uh, still about stealth

A Thing:

We have a very large port here. The actual port itself is about a twenty minute drive from my house, and our metro area is so structured that it's this huge, sprawling monster of a town, so when we say "the sailors are in town," what we mean is that the ships are in and you can find sailors in any suburb along the train line.

Just discovered that when the US sailors are in town, they won't let attractive, unaccompanied women pay for their drinks. A girl can order a drink, but when she goes to pay, a sailor (if nearby) will just tell the bartender not to accept the girl's money.

*makes notes*

HULLO STEALTH OMG. I need to be less obsessed. AALEKJDKASDF.

I don't actually think it's that bad.

BUT I LIKE ACTION MOVIES. So.

Sigh.

I think that sometimes Ben plays Patsy Cline and feels sorry for himself. But you're AUSTRALIAN. You may not know about Patsy Cline.

Oh, me too! I personally really liked the action parts and the fact that the dialogue DIDN'T SUCK, but the bad science. Oh, the bad science. That one shot of the double helix snapping down the middle pushed it over from 'quite good' into 'OMGWHAT'.

But I enjoyed it thoroughly and would watch it again and again and again, so I won't nitpick the dreadful things that happen when the entertainment industry tries to be scientific (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, RON D. MOORE. YOU AND YOUR CANCER-CURING 'ANTIBODY FREE BLOOD' WITH ITS MOLECULAR DIAGRAMS THAT LOOK LIKE SJDGDSGSADAH ANYWAY). I often wish I could go to LA and pimp myself out to writers of shows so that I could beat them around the head with the glaring scientific errors in their scripts.
