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.
  
  One the upside, you can watch a show all over again like it's the first time!
- That's why you wait until it finish airing and then marathon the whole thing.
  
  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.
  
  You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs.
  
  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
  
  Then you can do it one season at a time..
  
  Well, sure, but that's why you read GoT and don't watch it. Also, bad endings and all that.
