Fan Casting Idiot Plot

Description of Idiot Plot:

Originated by SF author James Blish and popularized by film critic Roger Ebert during his review of the remake of Narrow Margin, this trope is a term for a Plot that hangs together only because the main characters behave like idiots. A single intelligent move or question by any of the characters, and all problems would be resolved. It's not so bad if the characters are SUPPOSED to be acting like idiots, but it's VERY bad if the Idiot Plot depends on intelligent characters picking up the Idiot Ball for the plot to work.
