I wasn't even paying that much attention to the acting. The story was just awful. Not everyone who is smart is anti-social. It's funny on the Big Bang Theory (although I get annoyed when I make the same jokes as Sheldon and my friends call me on it). It's just that a show about "geniuses" should at least try to get some technical details right.

Backups overwriting the only good copy of software? Is this the IRS?

Vital backups being saved on a single hard disk? I'm just a lone computer programmer and I "splurged" for a $100 RAID server for my home network.

The plane having the good copy of the same software that was corrupted at the control tower?

No capability of the pilots to switch back to regional flight control when the tower goes out?

No plane-to-plane communications?

No one in the entire Los Angeles area with a freaking radio able to communicate on the ATC channel to those pilots too lazy to change frequencies to find out what is going on?

And the always popular failure to understand the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours. Any script using the word "watt" should be reviewed by the set's chief electrician. You don't need a scientist - just, the guy hooking up lights and microphones would be able to say "No, you got that wrong".

I thought the writing for the second one was just plain awful.

Glad I didn't waste my time on it. I watched the first and culled it from my way too crowded viewing list.

Curious. Did you like Numbers? What about Leverage?

I agree with you about the sloppy details. I think the show could be saved with a few consultants...one of them being a Mensan who functions as a normal person in the real world (yeah, they got the high IQ thing wrong, I thought, too).

It’s you! Why no freeper pick’em this year? It’s only week 5. You have plenty of time to beat the rest of us. We’re all playing badly. Good to see you, btw.
