    And then for one, “yeah I like that show!”

    “Oh do you remember when x did y?”

    …No, I forgot everything that happened a week later.

      I’m so glad it isn’t just me. I’ve been concerned I might have memory issues because this happens in my life so much.

      For real, how do people remember such details from the shows they watch.

        Might just be interest. I can’t remember yesterday, but I remember every bit of Halo lore that I’ve read.

        I don’t even mean because it’s episodic, it just pops right back out of my brain. Just about to finish watching all of succession, an episode a day, and couldn’t tell you half of what happened unless you remind me.

        That’s the worst for me. If I binge it just goes into the big Binge Pot of Media Memories in my head. If I watch it daily or weekly, then I’m thinking about it and talking about it, ie interacting with the material, as it’s coming out.

        Reasonable for a 3 season show, completely insane for an 8 season one

        Did that with GoT and my brain melted from so much. You end up needing to take a break mid way through anyway, might as well just watch them when the season comes out and watch a recap
