Nicely done.<br /><br />RE: your annoyance with the scientists at the bottom of the ocean. So you can buy into steroids creating supersoldiers, but not someone being able to survive the depths of the ocean? I actually had a similar reaction to "Bee Movie," in which I accepted a bee driving a car but got annoyed when they used pollen inaccurately.<br /><br />There is a concept called "The Uncanny Valley," which has to do with our acceptance of humanoid like figures. Basically it goes like this: we can accept sort of human things, like Robot in "Lost In Space," and as they get closer and closer to looking like humans, we're fine, until they are almost exactly like humans but not quite, at which point our minds rebel and we hate them -- think of the things in "Polar Express." Then, when they bridge that gap and are fully human, we're okay again.<br /><br />I think a similar reaction is at work with science. We can accept totally ridiculous science, or totally realistic science, but something that's 99.9% science we reject. So if your scientists had rigged a teleporter to get out of the sub, you'd be fine with that.

Most adorable character ever.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
