it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee

I was going to watch Leverage, but Grimm turned out to be easier to find a torrent for, so hey, that's what I've been watching. I liked the first two episodes a lot.

The third, however, was about bees. And bee-people called Mellifers. And ARGH THE BEES WERE ALL WRONG AND BEES DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT. *cries for a while*

So yeah, I didn't really pay much attention to the plot of that ep, I was too busy cringing in horror :P But it's a fun show. I like Monroe especially, and the coroner is awesome. Although, she does appear to be the only woman in the entire police department, sooo.

Also, ohai Sam Adama. Nice to see you. Interesting career change, from assassin to police chief, but Portland is probably safer than Caprica City! Did you bring your husband with you?

ETA: "Notice the iris is fully dilated, nearly filling the eye completely." Um. That's the pupil, Coroner. Thanks for that.

ETA2: And that's not a toad. It's a frog.

WHERE IS THE SCIENCE RESEARCHER FOR THIS SHOW XD

It's actually so fail that it's hilarious. (Where are my LJ notifications today? :S)

I feel the need to point out that Dollhouse was every bit as bad :P

You should see if there are any entries for it on here (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtisticLicenseBiology?from=Main.YouFailBiologyForever).

Any examples? Obviously the main premise (neuroscience does not work that way), but anything else you'd like to share? I haven't done biology in a long time, so I doubt I'm as aware of such things as you (it was one of my best A Level subjects, though, and I loved it. I feel a bit guilty about abandoning it).

The psychosomatic asthma in the first episode springs to mind immediately - there were a lot of other moments that made me facepalm while watching it. Especially every time they had medical stuff that was non-brain stuff, although medical stuff which looks shiny as is terrible is one of Whedon's hallmarks :P (And things like them being so pleased they'd cured Sierra's "schizophrenia", but not taking her out of doll state so that she could have a choice while able to understand what was going on were just, well. That's one of the subjects I'm very touchy on.)

I can't look on tvtropes, spoilers!! :P I shall after I've finished the season, I'm sure :)
