I tried to imagine how the person who wrote this exchange thinks
computers work, and the nearest I can figure out is "magic".

*shrug* the only other one I can think of off the top of my head
is where she describes sword fighting techniques that are only
about 5 centuries off for the sword she's holding. Compared to
any other teevee show that's a clear winner.

Oh that would really piss me off.

Not that I should be complaining, as it is rather a specialist form of
knowledge so scriptwriters are bound to get it wrong. Fight directors
have only been getting it right in the last few years.

You still get the Hutton idea that arming swords and 2 handers were
just smashed about with no science turning up, and that does annoy me.

THere must be a lot of other minor geekdoms getting regularly annoyed
by things on TV I never notice.
