      We’re talking about TV shows and movies.

      There’s normally one unrealistic conceit, eg aliens existing, that the audience believes. But then, the regular conceits like “The scientists studying the aliens speak like a bunch of robots and act like total idiots” become harder to believe.

        Oh okay! And I see your edit that Bob is the portal, yeah I did not pick up on that one from the script alone. Great dialog on second pass though! Very believable, Tarantino levels of mundane.

        This is what makes Arrival so good. They don’t want the best person for the job because she insists on being involved, they give the aliens nicknames immediately and everything goes to shit at the first excuse to start a war.
