Ever since I got an internet connection, I have avoided watching television and for good and numerous reasons. Not that i still didn’t enjoy good movies or series. But now, I could filter the crap they fed me and pick to watch the best! What really annoyed me with TV is that most of the stuff you watch makes you feel like you are retarded. That’s mostly why I stopped watching the local shows and turned to the big Hollywood-like productions! Now they make all they money so they of all the world they should have the best script writers! Right? WRONG!
All the latest series and movies out there are irrefutable facts that confirm that writing a script is not something that you should do for a living! You can’t pay someone to write and expect to get something good just cause you paid! Writing is an art. And if you don’t keep that in mind you end up producing crap, like the ones on which I will briefly take the piss below:
Prison Break (on season 4):
I don’t really think anyone needs to say that Prsion Break has become incredibly stupid. If they stopped it when they should, they would have made a great one-seasoner … and of course much less money!
They way they have stretched the script is not important. What really makes me feel retarded for watching, is what happens in this script. For example on episode 19 (s04e19) they are in a situation where they need to:
- show that Micheal’s mom is a genius
- free her from captivity (she has her hands duct-taped together)
She is all alone in fully-furnished and equipped bathroom. So she decides to skip all the scissors one can find in there and use dental floss tied to the door knob to pull the door-stop from the wall! And she didn’t even push the door herself! She had Sarah do it, so that she could later rub it in her face. And of course, it’s always easier to pull a 2cm screw screwed in there like that, than to chew on the tape or use anything else…
Heroes (on season 3):
I don’t know what to say about Heroes. It was different and could be unique. But in 3 seasons only it has managed to make no sense! I especially liked episode 25 (s03e25) where… *SPOILER* a certain hero dies *SPOILER* and of course what better way to have him around than to take the world’s most dangerous killer and have him think that he’s the hero! Yes it makes sense! And then the hero’s mother can have her child back too! Oh I love the happy ending
Here we can see the method that turns a monster into a loving son (that is also by the way a Senator or President)
At this point I would like to thank the writers of Lost that have managed to save the series from a boring couple of seasons and make it great again. I think it’s the only watchable piece out there right now. Right?
