*MAJOR SPOILER ALERT*
...why is he always trying to save her at night by keeping her out in the open.
At first he was just trying to get her away from Moeka and her gun-toting cohorts; he wasn't trying to save her by keeping her in the open. This is little more than an unfair accusation which ignores context.
where's FB?? letting his daughter roam the subway at night?
I had assumed he was with her in the station. In any case, it is neither directly, nor indirectly stated whether he was there, and therefore cannot be counted against the series as being "stupid."
...having her be run over by cars in dark alleys (common in Japan??) was just stupid.
I thought it was made perfectly clear that this incident was an intentional attempt on her life made by Moeka... At this point I'm beginning to question OP's credibility as a critic and whether he was even paying attention to the series.
Kurisu's death, which turns out to be a bit of a stinker. Her dad is nuts and loves to stab people including his own daughter? A little far fetched...
Never is it implied that her dad "loves to stab people." Moreover, it is no new thing to hear of someone being murdered by a family member for financial gain. And as I see it, the only other option that could make any real sense would be the overly predictable instance where she is murdered by SERN or FB. And I think we can all agree that that would have been a bit disappointing. Props to the writers for constructing a believable alternative.
...and I totally called Okabe stabbing her when he was waiting in the room.
I think most of us did. A bit disappointing, sure, but it's not as thought the entire series was as predictable. And if I'm honest, I think this was intentionally alluded to when you see the screwdriver fall on the ground in front of Okabe, giving the viewer that terrible feeling of knowing what is about to happen, but having no way to stop it; the same way Okabe felt the very moment he lunged at her, delivering the killing blow. Plus, this outcome was NOT predictable before the episode in which it is revealed, so saying that you called an event 30 seconds before it occured is a pretty meager accomplishment/criticism.
And why is that whole inside of the building darker than night? Yes, daddy please meet me in the dark room on a floor where nobody is...
Because the enire series is contrived, just like every other form of entertainment you've ever experienced in your entire life. If the building were light, it would have been just as fabricated. Know you nothing of mood, setting, and the tools used by filmmakers and artists alike to achieve such qualities!? Bah!
This series was excellent. Even the ending (which tragically cannot be said for many of the great animes in existence). For a series which deals so intimately in the mind-bending elements which are associated with time travel, it does a fantastic job. 12/10 stars.
