THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD SIGN: “It’s no fiction: Scientific fact has usurped science fiction as TV’s favorite inspiration for prime-time story lines. And to keep everything on the up and up, show writers and producers are hiring scores of researchers and technical consultants to get the science straight.”
Nope. This kind of crap, and I mean that in all sincerity, has been going on for quite a while with no appreciable difference to the strength of the story line. Crap. Now instead of chasing the red herring or the McGuffey you have to sit still for the.... SCIENCE LECTURE!....no big deal just sit still and shut up and maybe, gods forbid, learn something already. House does a lot of this krapque so does CSI and others too numerous to mention are guilty as well. Big deal. So a weak story line is buttress by true SCIENCE lectures. Please. It was more fun when Scotty was screaming for the fluxcapacitor phasers reversal transducers.
