I have no mouth and I must scream
Apologies to Harlan Ellison for stealing the title, but I just have to vent this inanity.
Body of Proof, I must confess I do watch it and have liked it, but the episode entitled Dark City finally showed me what idiots TV writers and directors can be (and here I thought I had already known). First opening piece is of a 747 in the night sky, cut to interior view, what not even a wide body plane seats are 3-3 in economy not 9 or 10 across as in a plane as big as shown .Next we are told that there are 83 passengers on this international flight. On a plane that big and when we saw the interior shots it looked like the plane was full . . .triple that number. Next the plane depressurizes, I am thinking that it was bound for Philadelphia International as people showed up from the airport so it should have been on final approach. The shots fired would depressurize but in approach the altitude wouldn't be bad. Depressurization doesn't cause a fireball. The pilot wouldn't have to dump fuel after a long run. All of these only set you up for the shot of a rapidly flying fireball behind several tall building. Trouble is a plane a distance appears to be lumbering. This plane was moving like meteor (and on fire) and that sets up the remarkable landing, crash. the plane is going so fast that the tail section is separated by a large distance and yet people live through it in both sections.
Oh and the kid who survives in the toilet, no bruises? and the flight attendant who was in the aisle forward when the plane is depressurized somehow ends up in the tail section?
Now for the nit picks, people weren't in their seats as for landing nor being instructed as such. When Sullivan finds the tail wreckage it is brightly lit with little fires here and there. The fires wouldn't give that much light and if they were that bright why was it so darned hard to find? helicopters would be in the air . . .
Generator with wires cut. Those were some big wires, guy walks in off the street with bolt cutters? and how does super Doc put them back together with no tools? OK he watches survival shows, really?
You now what, after all that insanity I am just going to buy that Sullivan can do an emergency tracheotomy. Oh yeah, pigs do fly.
