A lot of How I Met Your Mother flashforwards make no sense as a result of the finale.
The TR-116 rifle from DS9’s “Field of Fire” would have been incredibly useful if the crew was ever involved in a major interstellar war. You know, like if they ever had to fight the Dominion and the Cardassians at the same time. Or something.
But like most things on Star Trek, everyone forgot all about it at the end of the episode. Ground combat in Star Trek was always total nonsense, but that one example stood out in my mind.
Untrue. I once talked with Sally Caves, who wrote “Hollow Pursuits,” which introduced Reg Barkley. She got a payment whenever the character appeared - except for cameo appearances. She was complaining that one use was being called a cameo.
The WGA is very powerful in Hollywood.
I think they eventually resolved that by saying that they hooked up one last time just before the divorce.
On the other hand, Chandler “met” Rachel about 6 times.
I wouldn’t go that far. It’s certainly a better way to travel, but it’s a pretty wretched way to explore.
That’s like how in an early episode of Mad About You we find out Kramer from Seinfeld is living in Paul’s old apartment, complete with guest appearance by Michael Richards. Years later on Seinfeld, Susan makes George watch Mad About You.
There’s another problem with this one. Paul makes a reference to Kramer about the funny guy across the hall (Jerry) but in another Seinfeld episode (the backwards one) we see Kramer already living across the hall when Jerry is moving in.
You know whats useful?? Firing your phaser like a flashlight instead of a projectile weapon. Using maximum setting which is supposed to take out a small building.
The wide beam setting is handy too.
Carol finds out she’s pregnant in a very early episode and gives birth (as a different actress) before the season’s over, so less than a year. Rachel, however, was pregnant with Emma at the end of one season, and gave birth at the end of the next season, so yeah.
Lilith on Cheers was pregnant for a really long time, so much that they hung a lampshade on it before she finally popped out Freddy.
“Sluttier” than the short shorts that bear her name? I don’t recall that ever happening, but I do recall in the first episode some mildly incestuous flirtation between her and one of her cousins. Like many shows, there were some slight tweaks between the first few episodes and the rest of the series.
There were a few episodes with another, more competent sheriff, played by fake Darrin himself, Dick Sargent, due to a dispute with James Best, but I assume that’s not what you’re thinking of.
Kind of like on the original The Odd Couple (the Randall/Klugman one) where
Season 1, Episode 4 Oscar & Felix reminisce about how they first met, 7 years previous on jury duty.
But
Season 2, Episode 15 Oscar tells the story of how he introduced Felix to Gloria, then after they’d been dating for awhile on the day he wanted to propose, Felix loses his voice. Since Felix’s oldest child is over 10, this means that Felix & Oscar would have know each other for over a decade.
But
Season 5, Episode 10 while talking about how their father’s met each other, many years earlier, Felix & Oscar met when they were kids.
Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and The Beverly Hillbillies were all set in the same universe and shared characters (especially the first 2 shows), yet one episode of Green Acres had the residents of Hooterville doing a play of The Beverly Hillbillies. :smack:
They only have themselves to blame for that though since they knew the ending from the beginning
Hollywood really is the most corrupt industry in America. Just look at their odd accounting system used to prevent actors from ever getting paid. The guy who played Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi can’t get paid because he only gets paid if the film makes a profit and it still is listed as being in the red.
You mean when she was hitch hiking in a bikini?
Game of Thrones, IIRC:
Varys, S1: I will kill Daenerys for you, Lannisters, by sending someone to poison her.
Varys, S5: Haha, I was serving Daenerys the whole time! But neglected to warn her about the poison…
There’s a reason it went like this (I won’t spoil the book version), but in the show it seems that the writers pointed themselves into a corner.
Yes.
People apparently hated the Sadgasm episode because it mucked with continuity, as if continuity was ever a concrete thing on the Simpsons.
Speaking of MAS*H, in the earliest “Dear Dad” episode, Hawkeye wraps up his letter to his father by saying, “Hug Mom and Sis.” Of course, it was later well established that Hawkeye was an only child, and his mother died when he was very young.
Don’t try to make soap opera continuity a thing.
Henry Blake’s wife was named Mildred at one point and Lorraine at another.
The Green Hornet and Kato guest starred on Batman, but on The Green Hornet, the bad guys of the week were watching Batman on TV.
He also told the gang at Cheers! that his father was a research scientist, and not a police officer.
I don’t remember if Frasier ever explicitly told them he was an only child, but in the episode mentioned above, it was clear he’d never once mentioned that he had a younger brother.
Do you mean David Prowse, who wore the Darth Vader suit in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, too, or James Earl Jones, who did his voice?
