Do you ever watch a show and burst out laughing at how incorrectly they represented a field? In a procedural I put on as background noise today, the investigator asked a prof if any of her students might harbour anti-tech views.
Her reply?
"I'm a post-modernist. In my area of study technological inventions are often viewed as art objects."
🤣 5 bucks says the writer of this script didn't even bother to look up post-modern lit and its dominant themes.
What's the best groaner you've seen?
@MLClark I can't think of any specific instances, but my wife JJ used to get upset when the plot had a librarian showing someone's borrowing records without a second thought. The library she worked at had a written policy that a court order was required in such circumstances. I can say as a bookseller I would probably demand the same.
Oh my yes! Great example. Information comes all too easily in such shows from a lot of public services with very rigid policies for such things.
