Every tv show should come with an option to explain who everyone is, what they previously did, and what happened in the past, in case you forgot. Because I always forget.
If some bloke walks into the scene and the main character suddenly looks unhappy, I want to be able to click a button and it says 'this is Bob, the main character's ex-husband, who had an affair in s01e03. As a direct result of this, the main character was in a car crash which led to the death of a harmless old lady and a secret crack addiction.'
@RolloTreadway I really feel it’s far too much when they expect us to remember these things from one season to the next. A year has passed!
@RolloTreadway Ooh, like the old Ceefax, but instead of pushing the red button, maybe the blue one instead!
@RolloTreadway Yes!!!
Web comics, too. (Some authors provide this in the comments, glory upon them.)
@RolloTreadway Audio description usually names everybody, if that helps. Some people find that the naming alone is enough to fill in the other gaps. @KaraLG84
@RolloTreadway this, but for real life!!!
@patrickhadfield @RolloTreadway Tool tips IRL. Maybe Google Glass would have been helpful for something.
@RolloTreadway I'm the same. I started episode 2 of for all Mankind and already forgot who one of the characters is.
@RolloTreadway Yes! I am often annoyed by recaps, "Oh I remember all that!" but as soon as someone refers to an absent character by name, I am lost.
@RolloTreadway @fruining die functie heet toch gewoon Roan?
