grade materials require more to be dangerous, which means less spread with the same explosive, and the bomb has to be pretty big. It’s easier to get a backpack full of explosives into somewhere than a van full of radioactive material, and the backpack will have a bigger radius.


  • I think it’s content dependent. I lean towards not having them, but I can think of a couple episodes of the magicians where I would have appreciated the warning instead of the after the fact help line screen. It’s also true that adding a warning lessens the impact of the scene being warned about which I think is also counterproductive.

    I think we need more granular ratings than we currently have. Kickass and I Spit on Your Grave having the same R rating is essentially meaningless.
