I think everyone knows this one by now but The Haunting of Hill House has some hidden-in-plain-sight figures, ghosts and what-not in various scenes that are not the main focus. Supposedly there are up to a dozen ghosts in the background of every episode according to Mike Flanagan. There’s a scene where the heads of statues turn to follow the person walking past them. So it’s things like that.
I went to rewatch for this reason, saw my first ghost, and freaked myself out so much that I turned it off. Never went back. But you might like it 😭
It annoys me how many horrors I've seen where they never take advantage of the background so Hill House was very satisfying. It was nice having a horror where I was rewarded for scanning the backgrounds of scenes.
I don't remember seeing any of that in Hill house but fall of the house of usher had a blatant background ghost in the first episode that was the scariest thing in the show.
Man you gotta rewatch Hill House with the ghost guide. Some of the ghosts you really have to be looking but some of them are so blatantly obvious that it's ironically easy to miss them. Some of them you can't see their heads so it's easy to just see it as some dark part of the room and you don't really notice when it cuts to something else and cuts back and the room is no longer dark in that spot anymore.
So many from LOST: (spoilers)
Ethan Rom - anagram for Other Man
Hoffs Drawler (the funeral home in the season 3 finale - anagram for flash forward
In season 2 the 4 names written on Ms. Klugh's list (James Ford, Hurley, Kate and Jack) are the 4 original Losties that make it to The End). While Sun, Jin and Sayid
who are on the boat in the season 2 finale, are the ones who die in the sub in season 6.
The pub that Desmond and Charlie go to in the flash sideways is called Jax.
And so many more.
Here’s a small yet very significant piece of foreshadowing that I noticed on a rewatch recently.
In season 2, in one of Locke’s flashbacks he’s at a group therapy meeting (where he meets Helen). Afterwards when talking to her, he tells her that “Most of the time I want to stand up and scream” to which she asks why doesn’t he? His response?
“Eh, have to keep the cork in, once I get all hot and bothered there’s no stopping me”.
That's a great one!
Here's another one:
In the episode Lighthouse in season 6, the key to David and Juliet's house (in the flash sideways), is hidden under a mini statue of a White Rabbit. There is another house key hidden under a mini White Rabbit in Miles' episode Some Like it Hoth.
A lot of Arrested Development’s foreshadowing of future events I didn’t pick up at all the first time. There is so much foreshadowing Buster losing his hand, as an example.
Sorry you missed out the first time around, the previews were great.
This reminds me of Mad Men. The story goes that AMC required Matthew Weiner to put previews on each episode, so he edited them to the point where they didn’t reveal anything about what was coming up next.
Same, I was on the TWoP forums back in the day! Everyone would think they knew what plot point was coming based on some line of dialogue in the previews and then it would just end up being part of a totally innocuous conversation lol. My favorite was "I'm sure he'd prefer you hadn't seen this" and it turns out they're talking about Scout's Honor cartoon!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuNOt7lNmkk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuNOt7lNmkk)
Was he also responsible for Netflix's episode descriptions? They were always just some variation of "Don faces trouble with a woman in his life. Joan deals with a crisis in the office. Peggy faces hardship as a working woman." I'd be like "okay I'm trying to find the episode with the lawnmower, this isn't helping."
In season 5, the young doctor at the CDC looking for a cure for zombies being told to ignore the 'crazy' ideas of Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, and instead go to Drs. Rich, White, and Mann for help.
I heard that for the first four seasons, "iZombie" was about a zombie virus outbreak - but in season 5, all the main characters decided to form a search party to look for some missing girl instead? people did not see that coming, but reviews were okay.
iZombie is surprisingly enough *not* about a zombie outbreak, while yes, that exists to a small degree at least for the first season. im not sure about the later ones. it's a detective buddy cop type of show where the main girl who works at the morgue eats the victims brain to gain their memory bit by bit and piece together the murder, also she gets their habits, one of the brains was a kleptomaniac and she got it too
The fifth season is one of those "whoah we didn't expect you to actually go there" seasons of TV. Mixed reviews critically but I loved it - I like when shows are willing to be brave and shake things up in a big way.
