I don't think anyone is asking for "always rational" and cold people. I'd just like something resembling plausible behavior given the extreme circumstances - which I'm most certainly not getting.

However, we all value such things differently

Personally, I'm much more affected by believable scenarios that I can fully immerse myself in. It makes it that much more effective - and it wouldn't need to be about showing all the gore you possibly can every 60 seconds.
