Subject: RE: Confessions of an Authenticity Nurd!
Nope! No problems for me. I recognize that Hollywood is staffed by the same kids who, 10 years ago, couldn't find the US on a map of the hemisphere (and have no idea what a hemisphere is). Also, I don't have the musical ability or ear to be able to tell the difference between Hohner and Chromatic harmonicas, five string and four string banjos, etc. That plus a very low threshold at which I suspend my disbelief makes me a perfect candidate for watching these movies.

But there are things that annoy me. This includes obvious gaps in logic and circumstance such as the wagon train going by the same landmark throughout the movie. In Star Trek Voyager they seem to vacilate between whether or not you can beam someone through the shields.
