This was actually the topic of a thread on another site that I frequent, but really, what has happened to creativity on today's TV series? More specifically, what has happened to a more accurate use of language on TV?
In recent years I've heard grown actors, supposed heroes on a given series, talk like children, with such vocabulary as, "Can you see the bad guys?" - a close to verbatim quote. Hello? What about .... Do you have the murderer, robber, rapist, ect., in sight?
Honestly, much of today's TV is so insulting to my intellegence that it simply doesn't appeal to me. I mean, can you imagine the logical-minded Spock asking Scotty to beam him down to reason with the "bad guys"? Personally, I'd laugh my b..tt off to envision his serious demeanor while his lips uttered such childish rubbish. ;D He just wouldn't be Spock to do such a thing, and neither is any other grown man credible as an actor when he resorts to such baby talk. So why is this seemingly the new standard for some television series?
