I can't recall seeing anything recently, besides Previously On recaps that can get long depending on the time between seasons rewatching Stargate SG1 they disguised their clip episodes as plot refreshers, given that it was basically one big arch and they were operating in the scattered realm of syndication. I think X-Files did similar briefing room episodes.

If you liked "Under The Silver Lake" I'd say give it a try because it scratches a very similar itch. its good and only gets more out there as it goes on

Eric Cantonese posted:Are there still "bottle" episodes in the age of streaming and lower minimum per-season episode requirements? Can't think of any examples so far but I'm sure I've seen some. They still have their use of allowing one episode to be done very cheaply so the budget can be spent on another more important episode. At a glance Bojack Horseman had one. The eulogy episode had minimal animation, with the main character talking in front of a static background for the entire episode. Marenghi has issued a correction as of 20:52 on Nov 20, 2023 |

i liked Fly tho. bottle eps can be a good excuse to be creative within restrictions compare that to poo poo like the TNG season 2 finale where they just filmed 3 people in a sicklab for 10 mins then played clips from the first two seasons. was also the final appearance of one character lol.

Fly has, imo, Walt's best character moment when he's trying to imagine the perfect moment he could have died and left Skyler and the kids with a fortune but not be hated. He's got a great line - quote:I'm saying that I lived too long. You want them to actually miss you. You want their memories of you to be...but she just won't...she just won't understand. I mean, no matter how well I explain it, these days she just has this...this... I mean, I truly believe there exists some combination of words. There must exist certain words in a certain specific order that can explain all of this, but with her I just can't ever seem to find them. I mean, if that ain't the distilled ethos of the Neoliberal order, lol

idk something about being budget constrained gave old trek its charm, and more eps means more opportunities to really go out-there or flesh out the characters like imagine ds9 if it had ten eps a season, characters like quark/rom/nog/bashir/obrien would not be as memorable as they ended up being and we wouldnt get the goofy rear end moogie/grand nagus episodes

Let's make a Something Awful show. What's the premise? Who are the main cast? When do we get cancelled and get a cult revival only to get cancelled again? What's the absolute most memorable scene everyone references?

The show is most known for the many episodes where all the hosts are too hungover to come in so the camera operator will just film an empty couch for three hours, occasionally zooming in and out on poo poo when they're bored.

But then it got more mystical and magical, and I noped out halfway through. Also I love Silver Lake, but think it's way more grounded, like an american take on Nouvelle Vague and Fellini films.

Who has an agent or access to an exec we can bribe with sexual favours? If that Tiger King guy can get a show, so can we.

Silver Lake is absolutely more grounded, I'm only two episodes in and it's already much more Magical than Silver Lake. But SL still has that element with the Owl's Kiss, it's just not as featured