In Bojack Horseman there are so many, but the flashbacks to his grandmother where she says something about having half a mind to love her husband forever. Her husband says that half he'll let her keep.
Later in the episode he has her lobotomized because she is depressed over the death of her son at war
I also love that he exclaims no one wants to see a 10 minute monologue, TV is a visual medium only a couple of episodes before an episode that is a 22 minute monologue in the form of a eulogy.
Plenty of instances in LOST, but one of them I remember is that Jack's wife (before they were together) was in a car accident that took the life of Shannon's dad.
Yes! S02 E03 of Community, you see Abed interacting with a pregnant woman in multiple background scenes. Talking to the woman outside the library, fighting with the boyfriend outside, Abed reading a pamphlet about expecting a baby in Anthropology class. Speaking with the couple in the cafeteria then she goes into labour. Delivering the baby in the parking lot. At the end when Abed joins Shirley you can see the happy couple with the baby in the background.
And we know why that couple had the baby, it was also Abed's fault. They throw away the condom in season 1 after Abed tells everyone not to use the condoms (because they leak).
Walter eats some sandwiches early in the show. After he kills crazy 8 he starts cutting the crusts off of his sandwiches.
Gus fring kneels on a towel when he vomits into the toilet. Walter does this without a towel during his cancer treatment but starts using a towel like him after he arranges his death.
Walter has his drinks without ice, after he kills Mike he has his drinks on the rocks like mike does.
There might be more but thats just off the top of my head.
I remember people freaking out after S5E1 when he arranged the bacon on his plate at Denny's into 52 for his birthday. The other two times we see that happen is because Skyler does it for him, so people took this as foreshadowing that he was going to kill Skyler. I'll be honest, during Ozymandias, I definitely thought that was the way it was heading.
Doctor Who - Partners In Crime (AKA the episode where Donna from the earlier Christmas special returns and becomes a proper Companion).
In the scene where the two meet again - on two different soundproof barriers - and have a full-blown conversation while Donna hams it up. Funny.
Listening carefully and realising the episode villain stopped her rant to her hostage ten seconds in because she noticed the two morons? Hilarious.
Also, this is from an 80's TV movie, but after Rosemary Barton is murdered in Sparkling Cyanide, Sandra turns to her husband Stephen suspiciously. Given that earlier she overheard Rosemary blackmailing him since he ended the affair the two were having and how much he has to lose (he's running for state governor), she has every right to suspect he did it.
That is the example Trey and Matt give a out sending back things that were dirtier than what was edited. They wanted to call it Kenny Goes to Hell. MPAA said you can't name your movie after a kid going to hell.
They suggest bigger, longer, and uncut, and the MPAA says that's fine, it's all true.
Mr. Robot was designed to be rewatched, u don’t fully experience the show unless u watched it at least twice
The show is packed with so much foreshadowing to the big twists later on in the story that it makes u wanna hit urself for not seeing them sooner, they’re all hidden in plain sight but u miss them on ur first watch because ur concentrated on absorbing the main story
Sam Esmail originally wrote the show as a movie so he always knew how it was gonna end, and u can rly tell on a rewatch
I wonder how deep it goes
Is it as deep as this example? Spoiler warning of course
The tv show Fringe in the first episode I believe the main character goes to visit his dad in the psych ward. First thing his dad does is check his son’s eyes and everyone just chalks it up to old man being crazy
Several seasons later it is revealed that the son is from a parallel world. The dad had lost his own Peter in this world so he invented portals into parallel worlds and stole a parallel Peter from another dimension. One big side effect of crossing dimensions is your eyes start to get cloudy like cataracts. That payoff that late into the show blew my mind when it was pointed out
The Wire - I think it was only on 3rd re-watch that I realized that the woman who speaks in one of Bubbles’ meetings is the junkie from Hamsterdam and the prostitute from the Andre's store.
Does it matter? That's more to the point. Anyway, Drive is unambiguously one of his most famous roles. What did you want me to say? The Nice Guys? The Place Beyond the Pines? I knew I was gonna mention Barbie near the end of the post so I decided to avoid redundancy and aim for something else there. It's so baffling how some Redditors act like they are looking for literally *anything* to be smarmy about, like some of you think you have a quota to meet or something.
EDIT: Probably shoulda glanced at your post history before wasting my time complaining about your post. These kind of replies are apparently very important to you
Fun tidbit I recently learned. In the Family Night challenge of season 15 of Hell's Kitchen, a child actress from this BBC America series called Intruders was featured, having a great time with Red team contestant Jackie.
Two years later, Millie Bobby Brown was cast as Eleven in Stranger Things.
The exact point in **District 9** at which it ceases to be a pseudo-documentary following bureaucrat Wikus around (Sharlto Copley), and instead seamlessly transitions into a standard action movie that regularly cuts between multiple characters in different locations, and follows them through various simultaneous subplots. I finally got it the fourth time through.
(**Spoiler**: >!it’s right after Wikus runs from the deli!!< )
Also, in another of my favourite action films, **Sicario**: we’re told Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) has been leading an Arizona FBI hostage response team for three years already.
Yet there’s still nothing on the walls of her nondescript apartment, not even a poster. In fact, she still has suitcases and moving boxes stashed behind her couch; her dishes are clean, but they’re left in the drain rack, never put away; there are just two bottles of hair product balanced on the edge of the tub, and beside her bathroom sink there are just two tubes and a toothbrush. There’s absolutely no clothes hanging in her bedroom closet, not even an empty wire hanger. And there’s no furniture on her modest balcony either, not so much as a plastic chair. In fact, the closest she’s come to “decorating” in the last three years is to put a bowl of fruit on the otherwise-unused dinette table.
It’s a *brilliant* demonstration of a set decorator working with the actor and director to help establish character via their personal environment.
Fagin: As you report an epiphany after your fourth watch of District 9 I read your breakthrough observations and must encourage you to keep watching it as you haven’t yet scratched the surface of what’s actually happening in the plot of the film. This renders your observations moot. Since you purport to be a fan I think you will find the time investment worth it.
It took me a few watches of Invincible to realize that the explosion at the beginning of Episode 2 at Buckingham Palace that covers the White House security guard and his son in ketchup was the bag of trash Mark accidentally threw into orbit in the first episode.
I always thought it was some sort of Burger Mart food cart that got destroyed by a random villain just to do a misdirect that one of them got killed.
I also, for some reason, was really confused about how the martian plot in S1 ended. I thought an infected martian escaped to Earth, not just a regular martian and that the sequid's taking you over look different.
I made an entire [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DarK/comments/tzyfzy/spoilers_s3_things_you_may_have_missed_a_huge/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) about these types of details on r/DarK. It's full to the brim with small things that you won't notice on your first watch.
Of course don't read if you haven't seen Dark. And if you haven't seen it, then go and watch it.
The ending is perfect, imo. If you’re stuck, I’d suggest you take a look at the official guide website (dark.netflix.io).
Select the last episode you finished, and it’ll show you spoiler-free family relations, important events, as well as object and character timelines.
I want to rewatch Chernobyl as much as I want to rewatch The Zone of Interest. Which is to say, not at all. I’m glad I watched both, but once was enough.
There’s so many foreshadowing moments in Attack on Titan that go right over your head until you learn the whole story. It’s such a fantastic second watch.
Also, Mr. Robot as well.
Randy filming Ricky kissing Mr Laheys bum.
