Every time Jessica Fletcher shows up in a town a murder occurs. :rolleyes:

yeah, why didn't she just stay at home. If she came to my town i'd leave quickly.

I always kinda hoped that the Sheriff would one day have his own double episode, to solve Jessica's rape & murder & all he did was smoke weed & fúck bítches. It had Emmy award winner written all over it.

I am eternally grateful to Murder, She Wrote for an episode where she'd been drugged unconscious while the murderer destroyed evidence - the scene where Jessica angrily confronts the killer about "slipping her the mickey" when her "back was turned" made me fall about the place laughing.

Also, yes, if that wan is on your singles cruise or staying at your hotel, GTFO while you still can.

Most scenes in Dante's peak. Actually all scenes.

Prison break :
When they got put into the prison in panama and had to escape from a prison again

Even worse again:

The whole of season 3 was spent getting Michael and a couple of others out of the prison in Panama. When season 4 starts, we learn there was a mass breakout after they escaped, and all of the characters they had to leave behind could now become part of the story again. A show called Prison Break and the biggest breakout happened off screen.

Oh! Oh! And!

Sara coming 'back to life'. Lincoln SAW HER HEAD in a box!

"Suspension of disbelief". What a stupid term

When Kenan sues the tuna company because he found a screw in it...that ending.....

Turtwig · 08-09-2013 01:05AM

CSI had a CCTV footage scene where they used the reflection in a person's pupil to identify the killer. :eek:

Edit: Found it on Youtube.

Elysium, and any other sci-fi film where something the size of a small bus could get to orbit from the surface. Where do they put enough energy and reaction mass to get to orbit in something that size?

I know they have the big space station and the robot cops and the magic medical beds, but FFS it is the size of a bus!

Swordfish. Like the movie but every time Hugh Jackman came near a computer I had to go to my happy place.

In Back to the Future, when Marty's parents didn't cop their son Marty was the same Marty who introduced them and whom his own mother had fallen for and snogged 30 years earlier.

season 2 of Revenge ( maybe even season 1 but still love it)

I watched a few Dr Quinn Medicine Woman episodes over the summer and in one episode she invented plastic surgery.

Not fully a suspension of disbelief thing, but kind of is:
Prison Break Season 1&2

Michael gets the intricate tattoo that effectively shows the blueprints of the prison, because he's such a bloody genius.
HOWEVER: he also includes codewords and stuff that help him along the way. Including, in big letters, "English, Fitz, Percy" the names of the three streets outside the prison. You'd think he could have remembered them, or have at least coded them in some way. Particularly given that it's what makes Mahone realise that the tattoo contains all of his plans.
Another example would be the fact that he named the boat Christina Rose, after his mother. This was apparently not already memorable enough to him, that it warranted a big tattoo of Jesus' face within a rose (Christ in a rose).
I mean bolshoi booze made some sense to have on him (but he shouldn't have made it look so much like numbers), but the other stuff, jaaaaysus.

Just watched that ending on youtube to jog my memory.

I'm disappointed the aliens didn't probe her.

The scene in Commando where he storms the complex and there's about 100 guys shooting at him and they all miss but he gets all of them. I love Commando

laraghrider · 08-09-2013 04:23AM

The SyFy channel wins this hands down. Take your pick from:

Sharknado
Ghost Shark
Croctapus
Sharktopus
Mega Shark V Giant Octopus
American Battleships

Oh- Fringe! Just, I try not to think about it, hurts my brain

I like Michael Douglas but The Game never fails to fill me with rage - and I have a pretty high nonsense threshold...

Quazzie · 08-09-2013 08:37AM

At the end of the latest Fast and Furious film they have a fight on a plane that's taking off on a runway. It must be the longest runway in the world.

Heres a video that explains how long it would be.

18.5 Miles :eek:

Any time I watch CSI or Bones any of those forensic-laboratory themed crime shows, with simply ludicrous technology-aided discoveries in their crime labs.

Can't insert it as an image, but if you click on the link, you'll see a parody of the kind of stuff I'm talking about:
