So Kim's family is in Dallas and Bob wants them out of Texas
fast...and he tells them to drive WEST?  Drive north and you're in
Oklahoma in a bit over an hour.  Drive east and you're in Louisiana in
three.  Drive south and you can be in, well, the Gulf of Mexico in
about five.  But drive west and you'll still be in Texas 12 hours
later with El Paso coming up in the distance.  And the whole scene
just outside "downtown Dallas" got so much wrong that I can't begin to
list it.

Memo to TV writers:  1) Texas is big, really big. You might think it's
a long way to the corner store but that's peanuts compared to Texas.
2) Maps of Texas are available from AAA, some Exxon stations, and on
the Google.  Please look at one for a moment when writing about the
Lone Star State.  3) Dallas does not have mountains, palm trees, or
scenic overlook highways.  Dallas was built in a river bottom at the
edge of the Great Trinity Forest.  Someday our levees, built on sand,
will fail and the economic loss will make New Orleans looks like a
rounding error.  I know you have to film in southern California but
could you at least edit out the palm trees?