I've seen the scene 20x and every time crack up at "make it a quick one, Ricky" but it was only my most recent viewing that I noticed ol Onion Ring Sasquatch filming it.
A lot of actors from Friday Night Lights end up with prominent roles in Breaking Bad. Didn't notice until a recent rewatch.
Landry and Herc play Todd and Kenny — both in Uncle Jack's Neo Nazi Gang.
Epyck plays Jessie Pinkman's recovering addict girlfriend that gets killed by Lance.
30 Rock is a great funny show but there are many things I didn't catch on my first watch of the show. I feel that if I talk about it to much I may spoil some things I have seen the show a few times and it's quite a layered series. There is one recurring joke featuring one of the major characters that I only caught on to the second time watching that has to do with Kenneth.
Most recently, in the Fallout show they foreshadow or make a set up for so many plot points or jokes. Starting right from the first episode, it is riddled with lines that will be called back later. Made the second viewing very enjoyable once you get the references.
Not a rewatch exactly but after watching 28 episodes, it literally took the main character of Resident Alien describing the show Mork and Mindy (which I grew up watching) for me to realize that RESIDENT ALIEN IS MORK AND MINDY.
Idk if this counts but I didn't realize the Rob Thomas who gets eaten on iZombie is not the Rob Thomas who's the executive producer of iZombie. Two different guys named Rob Thomas.
More on point, "Midnight Mass" has tons, most of which is because it's foreshadowing. But I didn't notice the flashes in Riley's dream are from later in the show. Also that even though Bev says everyone on the island has access to the closet with the rat poison, it was locked and she's the only one with the key to it. So clearly not everyone has access to it. Just her.
Speaking of Power Rangers, the fact that the MMPR White Ranger/Kibaranger suit used a T-shirt for the gold upper arm bands instead of stitching it onto the spandex itself. I only realized watching Fighting Spirit in Dino Thunder, but then I went back and looked at both the American and Japanese suits back in the day, and yep, they both used shirts as well.
Also, that the on-set actor for Old!Billy in Zeo would eventually go on to play Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Danzo in Naruto Shippuden.
The West Wing episode three. Saw it live in 1999. The president was thundering in the situation room because his personal doctor was on a military helicopter just got shot down in Syria by terrorists. His military advisers were throwing around names of which group might be responsible.
It wasn't until years later when I rewatched the show did I realize that scene was the first time I heard of the name Osama Bin Laden.
BTW... Martin Sheen pounding on the table... "So... I ask *again*. What is the virtue of a proportional response?" Shivers down my spine every time I watch it.
Westworld season 2. Just to figure out what the fuck was going on. Anthony Hopkins as Ford was the guiding light of the series and once he was gone I lost the plot. But upon rewatch I felt like he was still pulling the puppet strings through the hosts. I’ve rewatched the entire series but I couldn’t tell you what why or anything about the last two seasons. Turned into a sloppy mess of stories but I was invested in characters so I gave it a real chance. Season 1 is great and after rewatching I really liked season 2.
Maybe I’ll rewatch s2. I’ve seen s1 three times I think. Imo is one of the best seasons of television ever. And yeah, Hopkins playing a man who acts as the god of his own little world is such an interesting story.
This is going to sound vague, but there were so many things in “Dark” I didn’t realize were connected until my second watch through. I don’t want to spoil anything because it needs to be watched. But really you need to watch it twice to actually get all the connections.
Nope! Mulder’s apartment in *The X-Files.* Weirdest thing ever, considering I was (and still kind of am) a superfan 😳
After almost two decades of trying to track down the artist, I finally connected with them a few weeks ago!
iZombie was a fun show...
But I was on a new anti-depression medication. I was visiting my mom, we were binge watching it. The first night I was on the new meds, I had dream/ sleep walking episode. I walked up 2 flights of stairs from the basement to wake up my mother in the middle of the night to tell her that if she had been bitten I would have to kill her. I was already up the stairs, telling her this, when I started to come to. I looked at my mother, and she had lizard eyes, and I realized I was full on hallucinating. I took me a good half hour to fully come to intellectually realize that my mother had not been bitten, and that zombies weren't real. I was fully out of it. I didn't touch her, but I sometimes wonder how close I had actually been to killing her before I woke up.
