* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Cartman attempts to freeze himself so he wouldn't have to wait three weeks for the Wii. He does so be burying himself in snow, but all it does is nearly kill him. Luckily, an avalanche preserves his body, and is revived hundreds of years later. In normal circumstances, he could have, and should have, died.

** When he's thawed out in the future, Cartman learns in horror that the Wii isn't used any more. The next episode shows a lone console in a museum, but technology is evolved to the point that he is unable to even hook it up, much less play it.

* StrawHypocrite: Garrison's fickle ethics are on full display this episode, being incredibly antagonistic towards ''anyone'' with different opinions, but still feeling entitled to change her own for any reason (such as being in a relationship with an atheist). Garrison's belligerent effect on Dawkins is shown to have negative effects on the future, where religion is abolished and laughed upon, but there are just as many fractions murdering each other over the pettiest of disagreements.

* OpinionFlipFlop: Garrison is initially hostile to the whole idea of the theory of evolution and everyone who believes in it, teaching it with furious reluctance and as inaccurately as possible. However, when Richard Dawkins expresses romantic interest and they start a relationship, Garrison does a complete 180 overnight and becomes a full-blown HollywoodAtheist, ridiculing anyone who expresses more religious or moderate views on the subject of evolution and science.

Not even close to that Lamarck proposed, and to say so is a complete disservice of what Lamarck accomplished and thought.


-->'''Ms. Garrison''': Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of BULL CRAP. But I've been told I have to teach it anyway. It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this: In the beginning we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this...retard frog squirrel, and then that had a retard baby which was a... monkey fish-frog... And then this monkey fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and... that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey and... that made you! So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! [[SarcasmMode Congratulations!]] [[note]] Ironically, he’s very close to Lemarckian evolutionary theory. Which posits changes an individual has will even during their lifetime will carry over to their offspring [[/note]]

This sounds like some kind of debate is going on between tropers. Repair Dont Respond.


* NegativeContinuity: Garrison saw the Sea People evolve into an intelligent society in "The Simpsons Already Did It", so how is s/he a creationist now? That wasn’t evolution though, that was a species changing due to the interference of another being and then just going through rungs of civilization. It was essentially accidental intelligent design that spurred change in the biology of the Sea People.

-->'''Baltar:''' It puzzles me that an intelligent, attractive woman such as yourself should be taken in by all that mysticism and superstition.
-->'''Dawkins:''' You have so much spunk, so much life. If only you were an atheist. Why has someone as outspoken as you given themselves over to the whole God thing?
