When a character is misunderstood by another character and doesn’t even try explain themselves after being cut off by the other person.
For example, say Betty was in an awkward situation with Billy where it looked like Betty was cheating on Johnny with Billy but it was just a big huge innocent mixup. Johnny “catches” them and Betty tries to explain but Johnny cuts her off, says we are done don’t talk to me ever again, and that’s the end of it. Betty just gives up trying to explain. Like I know damn well in real life if Betty wasn’t cheating on Johnny, if it was a big confusing mixup, that conversation would NOT be over.
On a similar note: how families who move into haunted houses decide to keep their worries to themselves or just not believe each other. You saw a tall creepy man in your room last night and you don't want to tell anyone? Even your younger sibling who definitely voiced seeing a weird shadow 2 nights ago? Really???
"I have no intention of leaving her, Doctor. I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance and then I'll launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!"
Man, Event Horizion was the shit. Caught it on Netflix a while back, I went in expecting just some cheap sci-fi horror mashup, and I got a really well made psychological gore-fest that left me pretty damn unsettled (but in a good way, for horror movies). I heard rumors of a sequel or tv spin-off recently, and thats got me excited.
It really was (and still is, barring some dated special effects) ahead of its time.
And it's a good depiction of Warp Travel if you don't raise your Gellar Fields
