TV and FILM TROPES: OVERUSED or UNDERVALUED?

from DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD

Why does the guilty party always get tricked into confessing the crime? Why are bad guys such lousy shots, no matter how much ammunition they have? Why is love at first sight "a thing"? Why do smart characters always forget "that one thing" that ends up begin their undoing? Join the Blerdsassins Next Door, here in the OTHERhood as we ponder whether these and other tropes are worn out and overused; or if they are useful pop culture shorthand or embedded cultural touchstones.
