Reply to comment by koreth in What’s actually a good/tolerable example of retconning? by unitedfan6191
Making O'Neill a wisecracker was a good retcon. They explained in show that he was dealing with grief over his son. I always felt like the one thing that would've elevated Stargate the movie would have been a funnier Kurt Russell performance, like his Big Trouble or Tango and Cash roles

That's my all time favorite episode of any TV show ever in the history of television.

If you take your time with the show, there's so many rabbit holes and easter eggs in subreddit discussions. Just search by season and episode like S1E01 or S01E01.
There are no spoilers, but the one I think about all the time is that the creator rendered an image as a sound at the beginning of a really intense episode. The image was the "Hang in There Baby" cat image. A fan's boyfriend was an audio engineer and immediately recognized what the sound was, and processed the audio back into an image.
"There was a strange squiggly noise at the beginning of this episode. My boyfriend is an audio engineer and knew right away that it was the sound of an image being rendered as audio. He grabbed the audio and processed it and found the "Hang in there baby" cat. But what does it mean?"

I was thinking that I'd love to have a setting to watch the original trailer in between each episode.
I went on a binge of Star Trek: TNG trailers the other day, and it would have been amazing on my last binge to see "Next time, on Star Trek: The Next Generation", with that iconic announcer, after every episode.

I've seen that, it's pretty fun but it's pretty much just a Youtube clip machine, they don't have full episodes unless it's actually uploaded to Youtube. So it's cool to "flip through" and feel like you found and old episode of The Simpson halfway through but really it's a 2 minute clip that's gonna keep replaying.

I doubt they review all footage. It would be the truth here.

Yeah I’m familiar with the show I was just pointing out that Bluely is more of a “Laugh with the parent because the dad in the show is in the exact same situation that you are now” watching it with a toddler than a show like Phineas or Ferb where it’s a show for young kids/preteens that makes some pop culture references some times

Phineas and Ferb was also a children's show, but much of the writing had references to movies and pop culture only their parents would really get.

Exactly. The show is a study of the human condition and it does so impeccably. Showcasing how people react to things that don’t make sense would be undercut having some kind of logical explanation to it all, in the end.
