Hollywood idiocy strikes again
Sep. 26th, 2014 09:41 pmWatching the first episode of the new show "Scorpion" with Fay.
If you turn your brain off, it;s great. Otherwise the technical errors will have you screaming.
I won't list them all, but for just one example, trying to brown out a 10 block area by doing *something* with a junction box, they tell the person at the junction box they need "500,000 kilowatts".
Folks, that's half a GIGAWATT. That's the power for good sized city. The junction box couldn't possibly handle that sort of power.
But hey, it sounded good...
We'll watch a few more episofdes just to yell at the writers, but I don't hold oput long term hopes for the program.
