If we go with Nonsuch’s list, I have a question - would Batman the Movie count? He’s not defusing a bomb, he’s just trying to get rid of it, and runs into nuns, ducklings, etc. Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Huh. I never thought that of Mr. Collins. Clear case, I thought, and well-played in the BBC/A&E co-production 6-parter for TV-- glaringly obvious. I also though it was pretty clear in the Kiera Knightly production. I re-read the book, since the first time I read I knew nothing about autism, and yes, it was all there; the pet topic, discussed unrelentingly; the assumption that your needs are everyone’s needs. The inability to assess risk. The character seemed somewhere on the spectrum, but where, I can’t say. I’m hssssssssmssssssssssssssssssssssssssmmmmm all right let her have a taste o it. ---
