Yeah, that's gobsmacking. How could anyone look at a character portrayed by Bill Murray and Lorenzo Music and say "Yeah, he's all serious"? (Maybe they could be forgiven on Dave Coulier)

Good gravy, even the
pros have been guilty of that one--one of the things I disliked about GB2 was the way Winston was almost completely ignored between the opening party scene and the team officially reactivating. Dammit, I still think he should have been there for the investigation and the whole courtroom scene. There are FOUR Ghostbusters, dammit, not three.

I have to point out one story I did that you may get a kick out of:
