What she said.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That wasn't the worst clip show I've ever seen. I am a little surprised that clip shows are still a thing.

clip shows are a sure fire way to get me into a rage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still maintain they can be done well--Andromeda pulled off a doozy. It's not the format, it's the choices.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
in theory, in a world of possibilities, I suppose you are right. I did not watch Andromeda.
My previous statement stands. It is rage-making for me. Nothing worse than sitting down, looking forward to a new episode, and BAM.
This just happened to me 2 weeks ago when I had to catch up on "Once Upon A time" and I turn it on and they were doing a whole show about the making of the show with clips. This isn't "The Wire." Click.

Preach it, sister. If it hadn't been the season finale, I was tempted to skip the episode when I saw they were bringing him back.

I didn't watch much of this season because there were conflicts with DVRing it, but then there wasn't toward the end of the season. So, I decided to see how they were going to wrap up the Pellant thing, only to find out they didn't. Even Hodgins and Angela aren't good enough reasons to keep watching this show.
