Just how exciting would the show be if it was a documentary based on total facts. The reason the show is a hit is it gives the viewer a sort of fantacy outlook,like phone batteries that never go dead or no one having to take a bathroom break. I bet les than 1% of the viewers have any idea how ATC directs flights, it’s a TV show for goodness sakes, like reading a sci fi novel. To enjoy it you have to suspend some belief or it isn’t any fun.

I understand, as long as folk don’t leave the show with a complete misunderstanding of what’s actually real.

I don’t often nitpick... Just had to say that much. I guess if they can bring Tony back to life, the idea that some other part of the show is fantasy is a little ludicrous. :~)
