Stupidity: Once the marines have climbed down into Phobos compound, and have entered through the airlock door, they check the control gauge to see if the O2 levels are good. They were aware this was something that needed to be checked, but they brought no protective equipment with them in case the air was unsuitable to breathe.

Casual Person

Stupidity: The marines all wear helmets as part of their protective gear when they go into the Phobos compound, but Bennett and Akua do not wear any helmets at all. They wear bullet proof vests and arm themselves with weapons, but unlike the other marines, they go in without any way of protecting their heads.

The Girlfriend - S3-E1

Stupidity: The whole episode revolves around Adam bringing his girlfriend Emma to his parents' house to meet the family, but problems start to arise when Emma's sister begins texting Adam pictures of her in her underwear. Adam is extremely bothered by this and attempts to make sure Emma doesn't find out. When everyone is at the dinner table, Adam decides to leave his phone out on the table even whilst he continues to receive texts from Emma's sister and the family begin to comment on it. If Adam was so concerned about Emma finding out about the texts, he could have easily turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket, but instead decides to leave it out on the table and switched on, only drawing more suspicion from Emma. Even when the little girl arrives later and asks to play with his phone, Jonny reaches out to grab it, but all Adam does is take the phone off the table so Jonny can't reach it, and then immediately puts it back on the table again.

Suggested correction: Adam knows Jonny is joking with him, as he usually does. As for Katie taking his phone he didn't expect her to. They have all seen Adam's reaction when getting the messages and he is trying to cover something up. Doing anything to prevent anyone seeing his phone more would arouse suspicion. Personally I don't understand why he didn't just explain that Emma's sister has been sending him pictures and ask Emma to talk to his sister. He didn't do anything and loses someone he liked for no reason.

I was mostly referring to the scene where they are sitting at the dinner table BEFORE Katie arrives. Despite the fact that he kept receiving texts from Emma's sister and was growing more concerned and everyone begins to comment on it, all he does is put it back on the table, switched on, ready for another text to come through, which makes everyone further suspicious. There is no reason at all why he couldn't just turn off the phone, put it back in his pocket, and lowered suspicion.

Stupidity: When Ricky's girlfriend awakens inside the drug dealer's apartment, she runs off as soon as she realises what danger she is in. She runs through the apartment building, up the stairs to the roof and then commits suicide by jumping off the roof. Apparently, when she was running up the stairs, she never considered trying to escape the building or see if there was anyway of getting downstairs. (01:11:15)

Stupidity: Just after Ricky has beaten up Tarzan, the warden has the ceiling of the cell Ricky is trapped in lowered in an attempt to crush him. However, earlier in the scene, Tarzan made a huge hole in the wall of the cell to get into it. The hole in the wall is even visible in the background when the ceiling begins to lower. Ricky could have simply run out of the hole in the wall to get out, rather than try to hold the ceiling up with his bare hands. (01:02:48)

The Handmaiden (2016)

Stupidity: Sook-Hee and Hideko manage to escape Japan with the money by disguising Hideko as a man named Go Pan-dol, including forging a passport with Hideko in the disguise, then getting onto a ship headed for Shanghai. Once on the ship, Sook-Hee removes the moustache Hideko was wearing as part of the disguise and then throws it into the ocean. Even if they have escaped all trace of Kouzuki and plan on creating new identities once they have settled in Shanghai, they still need to prove that she is the man in the forged passport that she is posing as if they are to enter the country when they arrive in it. Getting rid of the moustache could potentially ruin the disguise and give away her real gender. Surely it would be a smarter idea to get rid of the moustache once in Shanghai. (02:14:40)

The Handmaiden (2016)

Stupidity: When Sook-Hee walks into Hideko's bedroom before the two of them have sex, she slides the door open when going into the room and never closes it behind her. Once the two of them are in bed together and when they have sex, the door is left the way it is and never closed. Considering a sexual relationship between the two would have been completely forbidden, and, if they were caught, would likely ruin the plot to steal the inheritance money, it seems very foolish of them to ignore the open door, especially taking into account there are other people inside the mansion who could walk by at any moment.

Stupidity: When Thang, Rose and Didi tell Josephine they will help her build a new ant hill, she decides that she does not need her wings anymore and proceeds to break them by stomping on them. This decision was completely illogical as she has no idea if her wings will be useful in future. She could have easily just stopped using them. (00:04:20)

Casual Person

Stupidity: Just after the geckos have finished eating Josephine's children, Thang, Rose, Didi and Sal attempt to sneak away. They attempt to sneak away from the geckos by walking directly in front of them which results in the geckos spotting them. If they attempted to get away in literally any other direction, the geckos would not have seen them. (00:22:50)

Grand Theft Auto V

Stupidity: Friend Request: Michael sneaks into LifeInvader as an IT temp so that he can plant an explosive, which he is carrying in a blue bag, into the prototype mobile that Jay Norris is going to use. He leaves the blue bag, evidence tying him to the explosive, in the LifeInvader building.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Emohawk - Polymorph II - S6-E4

Stupidity: On the walk back to Starbug, the Emohawk jumps on Lister's head to disguise itself as Lister's hat, but it leaves itself in its natural form whilst the crew continue to walk. The Emohawk is supposed to be disguising itself to fool the crew into making them think it is any everyday object. The Emohawk eventually changes into Lister's hat, but leaving itself in its natural form even for just a small amount of time could blow its cover. (00:18:15)

Norm of the North (2016)

Stupidity: In a flashback scene, a mother, father and daughter are taking pictures of Norm and two other polar bears. The daughter decides to run up to the three polar bears, but the parents appear to do nothing about it. The polar bears could have been a threat to their daughter for all they knew. (00:04:25)

The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4

Stupidity: When the Bird brothers are searching the treasure room for Tintin, one of them claims they have found him, and points. The other brother then shoots at him which was turns out to have just been a mirror reflection. The brothers then proceed to find Tintin and start by going straight forward, completely in a different direction than the mirror. If they wanted to find Tintin, wouldn't the more logical thing to do be simply look in the direction the mirror was pointing at? The whole point of a mirror is to reflect what is in front of it, so Tintin would probably have been standing in that direction anyway. (00:37:25)
