TV shows with casinos in them (ST:TNG Casino Royale)

[Justin7]

How many of you hate watching these, because they are so unrealistic?

Data figures out the dice are screwed up. So he bets progressively more, until he wins 12.5m to buy the Casino Royale.

In one sentence, how many things are wrong? What happened to table limits? What happened to heat? And Data had no cover at all - he even told the whole table that the "dice were damaged".

While I understand that an artistic license gives these writers a wide latitude, some of this is simply unbelievable, even for sci-fi.

As someone who grew up idolizing ST:TNG and who owns a really nice Commander Riker uniform to wear for Halloween, I'd like to state that Casno Royale was easily one of the worst episodes they made. I totally agree with your points, but I had to stick up for my favorite childhood TV show.

I guess that's why they call it a "movie" ................. , but I get what your saying we don't wanna see a fictional setting.

It's a movie son. Everything is permitted. Try to fire a RPG from a helicopter like Rambo and see what happens to the chopper.

I hate it when men get pregnant in the movies. What happened to biology?
