I know that rapid-fire pace of banter can work, because it works perfectly on Moonlighting.
Yeah - maybe it bugs me more here because it seems to permeate every single interaction, and so many of them involve teens who, let's face it, are on average not the most eloquent people I've ever run across. It just never allowed me to sit back and just enjoy what they were saying - I always get too stuck on the unrealistic pace of the dialog. 'cause dude, that would be like a whole town of Cordes, and I can't see how the universe would *not* implode with that.
Sure, give me a talking blue plant and I'm fine; make the dialog too formulaic and I'm crying "Unrealistic! Fake!" Pffft.
