And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

taking something that exists in the real world and modifying it that greatly feels like a cheat.

Something like...the real geographical distance betwen Baltimore and Princeton? And the existance of the Acela train's first class car, which is ever so much more comfortable than any airplane, especially for someone with chronic pain who might need to get up and walk around?

(I mean, I get what he's saying, but I think there are more people from Maryland and/or New Jersey than there are people who know where Medicaid's offices are. IJS.)

I dunno. I've never heard of that train. I was just having some fun.

Everyone in this part of the country yelled THAT ISN'T BWI as soon as the scene started.

Oh, me too, don't worry. It just always amuses me when TV writers staunchly defend a decision to bend this bit of reality, while at the same time saying that it it would be unacceptable cheating to have bent that one instead.

I promise that I will never do that.

I'm just going to say, "Yeah, my boss rewrote that part."

Always Anti-fascist!

Of course I'm from Arizona so getting to a different state takes 6 hours.

I say "problematical" because I'm from New Jersey,

...

Sigh. Too easy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think we made it from Phoenix to Laughlin, NV in four. And that was with a lunch stop in Wikieup--admittedly, there's nothing else in between but a bunch of cactus.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, yeah, but making them go by plane and choosing a hotel over a train or car when the plane is cancelled isn't bending reality. It may seem like a stupid decision, but it's not contradicted by anything factual.
