I could've done without Olivia's dad being the cause of EVERYTHING once he showed up.

Joe Morton never met a monologue he didn't like, clearly.

"Eleven finding her siblings in Stranger Things.
"It came out of nowhere and was so unnecessary and never mentioned following that episode."

While I agree that was my least favorite episodes of season 2, I did like the sisters arc. I tend to like the strangers who are not blood-related but consider themselves siblings because of the circumstances angle. I don't think she'll be brought back but I would've liked seeing Eleven's sister come back and interact with her. I thought their interactions were sweet for the little time it was given. The rest of that gang I didn't care for 😬

I hope they go back to that storyline. I know that everyone hated that episode but I want to know more about her sister and other potential people like her and Eleven. It was just bad execution because it came after an episode with a huge cliffhanger IIRC and it was never mentioned again

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah it was believable that there were more people like Eleven being experimented on. Also it would tie in more of her biological mom which seems to have been dropped because no mention of her in season 3 😅.

[yami_no_hoshi]

Exactly! It ties into the overarching mythology of the show and it’s very interesting to me. They did not resolve her mom storyline!

i loathe the ending of HIMYM so fucking much

[lozbabie]

I’ve said it here before. If you take out the last 5 minutes it was a perfect episode.

Breaking up Robyn and Barney was realistic (tho not soendjng the entire season on their wedding would have been better)

Tracey was PERFECT. Like KMG she was brilliant for Ted and I loved her as a character. Cristin Milloti did such a good job (How Your Mother Met Me was such a good episode)

They showed how perfect they were together and then she died and that was tragic. I cried.

But the last 5 minutes? To have her be a placeholder for Ted and give him children, then die so he could go back to Robyn? Hot fucking garbage.

The ‘alternate’ ending is awful too.

If they’d taken off the last 5 minutes it would have been such an amazing series finale. And they managed to ruin the entire show in 5 minutes.

Breaking up Barney and Robin was a bit stupid though, if I remember correctly he turned into some kind of travel blogger so her traveling for her job taking him with her was good for him and it was just unrealistic that she would end up in a hotel with no internet etc. as a top journalist who needs to be up to date on everything (I remember vividly that they were fighting about that). They fabricated just something so she was free for Ted and I was so annoyed because despite the last season being unnecessary long and stretching that wedding weekend to a length that it should've never had, in the end I was actually invested in Barney and Robin being happy, so the creators throwing that investment into my face with that breakup still makes me mad.

[browneyedguuurl]

I still can’t believe people hated Ted (understandably) yet stanned Barney/Robin. He was horrible!

Marlena getting possessed by Satan on Days of Our Lives.

Every Reva storyline on Guiding Light.

Joey and Rachel dating on Friends

The Seven character on Married with Children

The whole last season of the Nanny

[iluvpans]

Marlena getting possessed was fricking legendary! I remember my granny and mom watched this and I was shocked. Hell, the burying of that one woman by Vivian? Do you know how many Barbies I buried in the backyard while repeating that storyline?

[svexsal]

Vivian buried Carly because she was on herbs from Dr. Woo.
That was the shit!

[iluvpans]

I'm going to be honest. I didn't know Vivan did it because she was high(?) or something. I just remember her watching the girl on a camera and pretending to do the same to my Barbies.

[yuzuruhanyu]

tbh olivia getting kidnapped was just the batshit storyline that fit in when scandal was still good and also olivia's trauma and how she dealt with it made a more compelling storyline before she start running off back to fitz

imo the only storyline that shouldn't have happened was fitz surviving the assassination attempt

[chllschse]

Fitz was never the problem on Scandal neither were Olivia and Fitz. The problem was B613 and Shonda feeling the need to have Olivia go back and forth between Fitz and Jake when she should have dropped both like hot potatoes, got therapy and dealt with her issues, and went back to being the kick ass Olivia Pope of the first two seasons. Shonda turned Scandal into the Mellie, Papa Pope, and B613 show and made Olivia a supporting character to the actual supporting characters.

[analievelyn]

b613 was exciting at first but needed to be wrapped up way sooner than it was.

[chllschse]

Agreed! It just took over the whole damn show. That and Mellie suddenly being qualified to be President by virtue of being married to and then being “wronged” by Fitz. I swear that show turned into some white woman’s fantasy and it was not what I signed up for.
