I'm with you on the just shoot him thing. I mean if you really wanted the job done? But that definitely wouldn't be good TV. (Just look what happened when they tried that level of "realism" in Torchwood.)
But, truly, the rules don't apply the same in TV land. Characters (Steve) run around for days with penetrating gut wounds, get KOed and wake up and shake it off like nothing happened, fall of a roof and actually manage to land on the balcony a floor below with just a grimace, get hit by a car, suffer broken ribs and concussion (again) and yet still go spend a week deployed on an aircraft carrier. You see what I'm saying?
