Just saw one yesterday, so thought I'd ask Reddit for your picks for terribly written scenes or conversations. Here's my pick from the Prime show - "The Capture" season 1, episode 3:

Scene: Two officers from an elite Counterterrorism unit in London meet for the first time, are told they are working on the same investigation (as semi-rivals), and ride in the same car to a location where they think a suspect has been taken. The following is their conversation (paraphrasing and skipping unimportant bits).

Gemma: Do you have kids?

Rachel: Me? No.

Gemma: I have two daughters. I didn't think I'd have any. My mother died giving birth to my younger brother, so it put me off the whole kids thing for a long time.

Rachel: My mom died when I was 13 of cancer, and then my dad introduced me to his mistress and my half-sister. My father had another secret family for seven years. My mother died not knowing. That's why I am a cop.

Note: This is the FIRST CONVERSATION between two counterterrorism officers, about three minutes after they met. I was half-expecting them to get married before the car ride ended.

Anything new on the story? Ig we all believe the runner now? Any ID on the biker?

Don’t leave us all hanging.

As many of you make your final college decision/commitment this week, remember this truism. Your success, wherever you go, will still be dependent on you. The school can only do so much. As the events of this week have shown, there is no such thing as a “floor” or a “ceiling” for any college. If you stay on top of things, well adjusted, connected, and HAPPY, you will succeed. If you get depressed, overwhelmed, disgruntled and miserable, you will fail. So make your choice based on where you think you will be happier.

I'm looking at the various study abroad programs offered by my university, and I am a little confused by the options. Seem to be two types of programs:

1. Programs run by companies (CIT, CIEE, IES, SIT, etc.) - it seems like they run their own small campuses in these cities, bring in their own faculty, etc.

2. Direct exchange programs at universities - where we enroll in courses taken by the local students.

I'm not sure if I am grasping this correctly, but what is the point of study-abroad programs of the first type? If we just go to some city abroad but are put in a bubble with other students from US schools then what's the educational or cultural benefit?

Again, I may be missing something completely from the literature - so will be glad if someone can correct my understanding here.