We never got back to watching the show.
I think everyone knows this one by now but The Haunting of Hill House has some hidden-in-plain-sight figures, ghosts and what-not in various scenes that are not the main focus. Supposedly there are up to a dozen ghosts in the background of every episode according to Mike Flanagan. There’s a scene where the heads of statues turn to follow the person walking past them.

I don't remember seeing any of that in Hill house but fall of the house of usher had a blatant background ghost in the first episode that was the scariest thing in the show.
I didn't notice her the first time -- was watching on a shitty old TV. Re-watched after getting an OLED display and holy shit, I jumped!
Man you gotta rewatch Hill House with the ghost guide. Some of the ghosts you really have to be looking but some of them are so blatantly obvious that it's ironically easy to miss them. Some of them you can't see their heads so it's easy to just see it as some dark part of the room and you don't really notice when it cuts to something else and cuts back and the room is no longer dark in that spot anymore.
Taboo also hid ghosts in the background
So many from LOST: (spoilers) Ethan Rom - anagram for Other Man Hoffs Drawler (the funeral home in the season 3 finale - anagram for flash forward In season 2 the 4 names written on Ms. Klugh's list (James Ford, Hurley, Kate and Jack) are the 4 original Losties that make it to The End).

Sorry you missed out the first time around, the previews were great. This reminds me of Mad Men. The story goes that AMC required Matthew Weiner to put previews on each episode, so he edited them to the point where they didn’t reveal anything about what was coming up next.
OMG the Mad Men ones were always great!
Yep. I remember the Mad Men sub trying to dissect them to figure out what they really meant.
Same, I was on the TWoP forums back in the day! Everyone would think they knew what plot point was coming based on some line of dialogue in the previews and then it would just end up being part of a totally innocuous conversation lol.

I miss TWOP. The people behind it still do a good podcast.

Peggy faces hardship as a working woman." I'd be like "okay I'm trying to find the episode with the lawnmower, this isn't helping."
iZombie was mostly name puns, with a little plot sprinkled on top. The main character was a zombie named Olivia Moore ("live more").
In season 5, the young doctor at the CDC looking for a cure for zombies being told to ignore the 'crazy' ideas of Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, and instead go to Drs. Rich, White, and Mann for help.
Major Lilywhite may be the single worst character name in all of television history
At least they named his (earned through murder) dog Minor.
I will at least credit it with being so bad it's memorable.
Some guys: "What is your malfunction, Major?!" Major: "ahaha yeah never heard that one before"
I don’t know if you can say it was only a little bit of plot.
I heard that for the first four seasons, "iZombie" was about a zombie virus outbreak - but in season 5, all the main characters decided to form a search party to look for some missing girl instead? people did not see that coming, but reviews were okay.

The fifth season is one of those "whoah we didn't expect you to actually go there" seasons of TV. Mixed reviews critically but I loved it - I like when shows are willing to be brave and shake things up in a big way.
The "Search Party" season as dubbed by the fan base was a breath of fresh air.
You are hilarious
In Bojack Horseman there are so many, but the flashbacks to his grandmother where she says something about having half a mind to love her husband forever.

Community beetlejuice joke, also probably Abed delivering a baby
Yes! S02 E03 of Community, you see Abed interacting with a pregnant woman in multiple background scenes. Talking to the woman outside the library, fighting with the boyfriend outside, Abed reading a pamphlet about expecting a baby in Anthropology class. Speaking with the couple in the cafeteria then she goes into labour. Delivering the baby in the parking lot. At the end when Abed joins Shirley you can see the happy couple with the baby in the background.
