You can't upsample a picture to show data that it never even gathered! A face blotted and composed of 10 pixels.....are just that; ten squares.
Amen.
People are so stupid if they think that the ability for police to get something from evidence is as good as it's portrayed on TV.
I really like (sic) how they routinely handle cases that are in no way federal jurisdiction...or that most states have well-equipped crime labs (you'd not think that judging on how the show portrays things)...or that a major museum would dedicate an entire section to solving FBI cases when they have other work they should be doing.
I agree. It's pretty darn unrealistic. I've even got a friend who actually is an anthropologist and he can't stand the show because apparently Dr. Brennan knows nothing about science.
But then, I don't watch it for the science. You can't watch any non-documentary show for it's science. I watch it because unlike every other show on TV, there's actual pacing in the relationships. Every show you watch nowadays, it's an emotional problem an episode. Someone gets pregnant at the beginning of one episode and by the end they've decided whether or not to keep it. Then by the end of the next episode, the baby is born! Someone shows signs of having a crush on a person at the start of one episode and by the end they're dating. With Bones, things happen slowly, and that's a really good thing. With other shows, the characters just have SO MUCH going on, you know? They've got a thousand million problems ALL THE TIME and then when the writers start running out of ideas, those problems start contradicting each other or switching from character to character. With Bones, I just feel like the characters have always been themselves, and that is worth a lot in my opinion.
(Also, I was wondering is it just me or is the sound of Angela's magic science hologram machine really painful? Especially in the first couple of seasons.)
