1072: Adultism is Real
FBI Television Show, Genomic Phenotyping and Bomb Triggers
The new Dick Wolf series "FBI" is critiqued for its portrayal of technology and procedural tropes. The show features "genomic phenotyping" to create sketches from blood samples and a bizarre plot point involving 15-year-old mobile phones used as bomb triggers because their batteries lack modern fail-safes. The hosts mock the dialogue and the "cool" rebranding of the bureau.
