Stupidity: Two things: 1. I find it inconceivable that there is only one Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDMA) and no spares for a two-year mission. 2. The crew has 20 days to fix an oxygen problem. The commander decides on a 10-day window. 5 days into that window they try to load oxygen from the Kingfisher spacecraft. One is lost into space. Zoe decides to go and fill the other one in the midst of a solar storm that will only last hours. Why take that chance? A few hours wait is still quite possible.

Encounter (2018)
Stupidity: At the very beginning of the movie, law enforcement is depicted executing a no-knock warrant. They approach a house surreptitiously and use a ram to open the door with no warning. When they arrived at the scene, all the cars and trucks in the raid were using flashing lights and wailing sirens. So much for the element of surprise.

Magnum P.I. (2018)
First the Beatdown, Then the Blowback - S3-E4
Stupidity: At the end of the episode, Makani's skull is returned to the cave where it was originally buried. But it is left in a basket on top of some rocks at the entrance to the cave. It would seem to me that that is not going to be a very safe place, as anyone can see it. Should it not have been buried out of sight?

When in Rome - S1-E3
Stupidity: A supposedly covert camera is placed in plain sight on a wall in a crowded room, with a prominent antenna showing, and a blinking blue light. (00:16:55)
