IA.

And also, a lot of "genius" characters really... aren't. It's often really hard to show a genius character being a genius believably - in the same way, although maybe not to the same extent, it can be really hard to demonstrate a fictional rapper being a genius rapper, or a fictional comedian being a genius comedian, like in Studio 60, or whatever, because the rapper or comedian is only going to be as good as the person writing them. Very tricky.

This can work with mystery shows (the genre where you often see this character type) because the writer can control the information available to the audience as well as to the characters. Unfortunately, this tends to fall in a heap if a) the writers don't do it well or b) the show/books/whatever continue on and the writers run out of ideas too fast. And if the writers don't actually know as much as they think (see: House for a prime example) then it just gets ridiculous.

Yeah totally. It's quite funny, for example, I play chess a bit and any time a show uses chess to try to demonstrate how smart a character is, it's just excruciating
