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

IvaBigWun

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

In Oz. They gave Cyril O'Reilly some aging pills and his full head of hair turned white overnight. I was outraged! How is a tablet going to change the color of hair that's already grown. :mad:

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:

And they wear their own clothes to crime scenes. No white paper jumpsuits?

Years ago in Coronation Street the actor who played Nicky, who was about ten years old, was replaced by an actor who was in his mid teens. That actor was then replaced. I stopped watching it years ago but last time I happened to catch a glimpse of it they had yet another actor playing him.

Also David Platt went from being an annoying child to being some kind of psychotic evil genius.

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.

What's even more mental is the Marty we've been following throughout the film has now stolen the alternate Mary's life. His family were poor and miserable and he goes back, gets his parents together, sorts out time and changes things so now they're rich and succesful and happy.
So along that changed timeline post-1955 the parents had a kid named Marty, that Marty still exists when the Marty we know comes along and walks into his life, he'd be a completely different person brought up with happy rich parents and probably off at school someplace only to come home to find his time double in his room or something.

The photos where people disappear out of existence as well, how could a photo change because the person in it doesnt exist anymore? if that was the case every photo of someone who died would be blank. It's just a plot device to show how the timeline is changing but it still makes no sense. I do love the BTTF movies though :cool: Time travel in films always needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as it'll only make your head spin.

Alien Resurrection is on Japanese TV right now.

So, let me get this straight..you've known about these aliens for 200 years, been studying them for 200 years...and you sill kept them in a cage made of metal, so they could escape with their acidic blood?

Home & Away. A natural disaster every year or someone joining a cult every few years.

And the amount of times they used the "witness protection"/"someone isn't really dead" storyline is ridiculous.

Like - this is years ago now - when Peter Baker died in an explosion (at Jack and Martha's wedding, I think?) - Jack needed a liver transplant after the explosion and it was said that he got Peter's liver. But then it turned out that Peter was actually alive, hidden on witness protection - and the liver was never mentioned again!

Ten of Swords

V for Vendetta,

10 police officers unload handguns into him. Not one bullet hit him anywhere other than his chest which was protected with armour.

His arms and legs completely uninjured as he is able to massacre them all while they're reloading. Nobody went for the headshot?

I agree. But who are we to argue with the greatest trilogy of all time?

There's an ongoing Feedback thread I saw re: spoilers in the TV forums for shows and series "because people may not have seen them yet", prepare for pages and pages of posts that are blanked out with completely unnecessary spoilers!

In the Elvis Presley western Flaming Star (I know, really going for the low-hanging fruit here), when Elvis is told by an Apache with the quite brilliant name of Buffalo Horn, "I will return again at a time when the sun has killed the stars." Er, okay, Buffalo Horn, see you in the morning then.

In Harry Potter Hagrid's mum is a giant and his Dad is a wizard so he's half giant. How on earth did his Dad with his normal man size penis satisfy a giant with a proportionately sized vagina? How did she not squish him?

The mind boggled if you think too much about the mechanics of giant and non giant sex!
