Another CoE Fail

[a_silver_story]

Firstly - apologies for all the CoE and, more recently Gwen-centred bashing in this journal. I promise you it will eventually, maybe, someday ... stop. Okay, the Gwen-bashing might, but CoE was so much fail even bringing Ianto back won't make me see that many positives, I shouldn't think.



Anyhoo, I bring you more fail - of the most epic of proportions. Perhaps not quite so epic a the possiblity of sound travelling in space, or a virus being released from an air-tight box and actually being able to kill people in under ten minutes (c'mon! Even ebola isn't that fast - and ebola's had practice!), but it is still quite a ridiculous failure.


Look at the day, clearly spelt out on Ianto's newspaper at the beginning of Day Two:

So ... if Day Two was Wednesday, Day Three was Thursday and Day Four was Friday ... logic tells us that Day Five would be a Saturday. So ... um ... why were all the kids at school, in full school uniform, on a Saturday?

Also, Gareth was exhibiting a bit of a weird thumb, there. Dontcha think?

I doubt the "lowest ten per cent" of achievers went to a Saturday school, and those were the targets. I've never really heard of state-run Saturday or weekend school ...

I never had a Saturday school at my school - and I have a feeling we'd have been included in the margin of ... I dunno what to call it ... margin of those to be sacrificed? Beside that, every child was supposedly at school.

It was an RAF-camp school that I went to for a couple of years when I came back from the US, so...yeah. That could also affect it. And, like you said, apparently all kids were at school.

*facepalm* Seriously, writers, start thinking through your storylines a bit better! A good deal of fanfic writers do more research than you do!
