Many comments were made about the attempt to download older version software from a plane that possessed it by stringing an Ethernet cable at high velocity. But the whole story line was about how the tower used updated software and they needed the old version. Any "genius" would tell you that the company that made that updated version keeps the old version on file. They don't just throw it away when they make a new version. Even Microsoft has Windows 1.0 on file. Rather than doing a Rube Goldberg to get it, just go to the company and ask for a copy. Problem solved in 5 minutes. Only that doesn't sell a TV show. I have a tested IQ of 152. (Documentation available.) But let me tell you even geniuses can do stupid things. When I took the test to get that number I skipped a few questions that I felt were hard. I finished the test in less than the allotted time but assumed I couldn't go back and work on the ones I skipped. But in reality I could have, yet no one explained that before starting otherwise it might have been higher. No one's immune to making an "oops". The pilot episode was totally laughable because of the aforementioned reason. Following episodes got a little more palatable yet still make me roll my eyes. If you show the general public you can stop the microwave from flashing 12:00 they'll believe anything.
