10.5...the SEQUEL?!

What the ★■◆●?! The first one was a damn JOKE to anyone with a brain. It was ridiculed all across the internet, and now they're making a sequel?! No wonder theres nothing good on TV anymore. First it was the "reality tv" craze, and now its the return of the shitty mini-series that never should've been made. Maybe this time they'll do 10 minutes of research on google instead of 5 like they did the last time. (they admitted that)

It was on NBC last year. It was about "the big one" hitting the west coast.
Come on guys, 10.5 was one of the best mini-series to ever hit the TV!
...it was damn funny, and an unintentional parody of the disaster genre! One of the best examples of how NOT to do it...
But seriously, I couldn't wait to find out what the next stupid thing they would come up with was. Especially after that gap-in-the-ground-chasing-a-train bit. (Well, it was chasing it. It was obvious.)

Yeah, I had to fight the urge to change the channel when the gap made a right angle turn and still followed the train...and just CONVENIENTLY stopped when the train was swallowed. Don't forget the ever increasing quake strength.... It was like listening to an episode of Star Trek whenever the Enteprise got attacked. Anyone that ever payed attention in school would know thats a bunch of bull right there. The shockwave would travel like the ringwaves whenever you drop something in water, not keep getting bigger and bigger.Sirius wrote:But seriously, I couldn't wait to find out what the next stupid thing they would come up with was.

Yep. Utterly awesome.
1) Earthquakes opening gaps of that size in the ground anyway. Which they don't.
2) The fault line just happening to follow a train track. Exactly. Complete with turns and all that.
3) The ground opening at more or less the same speed as the train, and moving down the track - notably, nothing happens behind the tip of the forming gap, it just stays still there - instead of like, you know, all the length of the plate actually moving at once.
4) The ground suddenly stopping after swallowing the train, as someone put it, "satisfied with a job well done". Or maybe the train coincidentally -just- missed the end of the fault line? Which happened to be, apparently, a rounded point?
And, of course, we know that was only one of the hilarious screw-ups. Just the most spectacularly bad one.
