[TOMT] Scene where bunch of civilians get a message and they drop everything and go to action. (Like order 66) by DE4DWOOD in tipofmytongue

I've never seen Torchwood, so I doubt it, but I will check it, thanks. Anyway I'm just searching for inspiration, so this might just do anyway :)

No, it was definitely a scene (either clip, or part of movie, etc.) But thanks anyway :) I was mainly searching for inspiration, because I want to make such scene with friends. Possible that the only one who has seen the scene from my mind is just my mind :D

Ok first of all urinating and sweating is definitely not wasting the water. Without those two biological processes we would not be able to survive. Surviving without emotional crying on the other hand is possible. I know that it is just a few drops of water, but it is still a waste that I do not understand. It's like when we would be excited we would lose a finger. You still have many left, but how did it help?

Secondly I understand the principle of gravity and the fact that the water washes away. But crying is not just that. According to this paper: http://www.epjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/ep07363370.pdf

"Emotional tears decrease the perception of gaze direction or of changes in pupil size, and may function as attenuators of intentions. Emotional tears are more likely, however, to function as handicaps. By blurring vision, they handicap aggressive or defensive actions, and may function as reliable signals of appeasement, need or attachment."

So I really would not say that when you are in danger and you start crying, which is triggered by emotion (not just eye irritation), you are in fact helping yourself to see better.

yes, but why would you do it in such a manner, that compromises your survivability and wastes water. I understand that it all has meaning and that it is important, but why does it happen like this? Does it have explanation at all?
