Firsties! And thanks, Mike. I didn’t think you’d play THAT one.
Can’t wait to hear when production starts on Joe’s show
Yes! I agree with Mike and it’s been something I’ve been saying for years. Science Fiction writers for TV & movies could devote a little more effort to getting the science right without ruining the entertainment value of the show, especially in shows that try to be realistic.
I know that it is entertainment, and, yes, I suspend my disbelief, but when “realistic” things are obviously wrong, then it detracts from my enjoyment of the show. I think Armageddon is a hoot, but it has horrible science.
Scientific mistakes have been the reason I’m a bit annoyed with Eureka. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the show. In my opinion, obvious fantastic elements such as the artifact and the death ray should get a free pass. But when I see a bottle of 98% Sulphuric Acid, I cringe. It’s a show about scientists and science. It’s almost inexcusable to get such a simple thing wrong. For people that haven’t had chemistry, or have forgotten, acid strength is measured in molarity.
That’s it for my ranting.
There needs to be lady truckers in Joe’s show!
