LOL, I thought the same thing when I saw that episode. There they are

You’re not being imaginative enough. Do such phenomena have to work in an
overly simplistic way?

I don’t really like the “it’s only a movie” excuse because it lets the
writers off the hook too easily. A better phrasing might be “because it

I prefer the explanation, “it’s sci-fi and we don’t have the time or inclination
to fully explain here how it works when it’s all highly speculative anyway”.
What a shame that some people don’t make the cerebral effort to try and explain
to themselves how it might work, and instead just dismiss what is often good
entertainment.
I think you guys are looking for the non-fiction section of the video
store... ;-)
