Re: Ian's version of the really bad episode
The problem with Electric Sheep is that the writer clunkily put the main characters into an unnecessary situation and we're expected to pretend the outcome wasn't obvious.
The problem with Safe House is that the writer made the main characters behave incredibly and uncharacteristically stupidly and we're expected to pretend we accept that.
