I watched the first episode yesterday, I'm amused...but that's not really hard anyways. I'm amused easily.
Carol, the info may be wrong...but I think they rather use fragments of truth rather than the whole truth (or "truth") when making movies and tv-series that is based on information you find around the net and elsewhere.
Maybe someone is trying to make it look like they just had an idea, to at least attempt to throw suspicion off course? You might say: "Oh, that guy knows nothing...he just heard something somewhere and thought it was a good idea"
Could be that's what the scriptwriter wants...
Anyways, I'm not watching and enjoying a tv-series because of the authenticity of the material. I watch them because they make my mind tick, and I come up with awesome ideas while I watch them.
