Readers are smarter than your average boob-tube watcher!!
Seriously though...I have been banned from commenting on said holes/inconsistencies during any TV show...apparently I'm supposed to sit back and willingly suspend my disbelief...except in the case of Star Trek and any GOOD Sci-Fi (is there
bad Sci-Fi?). We all know that stuff is TRUE and it's just a Govm'nt Conspiracy to keep it from us good folks!! Holes/inconsistencies will just get fixed when they jump through the time dilation chamber/donut....
