I usually justify bad decision-making in film and movies by the characters' mental state. Like, if they are freaking out and go do the first thing they think of that might help, I will excuse that. It's part of the story. I start to hate it when an ultra-competent character makes dumb choices though. That's just lazy writing.
people in movies often freak out in a way that people rarely if ever do in reality
we are relatively ok at surviving usually
Usually, though there have been one off anecdotes about people doing the absolute worst thing like 10 times in a row to eventually end up dying in a horrific way.
"And that's how my uncle died from anal sex."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Did you guys see where that judge who got recalled for his shockingly light sentencing in the Brock Turner case tried to get a job as a high school girls’ tennis coach under a different name?
It's rainy and I'm working from home in my jim-jams, but I have no food for lunch. The thought of putting on pants and driving somewhere and getting out of my car in the rain is currently on par with starving.

As someone who has been to the NCIS headquarter I love popping people's bubble of what NCIS really is.
Its cubes. Lots of cubes. Cubes old enough to drink. In a room with no windows and cheap lighting like all government buildings. It is a mix of people in suits/dress clothing and uniforms. And many of them look exactly how you would think a person working for the FBI of the Navy would look.
Also the cafeteria kind of sucks and sells Papa Johns.

Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and justrightmouth bass.
My favorite thing learning about a fish was when they changed the name of a trash fish *cough* chilean sea bass *cough* to make it more attractive to idiots, and it worked! I'm looking for the day they change carp's name to "Deep Dive bass" or something.
Avoid paying too much for a St. Peter’s Fish if you see it on a menu anywhere

Yes with the same cubes and lighting but mostly on a base and like a staff of like 15 people.
I bet Singapore office is nice though.

What did Chilean Sea Bass used to be?
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

The LA office in the show looks like a converted spanish villa, or some building adjacent to Union Station. It's insane.
At least the normal show looks like cubes, just way too many windows.

I want someone to make a movie about investigators that shows the true glamour of government work.
No free coffee. One microwave. Old beige cubes in a beige room with florescent lighting and no windows because it is a secure facility. Computers that are a 5+ years out of date. With a lot of other unrelated offices on the same floor. Lunches at over priced cafeterias. And most folks eat at their desk because it saves money.
And most of their time is either replying to emails, posting on reddit, or maybe writing up reports and answering the same inane question over and over again. And meetings. Lots of repetitive meetings.

I liked how Bosch had the hollywood division look like a real police building, not in the best maintenance, old cubicals, and people arguing over who's chair is whos. Probably because Connelly's books always made every police building Harry was in sound about the most boring pedestrian place to be.

I want scientific research on the office layout that makes workers happiest. Compare that to most productive layout. Does having no privacy actually keep you on task more?
