Overheard from Hay who is upstairs in bed and has just woken up:
Hay: "How about a cup of tea?"
Chairman: "OK."
The Chairman goes and boils a kettle and returns to his computer to do some work before 7am, promptly forgetting about the tea, as usual.
5 minutes later:
Hay: "I guess the tea is stewed to death!"
The Chairman goes over to the kitchen to inspect, feeling guilty.
Chairman: "No - I not only forgot about the tea, but I also forgot to put the teabag in the cup in the first place, so it's OK!"
Why are drama writers these days fixated on telling a story in a series of flashbacks? What's so incredibly boring about telling a story sequentially and logically? The minute I see the subtitle; "36 hours earlier," or; "4 days earlier," I just lose interest.
