You know, I do tire of people that don't understand that they're not the target audience; and will fight tooth and nail to claim they're just as competent a "reviewer for the target audience" as the rest of them.
In every movie/series dealing with a villain and a hero, should the hero ever be captured he will invariably be put in a poorly constructed and guarded jail-house and hence escape to foil said villain's plans.
Why doesn't the villain just shoot the guy?
Why doesn't the villain just hurtle grenades while "the guy" is fighting his minions?
Why does the villain need to come up with a NEW plan each time instead of just patching the 'small weakness', in his plan?
I mean, Star Wars would have gone much better if they just had a small grate outside the tailpipe. Patch the hole, and the plan works.
Why this, why that... but it makes for "good tv."
* HEH. I'd also like to point out that "Technobabble" has gotten MUCH MUCH worse in these days and that too many people actually BELIEVE some of the nonsense. Writers feel the need to "make up" technology, even when dealing with a show that sets in the current time; and since writers are uneducated they don't bother thinking about the implications.
I mean, technobabble is added in all the time, even when it isn't really needed... and what they say is just so... asinine. If only you, the masses, had a degree that extended beyond "what wikipedia says."
Most of the complaints here are about the IMAGERY of all things. Leaving the headlights on is just a play between the darkness and the light. If the inane stories of EVERY "made for consumption" series / movie don't bother you, then something as simple as that bothering you is impossible.
