Probably a Malon episode.

Nope. Though now that you mention it, the idea of anyone in this universe having so much antimatter they're throwing it away should probably have outraged her just as much.

That sounds like she's talking about Emck, from "Night," but I didn't think he was from another universe.

I don't think you followed that exchange correctly. Nate suggested the Malon, and I was just saying nope, not them. (My emphasis on "this universe" was a physics thing. Our universe is biased toward regular matter over antimatter; it's easy to imagine the bias going the other way in a different one.)

No, I was sort of agreeing with you. It sounds like Emck, but it clearly isn't.

Okay, a hint: the radiation was killing people. For plot purposes, it might as well have been Chernobyl-style nuclear radiation rather than the kind that annihilates everything it touches.

Ugh. "Friendship One." That horrible, horrible episode.