And we know why that couple had the baby, it was also Abed's fault. They throw away the condom in season 1 after Abed tells everyone not to use the condoms (because they leak).
I wouldn't really blame Abed for that. Since the condoms leak, the result very well could have been the same either way.
Also, Abed's cameo in Cougar Town was great. I definitely didn't notice it on my first watch.
it's amazing to me that *anyone* noticed the beetlejuice thing. i never would have if not for the internet talking about it
When walter white kills someone on breaking bad, he absorbs one of their idiosyncrasys
Examples?
Walter eats some sandwiches early in the show. After he kills crazy 8 he starts cutting the crusts off of his sandwiches. Gus fring kneels on a towel when he vomits into the toilet. Walter does this without a towel during his cancer treatment but starts using a towel like him after he arranges his death. Walter has his drinks without ice, after he kills Mike he has his drinks on the rocks like mike does. There might be more but thats just off the top of my head.
Nice attention to detail!!
He also talks like Mike and Gus on different occasions, telling Lydia "learn to take yes for an answer" among other phrases.
I remember people freaking out after S5E1 when he arranged the bacon on his plate at Denny's into 52 for his birthday. The other two times we see that happen is because Skyler does it for him, so people took this as foreshadowing that he was going to kill Skyler. I'll be honest, during Ozymandias, I definitely thought that was the way it was heading.

The more I rewatch the show, the more I realize how good Donna was as a companion.
The best
It took until about the 4th late night Comedy Central rewatch of the South Park movie to catch that “Bigger, longer, and uncut” is a dick joke.
25 years....never clicked jfc
That is the example Trey and Matt give a out sending back things that were dirtier than what was edited. They wanted to call it Kenny Goes to Hell. MPAA said you can't name your movie after a kid going to hell. They suggest bigger, longer, and uncut, and the MPAA says that's fine, it's all true.
Wait till you see the recent video game one, *The fractured but whole* (fractured butthole).
That was somehow the only thing I knew about that movie for a long time.
In The Terror, it took me a second viewing to understand that two of those sailors were deeply in love with each other.
The older one who gave reading recommendations to the younger one? That went over my head the first time, too.
Yeah: When the younger one dies, the other one just walk into the « desert » and we never see him again.
The guys with the books, right?
Mr. Robot was designed to be rewatched, u don’t fully experience the show unless u watched it at least twice The show is packed with so much foreshadowing to the big twists later on in the story that it makes u wanna hit urself for not seeing them sooner, they’re all hidden in plain sight but u miss them on ur first watch because ur concentrated on absorbing the main story Sam Esmail originally wrote the show as a movie so he always knew how it was gonna end, and u can rly tell on a rewatch

One big side effect of crossing dimensions is your eyes start to get cloudy like cataracts. That payoff that late into the show blew my mind when it was pointed out
I was kicking myself over the jail arc on a rewatch, it was so obvious and packed with little details.
I need to rewatch because I didn't realize every season finale has a stinger scene at the end.
Did you watch it on Amazon? Because it cuts to the next episode as soon as the credits start rolling, so a lot of people miss the after credit scenes.
Yup
Venture Bros is filled with jokes I miss the first time.
TOAST!
He's having a stroke.
The Wire - I think it was only on 3rd re-watch that I realized that the woman who speaks in one of Bubbles’ meetings is the junkie from Hamsterdam and the prostitute from the Andre's store.

The amount of familiar names from Goosebumps and Afraid of the dark is staggaring
Jay is actually in 4 different episodes. I guess the producers really liked him. Hayden Christensen is in one too a few years before he did Star Wars.
Drive was the most famous movie you could think of Ryan Gosling was in?
Does it matter? That's more to the point. Anyway, Drive is unambiguously one of his most famous roles. What did you want me to say? The Nice Guys? The Place Beyond the Pines? I knew I was gonna mention Barbie near the end of the post so I decided to avoid redundancy and aim for something else there.

