Transformers. Is "energon" a crystal, a liquid, or something more nebulous? Are Primus and Unicron one being? Did the Quintessons create the Transformers? Where do the Go-Bots fit in?

And don't get me started on the Allspark vs. Vector Sigma...

Oh hey Willis, good to see you on the fediverse. How's the buffer doing?

Futurama freely makes shit up. They'll invent new math theorems to make a body-swap episode work, but if their cool new backstory for Bender contradicts canon, they do not give a dang.

It's not the worst plot hole, because it doesn't affect the extremely episodic show. They're just willfully apathetic toward consistency.

1899 on Netflix.

Every episode had some big in-universe mechanic reveal which made pretty much every action taken by characters before that even MORE nonsensical.

It just kept getting worse and worse as events cascades into each other.

I always thought the problem with 1899 was that it was missold.

I wanted a genuine set in the early 20th century nautical mystery horror.

Instead it was "it's all just VR" and you discover that early on, and then you just flatout loses interest knowing the people in it can't really get hurt or they're not actually people.

After the first 3 episodes, this was my reaction to any choice any character ever made

Doctor Who. Or is that Dr. Who.

  • He is sometimes a She.
  • He is an alien of the race Time Lord. Except when he’s half-human.
  • The most recent run was Season 2. Or Season 15. Or Series 41.
  • The Doctor has reincarnated 15 times. Or 17. Or 18. Or 19. Or 20. Or 28.
  • Continuity is just what the writer of the current episode remembers / is convenient.
  • The only rule is: There is no such thing as canon.

Golden Girls.

How many siblings did they all have?!?

I don't know if anime is allowed, but Dragon Ball Z is pretty bad.

I thought people consistently get more powerful
