Biggest suspension of disbelief you've had to have with a TV show or film

    That moment in TV or movies when you've just about accepted something completely unrealistic so the rest of your brain can enjoy the show or film's conclusion.

    I'll start with one, during 24 when
    Tony Almeida comes back to life
    , it was absolutely ridiculous

    Please use spoiler tags on any major plot twists

    In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

    24 was absolutely pants and I couldn't stand it. The only reason I watched the first few seasons was to keep the OH happy and also jack's daughter was pretty hot. ;-)

    I actually found plotlines in the x-files to be more believable than 24.

    That Debbie Magee married Paul Daniels for his prowess at bedroom gymnastics.

    edit, still looking good though.

    Shutter Island. So many plot holes.

    The first few episodes of Lost were pretty good but it went downhill fast and only got more ridiculous as the seasons went on.

    The fact that dream team would have some catastrophic disaster on the last day of the season. Why would any player sign for that team?

    X factor, i can not believe that all those viewers believe it isnt scripted / planned or that the media isnt manipulated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,917 ✭✭✭✭GT_TDI_150




    Depends on how you viewed twin Peaks, it was meant to be a comedy series.
