In the types of T.V shows I watch, people get shot quite often. That's why I've developed the gunshot rule. This rule consists of several different parts.
Part 1: Is the wound closer to the shoulder or the heart? If it's closer to the shoulder the character lives. If it's closer to the heart, I'm sorry for your loss.
Part 2: If the character is shot in the stomach, there is usually a lingering, wavering scare of whether or not they'll survive, but in the end the character will pull through. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, especially if the character does not get medical attention soon enough (ex: Torchwood).
Part 3: leg wounds are hardly ever a problem. No one dies from being shot in the leg.
After long contemplation, I've decided that the place I'd like to be shot most would be in the foot. You would avoid any essential organs and there would be much less bleeding then the leg. I don't know why you would get a choice of where to be shot. Unless the criminal is very courteous, "I am going to shoot you now, but first where would you prefer to be shot?" Hopefully you could pretend to be debating about this until the cops came.

ReplyDeleteThis theory is very nifty in impressing your friends by predicting whether or not a character will die while watching T.V.
ReplyDeleteTV characters almost never die while watching T.V. But omg that would be so meta.
ReplyDeleteBut the foot is supposed to be very painful and it has too many bones. See the SYSK podcast.
