Continuity Problems
Following on from Charles' exposition on Revenge of the Toss did anyone else watch Las Vegas last night on Channel 7?
We were treated to episode one of season two (as if we cared) where Josh Duhamel's character "returns from the war". What stretched the show's already quite weak credibility for me was that we were expected to believe that this bloke works in the security section of a Las Vegas hotel but then occasionally swans off on missions for a mystery spy organisation. As if. And I'm not even going to start on the ridiculous bit where they identified the serial number of a chip implanted in someone's arm by infa red and then searched the "magic" database to find out what it did.
So Danny returns from his mission with post traumatic stress disorder. This manifests as more than the usual amount of strutting around and acting all moody. Perhaps Hayden Christiansen could take acting lessons from him.
Now I'll willingly suspend disbelief whilst watching network television but this just went too far. Sadly I'll probably tune in again next week as the alternatives are Getaway on Nine (no money = no holidays), or Everybody Loves Raymond on Ten (dear god, does that show never end?). Although a thought has just struck me, maybe I should explore the delight that is Foxtel on a Thursday night. You never know, they might have bought the cheese show back.
