Open Question: What's the difference between a good plot and a bad plot?
Whenever I read movie, book, or video game reviews, sometimes I'll see the phrases "...the plot is terrible." or "...has a horrible storyline." Then I'll (go see/read/play) the (movie/book/game), but I don't see anything wrong with the storyline. Could someone explain what's so bad about the plot?

Open Question: I'm looking for advise with my boyfriend's 11 y/o son: am I overreacting at red flags for violence?
Background: he's ADHD, his grades are C/D's, he's pretty shy, his parents have been divorced nearly 3 years, is the only grandson (vs lots of granddaughters on both sides of the family; and as such is given a fair amount of special privileges). Somewhat typical/maybe slow for his age .. he has no grasp of schedules (does not know if he has a baseball game tomorrow or not). We've caught him in lies recently and have been addressing truth/consequences by taking away privileges when we catch him lying. He can, however, tell you every stat about guns, wars and history around it. He plays alot of war video games; we reduced the hours significantly when he's with us but he appears to play significantly at his mother's home. And his grandparents allow alot of TV including things like Future Weapons/How its Made Weapon shows. Members of his family are bipolar; including an ex-military aunt who, in her younger years, holed herself up in a fast food restaurant bathroom with a gun (luckily no one was hurt; but she was institutionalized as a result). As the 11 year old and I recently chatted about my background being raised on a farm; he asked animated questions about killing the animals and when I said I would never do that, he said he would (in an excited voice). I feel strongly we need to start counseling now for the 11 year old right away. We only get him every other weekend and given the very difficult relationship with the ex--monitoring the situation and trying to parent; in my humble opinion is not enough for the statistical red flags I'm seeing. My boyfriend, I believe, thinks that talking/rationalizing with his son is enough ... although my boyfriend encourages the child's interest in war history (as the 11 year old has not really grasped team sports or any other interests that he's been encouraged to try; my boyfriend is trying to build up the 11 year-old's confidence that he is "smart" by being able to recall war history). I would love some feedback on this! Am I over reacting in thinking immediate counseling is needed?
