    Crime scenes where 2 dozen police personnel can just trample all over the area without regard and rely on a taped cordon to preserve vital evidence.

Other then Mayweather none of these people are without peers but there are only killing machines without peers in movies anyway.
    Point is they still trained a great deal before the fights. Not retired or living a quiet suburban life.

    Along those lines, asteroids practically bumping into each other with the spaceship having to navigate through a maze of asteroids. In reality individual asteroids are so far apart you wouldn't be able to see another one if you
    were standing on one. The average distance between asteroids is 600,000 miles, about 2.5 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. More than enough room for a spaceship to navigate between asteroids.

    My parents loved Murder She Wrote, which aired for over ten years on CBS. The few times I watched it, the police (whether local or big city) were always portrayed as bumbling and inept. Not to mention, they had other cases and other people to take care of. Meanwhile, nosy Jessica Fletcher was going around eavesdropping on conversations and ALWAYS being at the right place at the right time to hear something or see something that led her to solving the case. Had she been in the area five or ten minutes later, she would've missed the whole thing. But her timing was ALWAYS perfect.

    This is kinda specific but, it bugs me that Austin Powers put aside his animosity towards Dr. Evil so easily or at all really, in the third movie, considering the prevailing theory is, Dr. Evil captured, killed, and replaced Vanessa Kensington partway through the first movie w. a fembot who was itself discovered at the beginning of part two.

    I find the redesign of the Enterprise in Star Trek: Discovery and other modern Star Trek projects to be annoying, since in many cases, it conflicts with the ship having a different design in the original shows.

    This is why the fan theory that Jessica is secretly responsible for every murder on the show makes me chuckle.

    I liked it whenever Tom Bosley as Sheriff Amos Tupper showed up to lend Jessica a hand. He didn't seem so inept. Maybe they had an under the covers relationship where he would feed her the information so she could get the collar. He had to be pretty good at solving mysteries on his own because he later traded in his badge for a cassock and solved crimes under the assumed name of Father Dowling. You see, police departments have too many regulations and internal politics that get in the way of solving crimes. The freedom afforded to published authors, men of the cloth, and practicing physicians allows them to catch the real criminals without any of that messy paper work.
