What irked me about Golden Years was the lack of believable
characters.  Outside of the old couple and the female head of security
I couldn't accept any of the characters on this show (except for the
mad scientist; he's supposed to be unbelievable).

Someone else has already mentioned the problems with the medical parts
of the show.  I almost left the room near the beginning when one of
the dorko assistants to the mad scientist reverently says "More power
than a supernova." to which I responded "Yeah, bullshit!"  If we're
gonna fake science lets at least not go so far out of bounds.

Sorry, I had to get that off of my chest...as an astrophysicist that
line really got my goat.
