My problem with the whole episode is......You dont need a detector to find a buried Stiff!...Just about any dog of some sort is more than ample! "The right tool for the job" so to speak...Plus, wandering around on Tribal Land stiff hunting with a little dog is a quicker and a more innocuous method, highly efficient!...Not only that, but you have the potential of meeting GIRLS if your little 'stiff hunting' dog is a cutie like a Norwich Terrier or a Dachshund...so theres that to consider as a side benefit whilst afield shallow stiff hunting!...
I woulda surely thought Mike woulda gone this route? Especially how he already had a relationship with that Veterinarian who patched up his bullet hole from the Season 1 shootout?....Free dogs galore at his disposal!...Hell! He coulda taken along a half dozen dogs from that Vets office, let them out to run around in the desert on Nacho's coordinates, and got 'er done in about 5 minutes tops!!....
You cant hardly find a stiff or garnish the amorous attentions of any Girls diddling along all old and bald headed with a tiling spade and running a BH202! WE all know this! MAJOR TECHNICAL FLAW!
Without the benefit of a cute little dog to attract wandering and unattended randy Girls...For an old poor looking baldheaded guy? You need at the minimum a sweet Indiana Jones Hat, a Crocodile Dundee vest, a BMW, Full sleeve tattoos, a Harley, a guitar with a valid Platinum Visa card for a pick, a Minelab, a Butler salting the sod with $20's or TJ Maxx gift cards....Even then, thats just to gain the introduction! No guarantees! You gotta smell fresh and not appear to be a creep, which is about impossible for most of us! Even then, with all of these parameters in order, you gotta also enjoy 'candlelight conversations and cuddling' and be able to dance!..
..
So yeah, a cute little dog cuts right through all this foreplay introductory chitchat, puts you right on the buried Stiff in about no time...I was disappointed in the BCS writers and also angry they subjected our Favorite character Mike to this 'BH202 desert Stiff Hunt' fiasco...Poor form, cheap gear, too much time expended, leaving open holes...etc...
Plus, it takes practice to find even a shallow totlot penny with a BH202, Let alone hitting a gold wedding ring (on edge) on a Stiff buried 1' deep....this glaring technical flaw in this otherwise stellar BCS Romcom drove me a bit off my feed....
A little dog can find a stiff quickly and naturally in a very large area, Hell, they will even do the excavating for you! Mike certainly knows all of this! Once again, Unforgivable Technically Impossible Hollywood Chicanery Prevails!
Nearly as aggregious technical impossibility as when Roy Schieder stuffed an air tank into the sharks mouth, then, as it came at him once again, shot it with some stupid WW1 bolt action and ended the movie..Never forget it! Back in '76...damn shark blew up! Even as a kid I knew it was all impossible bullcrap!..
So a few years later, when that one damned Elliot kid flew his bicycle with an Alien in the basket, defying gravity, I was skeptically ready and realized it was a fantasy...
But this BCS BH 202 Mike Stiff hunt caught me a bit off guard....In this day and age, I expected a bit of believeablity and was once again disappointed by Hollywood!...
