[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3809165, member: 2477"] It's not as solidly "comedic" as Get Smart, it's a different style. More fights and such, at a minimum. What got me wasn't the computer breaking, it was the idea that the HD was completely unrecoverable after that. They've recovered data from all kinds of ruined HD's and this "fall off a shelf" was nothing. It was an obvious plot device though, and I think falls under the "can't take it serious" tone of the show. For me, the NSA/CIA wanting to KILL each other was a bit more of a bad moment, rather than the tech screw ups. It's also bad in the sense that I don't think they "get" the "nerd community", as the helicopter "just like a video game" stuff shows. (In ep1, he says "this isn't an xbox and you're not an xman" and it was funny, but I'm not sure they knew WHY it was funny, but instead tossed out something that "nerds" would think funny... Like having a cop show with no cops to advise.) Theoretically, they don't have the super computer with the shared information, it's gonna be 6 months to rebuild. So, sure they have CIA computers and NSA computers, but no CIANSA computer. [/QUOTE]
