"The proof is in the pudding" my dear lad.
You agree that it is fiction... you disagree by your own standards that the information the show is portraying is NOT feasable with real science. It is NOT entertaining to you, because you want the fictitious TV show to show relevence to the science that you understand? Is that the gist of the matter? If it is, my assumptions are right on target... you clearly are wanting to continue a debate that you clearly have no clue how to respond to without making accusations about my post.
My initial post quoting you is simple really. "Don't criticise a fictional show with reality". Don't get me wrong, me and my brother-in-law have had many discussions about how he over analyzes fictional shows... and shit he has some real whoppers... just like Wolverine riding his Motorcycle and slashing the tyres of an oncoming vehicle would literally rip his arm off, automatically turn his motorcycle into the oncoming vehicle and face planting it etc... yup... I had to tell him to take a chill pill and watch it for what it is.
Tell your bro that if he accepts Adamantium in that fictional universe, he shouldn't bitch about wolverine slicing the tires of an oncoming truck. In that universe, it actually makes sense.
Whereas the bone marrow transplant that magically makes people heal radiation wounds instantly is far fetched (aka, no fucking way that shit is happening). Especially not with the circumstances they are in.
If you think about it a little, you have what seems to be 1 doctor and a few aids at the most. A doctor that didn't actually go to med school, but was taught by another doctor (who also most certainly didn't go to med school), and you go up that chain for however long they were stuck in that mountain.
With scarce resources, knowledge of a super complicated science passed on by few individuals and hardly any room for innovation when your primary focus is to survive, the chances of 1 or a couple of poorly trained doctors making scientific discoveries that would literally make science appear like magic is zero.
When you watch sci-fi or fantasy, they present to you elements that you HAVE to accept as part of that universe. Adamantium for example. Or genetic mutations that give people powers. Or incredible (yet still credible) advancements in space travel. Once you've accepted those elements, the rest must still feel like it's real.
That bone marrow transplant feels like bullshit to me too. I just choose to ignore it. Not everyone will do the same.
