judge by the ratings , a lot of masses tune in last night to keep an eye on Eleventh Hour , Jerry Bruckheimer ’s Fringe - esque show about Hood , a “ particular science adviser to the FBI ” act by Rufus Sewell . found on a British show that fail , the series wind up making science seem even more like a preposterous Medieval fantasy than Fringe does . After view last dark ’s time of year premiere , we came up with eleven ways that Eleventh Hour manages to smear the reputation of unspoilt scientific discipline in its ill-conceived effort to lay out what real “ biophysicists ” like Hood do . Here are all the ways Eleventh Hour shows us that skill is malevolent . 1 . scientific discipline lead to dead fetuses . We first chance our skill bad guys when they are hurling bottles of dead fetus out the windowpane of a car in biological agent containers . 2 . Cloned children can drink down their mothers . Our scientists are embed clone babies into fair sex , all of whom die in childbearing . Hood , our particular science adviser , explicate , “ This abhorrence is what happens when you try [ cloning ] human beings . ” Um , no . Cloned infant creature do tend to pall faster than uncloned 1 . But cloning has no effect on the health of the mother . 3 . scientist are only one footmark aside from forming sleazy international cloning gangs . Which is exactly what they do in this episode . 4 . skill leads to women impregnating themselves with clone babies for cash . The sleazy external cloning gang recruits down - on - their - luck women to bear their deadly clon by make up them cash and refusing to give them adequate medical care . 5 . The main matter scientists institute to the table are affecting aphorisms . We never see Hood actually geek out about anything , or go into a lab . Instead , he just says sciencey thing like “ In science a minus resultant role is just as valuable as a confirming one , ” or “ DNA is like a personal barcode . ” 6 . you could explain cloning with grapes . See , the grape is like an nut . And then when you fertilize it , it turn into radical cells that are just like a whole crew of grapevine . Wow , thanks for the scientific discipline moral , you half-wit . 7 . scientist like to expend religion to restrain bad guys . When Hood want to question a suspect whom he knows is spiritual , he drags him into a convenient Catholic church service , shoves his face into the fork of a crucifix , and yells , “ Maybe you ’re a waste of God ’s time ! ” means to use logical system in the service of crime - fighting there . 8 . Science all takes property in Seattle , where there are a ton of rich people who pay punk international cloning rings to make written matter of their dead kids . Nuff said . 9 . Science is just a form of microscopic masturbation . Hood goes beyond the grapevine explanation to give us an even more precise understanding of how cloning works : “ Cloning takes skill , ” he order . “ To clone anything takes science stroke gently with an artistic bridge player . ” Oh that makes sense . Because my hand are completely small enough to put atomic DNA inside your fucking grape . 10 . When it comes down to it , scientific discipline is really the same matter as religion . While persuading the plenteous Seattle cloner not to buy copies of his youngster from seamy international cloning gangs , Hood proffer this salvo : “ [ Your Logos ] Gabriel ’s soul is more than its constituent role . He is not the merchandise of his DNA . ” That ’s wholly biophysics talk correctly there . 11 . you’re able to cure anybody with a petty CPR . And that ’s exactly how Hood bring through our cloning dupe mummy . Just softly press on her chest , and she ’s breathing again . Luckily , he rescued her from science , which would have just guide to her ringer - induced expiry when all those grapeshot pop and the baby ’s soul started leaking everywhere . On a scale leaf of one to WTF , I give this show an eleven .
