Ever Watched A TV Episode That Pissed You Off So Much You Quit Watching The Series?
- Thread starter Soviet Heavy
- Start date
for me
Lost - beginning of season 2 i was getting angry, for every question they answered another 10 would pop up. ( what happened to the dinosaur/ monster that was making the load roaring sound?)
Gundam wing ( dubbed) - i watched the first 4 episodes of season 1 and i had and still have no idea what the hell is going on why are they fighting and considering there on moon/space stations that get their materials from earth why is the earth supplying the materials to make these transformer like things?
CSI (all of them) -at the beginning CSI was good it was new and fresh from other US crime programs, then about season 3 there all started to go way over then top then looking for evidence, for example there was one scene they identified a person face from an cheap security camera ( not a digital one) which was very pixelated by using the reflection of a person sunglasses. Also when they are at a fresh crime scene or are the morgue am I the only one thinking wait a minute they are at a crime scene thinking if a just wear gloves im not contaminating the scene or the murder victim by leaving my foot prints and hair everywhere.
The Office and the Office USA - watched two episodes did not think it funny
Pokemon - After misty left I thought OK I give pokemon a another chance but when 150 became 250+ i said to myself nope im done after stating numerous times in the first 2-3 seasons and 3 games that there only 150 pokemon in the whole world and now what is there 600+ nope i was done watcing it.

The Big Bang Theory. Hard to pick a specific moment, but probably the costume party episode where everybody comes in dressed like the Flash. It didn't piss me off, but it was a bit of an epiphany for me. It was almost like the writers knew what nerds were... they possibly even have seen a couple in the street, but they don't quite understand what makes them work. It's really poking fun at nerds from an outside standpoint than actually being a nerd comedy and that unsettles me.

It made sense in its own way. To me, personally, I find that it's like Grand Theft Auto the TV show. It's funny and in its own way a sandbox for these bikers. Just add the classic HUD for GTA games and there you go.
The most instant drop interest for me form just one episode was form Misfits. They had lost a lot in the 3rd season, no more Nathan, new super powers they have nothing to do with their character flaws like before, jumping the shark with cookie cutter quirkiness by having do things like fighting Nazi's. Then they had an episode where one of the charaters, Curtis, impregnates himself via gender swapping masturbation and spend the whole episode debating weather or he should have an abortion. I realized at that point that it was no longer a show about flawed characters suddenly having super powers to just trying to hard to be weird and quirky, the preview for the next episode being about zombie cheerleaders only confirmed this.
just out of curousity why is this stopping you from watching. I dont think anyone realistically things ash is going ot catch ever pokemon since he's always passing up oppurtunities. and the idea of him always losing at leagues (except orange island and battle frontier) makes him a perpetual underdog kids can root for.dragonflygirl said:
I mean, its not like the show was really going to stick to kanto forever. its hard to bum around a place like that for multiple seasons when your trainer is honestly a pretty piss poor one.
I could be wrong, but I think the premise was that the universe always continues on the same path, so when the new one was created the people in it were the same as before, everything that had already happened before they left had happened again. Not to mention no one would have known about the original Leela, except for Fry and even then him coming back made it so Leela wouldn't have the same life as before.Johny_X2 said:
Just once...it was after like the 13th episode of Firefly, and I just thought "This is just awful...I don't think I can watch any more of this!" Terrible characters, the script was painfully un-funny, the plot was all over the shop....some guy called Jayne?? It was too much!
It upset me so much that I wrote a letter to Fox to voice my opinion and it turns out that a lot of people felt the same...
(Even joking and I've upset myself!!)

The ending of Chuck is very bittersweet, for what is almost universally a very upbeat show. On the other hand, I think that actually gives it more weight than a "happily ever after" ending would have done. And additionally, I think that it really was a satisfying plot resolution at the same time.Megalodon said:
I agree though, Chuck could have ended quite easily at the end of any one of the first three seasons, and at a number of points in between.
Yeah, pretty much. If ever there was a half-baked attempt to prolong an excellent series well past its sell-by-date, this was it. And until that point, it really was one of the best shows I have ever watched.KefkaCultist said:
The show needed to end with Light or L dying. It didn't really matter which, but one of them had to triumph. The whole first season, the credits, the theme tune, everything, set it up as a contest between two brilliant minds. The credits change at about the same point as the focus shifts, because the entire show has to change its focus - and it simply wasnt as good. At that point it became about twisting the plot to the point where Light could be caught, rather than the Light/L contest which had been so excellently portrayed up until that point.
You sir are either lucky, a genius, or both.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
Mainly because the series only get worse from there. Least in the beginning there was potential for it to get better, but instead they just kept finding new ways to keep going downhill. There was some cool moments but overall you saved yourself a lot of frustration. Nice job.
Although if you liked Seed's music check out the Destiny's OST(easily found on youtube), at the very least they still had some great songs there.
When they killed Tony Almeida. I watched the first few minutes of the following ep to see if he was indeed dead (which he was, at the time anyway). And then I promptly walked out on it. I was tired of 24 anyway, walking on Tony's "death" (he resurrected a few seasons later) was as good an excuse as any other.
If you don't mind, I'll give you some character based, story-driven stuff.Hagi said:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Love Hina (invented a few stereotypes)
Azumanga Daioh
Silver Spoon
Bakuman
Good Ending (it gets really dumb around the middle)
Give these a try. I'd recommend reading Love Hina and Bakuman instead of watching the anime. Good Ending and Silver Spoon are only manga at the moment, neither of which are licensed in English yet.
You're going to burn in a very special level of hell.laraghboy said:Just once...it was after like the 13th episode of Firefly, and I just thought "This is just awful...I don't think I can watch any more of this!"

I recently stopped watching Code Geass after a few episodes of season 2. Maybe I'll get back into it, but the sudden fanservice feels really unneccessary.
Ps:
I know... It's all part of the plan! Ya see, the Fox execs who canceled it will be in there with me, and then.....REVENGE!!Sewa_Yunga said:You're going to burn in a very special level of hell.laraghboy said:Just once...it was after like the 13th episode of Firefly, and I just thought "This is just awful...I don't think I can watch any more of this!"

Dear god I hated Mortis. It was an excuse to rip off Avatar's art direction and threw out any subtlety the Force had left. The Force, in its barest form, is there to drive the plot, the "will of the force" is fate, pushing characters towards their destiny. From there, it can be interpreted in any way you want. But Mortis comes and fucks it all up by making the Father, Son, and Daughter bullshit, complete with Sam Witwer's awful voice acting.teebeeohh said:
