Monk: Mr. Monk and the Kid (2005)
Heartfelt but unrealistic
As endearing as this episode is, it doesn't follow the logic of Monk's OCD. He touches things he could never touch before & never uses a wipe. He rolls around on the grass, while in other episodes he couldn't even sit on a bench because he had seen a bird on it. I love seeing the joy & happiness shared between Tommy & Monk, but he could not simply give up his very specific routines with no notice or preparation.
Bones: The End in the End (2017)
Totally implausible & unbelievable
While I understand the need for an "explosive" ending to the series, there's too much wrong with this episode. The fact that the bomb(s) were forceful enough to destroy steel reinforced concrete walls & ceiling, the likelihood of everyone inside sustaining minor scrapes is ludicrous. After Brennan is examined by a neurologist & him finding (presumed) damage to part of her brain she should have been immediately taken to a hospital for further testing. Worst is showing the characters being allowed to reenter the destroyed building before it's even been inspected by engineers. Finally, having the characters sort through thousands of scattered bones, and then Brennan dismissing the interns to try & complete the task alone is ridiculous. Overall, for a show that has tried to follow scientific protocol to fall so far short of any logical action is pitiful.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
I LOVE this movie-but...
I don't know how many times I've watched this movie (1x/yr=40). But I just caught a major error (which should have been caught in production). When they're getting the staff headpiece translated the man says the height is 6 kadam & Sallah says that's about 72". Then the man says to take back 1 kadam, which would make the correct staff height 60". They're so excited that the Germans are digging in the wrong place.
When Indy goes into the map room, the staff he picks up is a foot taller than him, or about 7ft, when it should be 5ft, or about his shoulder height. So now THEY are digging in the wrong place. I can't believe I never caught that!
Still a great movie & storyline.
Numb3rs: Under Pressure (2007)
So much inaccuracy
When going to the house where they believe the chemicals are being mixed, the team has no protection. After the sarin is released, THEN they decide to lock down the neighborhood? Also, when the team is entering the tunnels, they have taped ankles & wrists, but no covering for their faces! Ridiculous!
Angel: Awakening (2003)
Goof-spoiler
When Wesley is reading the writings on the Chinese shaman he is moving the magnifying glass side to side. However Chinese is read top to bottom.
