How much did it bother you?

It's been years and I will never not think about Peter leaving his girlfriend in the future on "Heroes." Years, and not one single comment about WTF happened to her after he changed the timeline. (I'm laughing just thinking about it again. I didn't care for the character that much, it was just SO bizarre.)

Same. I didn't like that storyline but the way it basically just poofed into thin air bugged me for the rest of the series run. I remember reading something where the writers basically admitted they were never going back to it and it actually annoyed me so much, sorry if you guys hate the shit you wrote but it's even worse writing to just go 'la la la I can't hear you' on a storyline you spent half a season of setting up.

Nick Stokes got kidnapped and tortured on CSI. It didn't seem to affect anyone afterwards.

Was that when he got buried alive? That part terrified me as a teen. :(

Yeah. D=

he got bitten about a zillion times by fire ants and he didn't get scars? I have scars from bedbug bites a few years ago and fire ant bites are LOTS worse! and he doesn't have major claustrophobia issues? the HELL??!

Ants don't bite. They sting.

Also, my mom pissed on a fire ant hill when she was a kid and the colony mobilized, but she had no scars.

Those episodes were so weird and awful I figured they were trying to forget about them, LOL.

Ha. I'm a huge fan of Warren Ellis.

A few years ago he had a whole bunch of comics I was just in love with... Then his laptop shit the bed. He didn't have any backups, and as such has never been back to finish Anna Mercury, Switchblade Honey, Desolation Jones, and Ignition City. He got so disheartened by losing all that work he's just plain scrapped them all. Some of them ended at the end of an arc and just wont be getting sequels. Others Just dropped dead mid-story.

And since they're all his creator own works, and he is of course protective over his IP (Comics industry will fuck you if you're not) he's not letting anyone else pick them up. He'll never work them, no-one else will ever work them, they just *Blip* died where they fell.

I am HEARTBROKEN by this. They were fantastic works, and I dearly want more.

I don't think "abandoned" is quite the term for it, but it always drove me crazy that there was almost no emotional follow-through for anything that happened in The X-Files.

Mulder would seem to have an emotional breakthrough regarding his horrible childhood and his missing sister...and then the writers would just walk it all back the next time they decided Mulder needed some angst.

And Scully was constantly suffering all sorts of horrifying violations, only to have the next episode barely even acknowledge any of the things that were done to her.

I realize that this sort of continuity fail was fairly standard for mid 90's TV, but still, it's frustrating.

I agree with this. At the time I thought it was so deep and emotional, but although I still love it, watching it back I'm like "Really Mulder? You JUST found Samantha and she turned out to be a clone and now you're never even going to mention it again?"

Yeah, I mean, The X-Files is probably my deepest fandom love to date (though not my current main fandom), and there are a ton of things I love about it. But oh boy it wasn't even in the ballpark of flawless.

I do give it a bit more of a pass on some of that stuff though, because you can chalk a lot of it up to a case of TV In The 90s. I didn't watch it when it was airing (a bit too young for that), but to my recollection, one of the things that was praised about it was how much more complex it was than most shows, and how much inter-seasonal continuity there was. Lol.

On Two and a Half Men, there was this subplot where Alan thought he was the father of Judith’s kid and it never really went anywhere. Unless it went somewhere when Walden was introduced.

In Frozen, the whole plot point about Anna’s memories felt as if it was dropped a third into the movie. It bothers the fuck out of me because it seemed like an important thing and it’s never really brought up again. I hate it when writers do that shit.

Also, the whole fucking arc of the GS ball in Pokemon amounted to nothing and the team apparently wanted viewers to just quietly forget about it...

Fucking hell, it grinds my gears when things that seem important just kinda fizzle out.