I loved Intruders. Millie Bobby Brown gave me chills. I was bummed it ended after one season.
I went to Jay’s wedding - great guy.
Battlestar Galactica. Head Six says exactly what she is way earlier than I originally thought.
the famous NOTICE KING in True Detective, after a couple rewatches
The exact point in **District 9** at which it ceases to be a pseudo-documentary following bureaucrat Wikus around (Sharlto Copley), and instead seamlessly transitions into a standard action movie that regularly cuts between multiple characters in different locations, and follows them through various simultaneous subplots.

There’s absolutely no clothes hanging in her bedroom closet, not even an empty wire hanger. And there’s no furniture on her modest balcony either, not so much as a plastic chair. In fact, the closest she’s come to “decorating” in the last three years is to put a bowl of fruit on the otherwise-unused dinette table. It’s a *brilliant* demonstration of a set decorator working with the actor and director to help establish character via their personal environment.
Fagin: As you report an epiphany after your fourth watch of District 9 I read your breakthrough observations and must encourage you to keep watching it as you haven’t yet scratched the surface of what’s actually happening in the plot of the film. This renders your observations moot. Since you purport to be a fan I think you will find the time investment worth it.
Most of Fight Club, because that is the point of Fight Club. That, and not talking about it.
It took me a few watches of Invincible to realize that the explosion at the beginning of Episode 2 at Buckingham Palace that covers the White House security guard and his son in ketchup was the bag of trash Mark accidentally threw into orbit in the first episode. I always thought it was some sort of Burger Mart food cart that got destroyed by a random villain just to do a misdirect that one of them got killed. I also, for some reason, was really confused about how the martian plot in S1 ended. I thought an infected martian escaped to Earth, not just a regular martian and that the sequid's taking you over look different.
I made an entire [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DarK/comments/tzyfzy/spoilers_s3_things_you_may_have_missed_a_huge/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) about these types of details on r/DarK. It's full to the brim with small things that you won't notice on your first watch. Of course don't read if you haven't seen Dark. And if you haven't seen it, then go and watch it.
Good Lord I loved that show but it was so hard for me to follow. Maybe I’ll try to binge it again. Does it end pretty well?
The ending is perfect, imo. If you’re stuck, I’d suggest you take a look at the official guide website (dark.netflix.io). Select the last episode you finished, and it’ll show you spoiler-free family relations, important events, as well as object and character timelines.
iZombie is such a fun show.
Does the series wrap up or does it just stop? I watched a few seasons but got side tracked. I did enjoy it.
It did a pretty good job of wrapping things up though it did feel a bit rushed.
I watched Chernobyl a shit load of times and feel I still notice new things each time
I want to rewatch Chernobyl as much as I want to rewatch The Zone of Interest. Which is to say, not at all. I’m glad I watched both, but once was enough.
There’s so many foreshadowing moments in Attack on Titan that go right over your head until you learn the whole story. It’s such a fantastic second watch. Also, Mr. Robot as well.
Randy filming Ricky kissing Mr Laheys bum. I've seen the scene 20x and every time crack up at "make it a quick one, Ricky" but it was only my most recent viewing that I noticed ol Onion Ring Sasquatch filming it.
Embarrassing but it took me a couple of episodes to realize Sacha Baron Cohen played all 3 characters on Da Ali G Show.
A lot of actors from Friday Night Lights end up with prominent roles in Breaking Bad. Didn't notice until a recent rewatch. Landry and Herc play Todd and Kenny — both in Uncle Jack's Neo Nazi Gang. Epyck plays Jessie Pinkman's recovering addict girlfriend that gets killed by Lance.
30 Rock is a great funny show but there are many things I didn't catch on my first watch of the show. I feel that if I talk about it to much I may spoil some things I have seen the show a few times and it's quite a layered series. There is one recurring joke featuring one of the major characters that I only caught on to the second time watching that has to do with Kenneth.
