So last night I had what I think was a thought but it might have been part of a dream... Yeah, not sure. Anyways, it was about scientists, generally mad scientists, often those that tend to experiment on themselves.
Scientists generally make vlogs to track their experiment's progress, right? Or do only the ones in sci-fi stuff do that? At any rate, what I was wondering was this: why is it always obvious to the viewer that the experiment is going to blow up in the scientist's face, while the scientist (also test subject in some cases) always thinks it's the greatest thing ever?
Okay, okay, when the scientist is the test subject, I suppose it can addle his brain or something. But still.
Also, when it blows up and the research facility is trashed, why is it always the video camera (or the thing that shows what the camera recorded) that is the sole surviving technology of the place? Does it know it's the only thing that can provide witness, and therefore purposely avoid breaking?
Not that I'm complaining. These stories are very suspenseful when the hero finds the clip that has the scientist talking like a lunatic, then the video cuts off abruptly and goes to static, often when background screaming ensues (whether the screaming is in the video or behind the hero, it doesn't matter).
However, maybe someone should at some point make a vlog on how they have a bad feeling about the experiment from the start and the evidence coming in is only confirming that, so they pack up all their stuff and destroy the research and move back home. It would save heroes a lot of trouble in the end if they had one less potentially deadly site and/or lunatic to deal with.
