RE: Chemist adviser to 'Breaking Bad' talks about scientific accuracy on TV
To #3: Yeah, I was watching this movie with my kids, and the scientific explanations were horrid. Then they showed the INSIDE of a house and zeroed in on a caller-id phone number on a handset. They claimed it was done by triangulating satellite images. I fell off the couch laughing. Fortunately, the movie was salvaged because the main character ALSO called BS at that point, and finally got the "real" explanation. Of course that involved some crazy sci-fi, but at least it didn't violate common sense, so I was OK with that.