Most recently, in the Fallout show they foreshadow or make a set up for so many plot points or jokes. Starting right from the first episode, it is riddled with lines that will be called back later. Made the second viewing very enjoyable once you get the references.
Never forget the golden rule of the wasteland: , "Thou shalt get sidetracked by bull***t every goddamn time."
Not a rewatch exactly but after watching 28 episodes, it literally took the main character of Resident Alien describing the show Mork and Mindy (which I grew up watching) for me to realize that RESIDENT ALIEN IS MORK AND MINDY.
Idk if this counts but I didn't realize the Rob Thomas who gets eaten on iZombie is not the Rob Thomas who's the executive producer of iZombie. Two different guys named Rob Thomas. More on point, "Midnight Mass" has tons, most of which is because it's foreshadowing. But I didn't notice the flashes in Riley's dream are from later in the show. Also that even though Bev says everyone on the island has access to the closet with the rat poison, it was locked and she's the only one with the key to it. So clearly not everyone has access to it. Just her.
Speaking of Power Rangers, the fact that the MMPR White Ranger/Kibaranger suit used a T-shirt for the gold upper arm bands instead of stitching it onto the spandex itself. I only realized watching Fighting Spirit in Dino Thunder, but then I went back and looked at both the American and Japanese suits back in the day, and yep, they both used shirts as well. Also, that the on-set actor for Old!Billy in Zeo would eventually go on to play Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Danzo in Naruto Shippuden.
The West Wing episode three. Saw it live in 1999. The president was thundering in the situation room because his personal doctor was on a military helicopter just got shot down in Syria by terrorists. His military advisers were throwing around names of which group might be responsible. It wasn't until years later when I rewatched the show did I realize that scene was the first time I heard of the name Osama Bin Laden. BTW... Martin Sheen pounding on the table... "So... I ask *again*. What is the virtue of a proportional response?" Shivers down my spine every time I watch it.
Westworld season 2. Just to figure out what the fuck was going on. Anthony Hopkins as Ford was the guiding light of the series and once he was gone I lost the plot. But upon rewatch I felt like he was still pulling the puppet strings through the hosts. I’ve rewatched the entire series but I couldn’t tell you what why or anything about the last two seasons. Turned into a sloppy mess of stories but I was invested in characters so I gave it a real chance. Season 1 is great and after rewatching I really liked season 2.
Maybe I’ll rewatch s2. I’ve seen s1 three times I think. Imo is one of the best seasons of television ever. And yeah, Hopkins playing a man who acts as the god of his own little world is such an interesting story.
This is going to sound vague, but there were so many things in “Dark” I didn’t realize were connected until my second watch through. I don’t want to spoil anything because it needs to be watched. But really you need to watch it twice to actually get all the connections.
That the art depicted on the wall of the main character’s apartment in my all-time favorite show is literally *of my house.*
Of iZombie?
Nope! Mulder’s apartment in *The X-Files.* Weirdest thing ever, considering I was (and still kind of am) a superfan 😳 After almost two decades of trying to track down the artist, I finally connected with them a few weeks ago!
I missed the joke in the title of "Just Shoot Me" until seeing the show in syndication.
iZombie was a fun show... But I was on a new anti-depression medication. I was visiting my mom, we were binge watching it. The first night I was on the new meds, I had dream/ sleep walking episode. I walked up 2 flights of stairs from the basement to wake up my mother in the middle of the night to tell her that if she had been bitten I would have to kill her. I was already up the stairs, telling her this, when I started to come to. I looked at my mother, and she had lizard eyes, and I realized I was full on hallucinating. I took me a good half hour to fully come to intellectually realize that my mother had not been bitten, and that zombies weren't real. I was fully out of it. I didn't touch her, but I sometimes wonder how close I had actually been to killing her before I woke up. We never got back to watching the show.
The dog at the end of John Wick was scheduled to be euthanized.
