A lot of people found it inconsequential, but I find it much harder to listen to the message if the story breaks my suspension of disbelief. I couldn't get past the water thing, either. I guess some people are able to cruise right on by such howlers, while others are just jarred right out of the storyline. (I can't enjoy most sci-fi films for the same reason. Watching them is like being repeatedly struck in the head with a baseball bat. Very distracting.

Saynomore, keep in mind that Shyamalan's bad guys can be pretty sympathetic (e.g., the Glass Man), and his twists often have more than one turn. I suspect it's not going to be quite that simple.
Has anyone else wondered why all the scenes he deleted from his movies are added back in when they're broadcast on TV? It's not like we're getting "director's cuts" of the films, since Shyamalan cut those scenes himself, for reasons he explains on the DVDs. Of course, I often disagree with his reasons, and I'm glad to see some of those scenes restored in their proper places, rather than as outtakes. But, still, I wonder if he's bothered by it, or if he changed his mind and approved the restoration.
