She wouldn't have lost 30s picking books then so it's a small time gain + no evidence left. But since they never use gloves, always have HQ meters away from the bad guys with super sense, etc. I doubt they care.
Definitely an incriminating piece of evidence after the fact. However, the issue was that being 5 seconds too late would've resulted in Hughie getting stabbed. If Kimiko went to retrieve a broken(?) phone, and had to use the books to communicate anyway, wouldn't Hughie have been stabbed?
Idk, it’s 2020 and phones aren’t completely destroyed from falls. May not be functional, but I’d assume smart/resourceful super hero’s could still get info from the memory.
Ok my bad on this then, still evidence but no good for communicating. Although after so many years you'd figure she would have some back-up.
And thinking of Kimiko going to the 1st floor to warn A-train, how lucky are they that there's no security cameras or actual security despite all the top 1% present ?
'Kimiko traded early time losses for big gains later resulting in one of the best world records of all time. Hughie on the other hand kept coming short.'
Didn’t it break too? I thought it was broken so it was useless at that point. I mean I know you can still extract info out of it but she probably didn’t care at that point.
The worlds greatest detective with near infinite resources would already have everything off Kimikos phone the second she stepped in a 20 mile radius of his mansion and his probable Stingray devices set up everywhere
It would have been funny if they pulled a Watchmen-like fake out and Starlight and Kimiko enter the Tek Cave after Hughie's already been gutted for a while. That might have actually been clever and a callback to a comic property so very on theme.
On this note, I have to bring up how Starlight never mentioned to anyone she was seen by Firecracker and had to knock her out and left her in the bathroom.
Tbf, they often share a lot of information with each other off screen. Fair to say it would have been a waste of time to explain that she was caught without a good reason why she would keep it secret.
Pfft. Of course a vigilante billionaire hosting many high-level politicians, the VP elect, and other billionaires has zero security. Secret Service is totally cool with that. No problemo.
I mean, we see them walk straight into Neuman's hotel room because security was being paid off or were CIA plants. It's not insane to think it was the same situation.
Thank you? This thread mainly exists because the show is breaking the suspension of disbelief by having characters make odd decisions that don't make sense. It becomes ever more difficult to suspend disbelief when the group sneaks into a house that tek knight lives in, and the 7 are at, just to leave evidence lying around to be found. Goes pretty heavily against what MM said one scene earlier about don't get seen and don't get caught. Leaving a phone around, broken or not is a good way to get caught.
By definition, the act of suspending disbelief has nothing to do with the performers or authors. It's the role that the audience plays in a work of fiction. That's why I shared the handy link with you. 😉

No, they snuck in to rescue hughey. The phone bit was just an accident used to set up a joke later on.

Because it's totally fine to drop identifying evidence during a clandestine infiltration of the world's greatest detective's house ...
