I’m also excited about Stargate coming back

Definitely LSD, but I haven’t gotten in a really long time

Of course not, but it’s nice to have proof

As I mentioned in another comment, it just binged through a show called line of duty, and the ones they did were very, very good, especially as the seasons went on. In season six, they started by recapping certain elements from season one, and did that clever “wink“ to hinted what might soon be to come. It didn’t spoil anything, because the “thing“ happened pretty early on in the first episode. Each episode after that showed them again, but progressing through a bit more into each season before it addressed what happened in the previous episode.

Everything that happens in every season finally culminates in season six, so they put it together pretty well.

The last time I even saw a CD player was probably during season 10 of Doctor Who

For the basic ones, yeah, but for some shows on streaming, you see previouslys that address stuff that happened several seasons back if it happens to be relevant for that particular episode.

I just finished watching line of duty, and some of the previouslys brought stuff up from a few episodes back or even a few seasons back. As another commenter mentioned, some shows do it better than others.

What is his obsession with “auto pen”?

The good shows will have a “last time on X “at the beginning of each episode, aka “The Previouslys”

Gotta keep you watching and binging. Episodic format work best for syndication, where in the episodes might get, skipped or aired in a different order than they were produced.

Ugh, it’s all so disgustingly incestuous…

I like how the math pipe and the cup of espresso are in the same picture

I always wanted to help my mom with the cooking when we were growing up, but she was such a control freak that she would hardly even allow anyone else into the kitchen. I’m sure plenty of other mothers are like that, too.
