I'm not talking about Dallas, Newhart or St elsewhere.
But there always seems to be an episode of every science fiction show I watch where the character in question starts hallucinating that they are either crazy and imagined everything or they are living a normal life that slowly falls apart while we know that this is not what is happening.
As it's never the finale of the show that this occurs on then we already know the ending and it almost never does anything to advance the plot, so instead of giving us an episode that advances the plot or even just does blah of the week we have to sit through these hallucinations that we know are fake rather than any actually interesting. The plot is unoriginal and I am sick of it. This week as soon I saw the start of the episode of SGU and realized the plot I got very upset and almost didn't watch.
For the record here's the list of shows I remember seeing this:
Doctor Who, (a couple different variations)
Voyager (with the doctor)
SG1 (the team is firefighters, or actually one or two others)
Charmed (insane asylum)
Buffy (insane asylum)
SG Atlantis (insane asylum)
Smallville (insane asylum)
SGU (just now, wedding)
Andromeda(family man)
and more I don't remember
I hate this plot and I know it's coming in every series I watch, can we just stop using it please.
