On a more frivolous note: Arrested Development seasons 1-3 Simply because Portia De Rossi has had at least 2 new faces since then

Yeah, I have a bit of a set of rose-tinted glasses when it comes to Arrested Development, because each subsequent rewatch reveals a lot of really weird, sort of gross, and fairly outdated humor. Especially season 3, in which I think literally everybody gave up.

But even at the time, this plotline made me say 'wait, how old are they supposed to be? This is not right'  E: 35/17.....ewww spog has a new favorite as of 15:39 on Mar 28, 2018 |

Pretty sure George Michael was still in high school at that point, even if they were supposed to be 18. As Ann as the nose on Plain's face.

Chloe from Smallville apparently was one of the head honchos of a sex slave cult that blackmailed and branded women, so, uh, that's going to be a weird show to go back to.

"I'm 18 now and we haven't done anything." Gob: "Well, practically nothing."

Apparently Nicki Clyne requested that her character be written out of Battlestar Galactica so that she could join the cult full time. I am really looking forward to finding out just how much of the Vancouver film industry was involved with NXIVM.

Opening lines in her Wikipedia page had me  quote:Nicki Clyne (born February 11, 1983) is a Canadian actress. She played Cally Henderson Tyrol on the Sci-Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica. She is also known for being one of the personal sex-slaves of Keith Raniere, an alleged cult leader.

Jeez Louise. I just looked up Clyne to refresh myself on which BSG character she was, and that 2011 photo on Wikipedia fits right in with the allegations that that crazy sex cult guru starved his slaves because he had a thing for skinny women. And Chloe was one of the best points of Smallville (faint praise, I know). I gave up on that show somewhere mid run when Lana got a tattoo that made her a possessed by a Chinese ninja witch or some poo poo, but my husband powered through to the very end. I used to joke that he had some bizarre variety of Stockholm syndrome. That's a bit less funny, now, thinking about Mack being an actual cult victim. I hope they both get help.

I didn't make it past season 3. I was pretty excited for the show; I remember seeing a billboard for it in spring of 2001. The monster of the week stuff started off fine. But then just go to Wikipedia and read the episode descriptions. Like you say, every other episode has a vampire, or a native American werewolf, or somebody being possessed, or Clark infecting himself with red kryptonite, or killer bees. And Lex would discover Clark's secret, but then turn out to be a clone double or something. I've watched soap operas with 'imaginary' characters that made more sense.

Yeah, you gave up while the going was good --- smart move. It really did turn into the worst soap opera ever, and I say this as someone who inadvertently got hooked on watching All My Children while recovering from an illness back in the early 90s. (Fun fact: I never got into Buffy because I hated Sarah Michelle Gellar's character on AMC so much. Just couldn't see her as anything but that loving brat Bianca Kane.) Sad thing is, when they brought in new writers at the very end, there were some choice episodes if you're a big ol DC nerd like me. But it was still a matter of "so Doomsday is an EMT... Uh, okay, wake me up when you get to the one with Booster Gold."

I mentioned this in some other thread, but a trend in media. About 10-15 years ago it felt like 'Head Characters"/Hallucination/Imaginary Characters were a pretty popular thing in media that audiences were comfortable with on a consistent basis and not seen as too 'out there'. They went from being a one-off episode thing to important parts of a story for series that probably would have typically never used them as long-term devices. In recent years, though, the alternative reality/timeline setting has seemingly replaced them. Granted, both have been around for much longer than those recent examples, but there's seemingly been a lot of popular use of them them in media in more recent windows of time, too.

Then "Inside Out" premiers and it felt like everyone was comparing it to "Herman". I assumed that the show was something that ended after maybe three episodes but was so weird everyone remembered it anyway. Well, imagine my surprise when I looked it up and it turns out "Herman's Head" aired for three seasons? On-topic: you know how every so often, "Ren and Stimpy" would have an episode that felt, like, wrong somehow? Welp.
