'East West 101'
"Ice In The Veins"
One of the most trivial things which separates the Television Universe from the Trueniverse is the presence of boom mikes visible in shots. Not even serlinguists and tele-cognizants seem aware of these boom mikes above their heads, but they can be seen by the audience back in the Real World.
(In my Toobworld novel, the Real World visitor to Toobworld knows its there at one point and uses it to his advantage - as a swing to lift him high enough to kick the gun out of his assailant's hand.)
When Detective Superintendant Patricia Wright of Sydney, Australia, went to answer her door, the shadow of a boom mike could be seen against the door. As she grasped the door knob, it suddenly lifted up and out of the shot, probably to avoid being hit by the door......
BCnU!
