The whole jumping to conclusions thing is such a contrived, barely veiled plot device, that anyone with half a brain can see right through, it boggles my mind that it's so ubiquitous in movies, tv, and many books. I find it insulting to my intelligence as the intended audience. I agree with both of you.

But seriously, why can't these people just talk to each other? It's so infuriating, because it's obviously just manufactured drama. The <i>Twilight</i> series was terrible about this as well.

I like your snarky comment about how even Tale of Genji has better communication. Ha!
