A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

You're actually slipping through the veneer of realities as the show goes on.
Unless the plot hole is within the episode?
Then each scene will be its own timeline.
I camt think of a good example, but im sure with bad enough writing/shooting there could be a plothole within a scene as well. Subdividing further would get very meta :)
What about mid season 2 part episodes?
I think Stargate did this at the end of the 8th season. Travel back in time to get an artefact, accidentally case a time shift, then spend the next episode fixing the timeline.
