[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally don’t like to pick things apart, but the number of times the characters get out of their cars and walk off leaving the headlights of their car on is baffling to me. Way to drain the battery in the middle of nowhere. Especially noticeable when they went to explore the dredges in last night’s episode — just leaving headlights on when they might be gone for a long time. And if the car was still running, not very smart with a suspect in the area who could jump in and drive away.[/quote]

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing!!  So glad I'm not alone.   :lol: [/quote]

There is a lot I don't like about this season but the "leaving the cars running" thing is not one of them. In very cold places, a lot of people have remote starters that start your engine while keeping the doors locked. if you turn off the car, there's always the chance it might not start up without being plugged into the block heater, or the windshield might freeze over, or the tires get frozen. Lots of people leave their cars running when they go into convenience stores, for example.

During polar night, while investigating crimes, it makes a lot of sense to leave the car on with the headlights on bright. It's not like they're paying for the gas, anyway.

[b]What I think is crazy unrealistic in the show is how people don't have their faces covered when they are outside--that's really dangerous in -20 temps! The actors must have been freezing.[/b][/quote]

And their jackets are flapping around them, not zipped up, no hoods on, no gloves.  Ridiculous.[/quote]
