...weekend spent watching first season of Breaking Bad tithe...[&o]

I started watching Walking Dead this weekend. Not a bad show but it just kills me how these two tactical geniuses just cant seem to figure out that any position needs a perimeter. I know they needed to leave an opening for dramatic moments and all, but sheer stupidity doesnt help me build bonds with characters. [8|]

Seems everyone has been behaving.

I've added a few folks to my green button list. It keeps my blood pressure down. PM me if you're interested. I don't get PMs from USS Mike anymore-he's one of them on my list.

Alright, the last sentence was an outright fabrication. [:D]


OK that was a good one. [:D]

Went to hang out with some friends yesterday (one of whom is a doctor who seems to have given me a cold. Thats what I get for hanging out with doctors. But I digress...) and was berated for being too literal and picky. My argument is that the writers are either being very lazy or arnt very knowledgeable, neither of which is fair to me as a viewer. If youre a good writer, you can find more creative ways to produce drama than having your characters be idiots.

For rank and file cast for mundane issues, I'll cut 'em some slack. If they're professional soldiers, or tactical gurus then I expect a modicum of composure and experiential expertise to go along with the characters. Nothing gets my goat quite as much as "subject matter experts" that are full of **** in their given field.

Case in point, Jurrasic Park. The wildlife veterinarian seems completely baffled about a toxic plant issue in a triceratops at the park. Some Noob "paleobotanist" finds the answer by digging through some triceratops poop while the veterinarian stares on in slack-jawed ignorance. [:@] My father in law (retired nuclear physicist) laughed himself silly when the two little dweeb kids hacked the "Unix" mainframe at the park in that movie too. "Doesn't look like any Unix I've ever seen." [:D]

I rooted for the velociraptors.

I had this same thing last week... one of my users told me that something must be wrong with the system (aka. "Leo's System") because the password is 100% correct... [8D]

She's a lovely lady but I'm fairly certain our respective spouses would have objected to that. I think it has more to do with airborne bacteria.

To be fair, the two geniuses are cops, although I havent gotten to any part of the show where it may be stated whether either of them is prior service, but it doesnt take a green beret to know that it may be a very good idea to put up at least a token physical impediment around your camp.
