real cool and everything but you have
got the wrong guy like I’m Brent okay
number eight do a MacGyver MacGyver so
MacGyver has amnesia and amnesia is not
a permanent condition when most people
get shot and go through a glass window
they died since MacGyver lives by Action
Hero logic
he just gets amnesia what’s your name
I don’t know the resourceful secret
agent doesn’t remember who he is but his
instincts remain intact everything I’m
remembering is filled with explosions
and gunfights and I’m right in the
middle of them in a story full of
explosive twists and turns MacGyver uses
his best judgment to deduce who can be
trusted and who’s manipulating his
jumbled mind you know oh he’s my he’s
left he’s lost his memory well if you’ll
come along with me I’m trying to find it
can MacGyver trigger his memory before
the baddies trigger an explosive does a
Swiss Army knife solve all MacGyver’s
problems the answer to both is a
resounding yep MacGyver hold it
stay right there
I know you’ve got that Misha you don’t
know who I am do you
you’re Peter thorn you’re a killer
number seven thanks for the memory red
dwarf I’m recording me memory the entire
memory as the red dwarf crew wakes up to
find a jigsaw puzzle completed several
new puzzles land in their laps so
assembled foot sized monster came aboard
did a jigsaw drained our memories a
bring a couple of legs so walking in
Lister and cat have broken legs a
Godzilla sized footprint has been left
on a nearby moon and nobody has any
recollection of the past four days it’s
a well-documented phenomena they
kidnapped you give you a mind probe it
raise your memory and put you back okay
aliens came aboard without question is
it the worst hangover ever or has a
supernatural being tampered with their
heads full of witty interplay and
creativity their mission to unearth
those lost memories further amounts to a
surprisingly deep story regarding regret
missed opportunities and second chances
after death I don’t want this feeling
anymore I want my own memory back okay
okay okay number six spin the bottle
angel what land is this what lands is
supposed to be yes where do you hail
from friend I’m not your friend new
English Pig essentially Joss Whedon’s
interpretation of the Twilight zones
five characters in search of an exit
this bottle episode mentally reverts
angels principal cast to the age of 17 I
don’t even recognize the sound of my own
name angel is an irresponsible Irishman
from the 1700s
Cordelia’s the spoiled brat we love to
hate
Wesley’s head boy at the Watchers
Academy Gunn’s a rebel without a cause
and Fred turns out to be a paranoid
stoner
Oh Lauren spin-the-bottle demonstrates
that the Buffyverse slash angel verse is
about great character interactions above
all else does anyone here recognize
anyone whether these people are
developing or regressing they’re always
fun to listen to
like the corner of my bar number five
homecoming lost you sure there’s nothing
going on absolutely after Ethan
kidnapped the very pregnant Claire
viewers eagerly awaited her return and
answers hey Claire

this episode but since this is lost we
had to wait longer for answers as the
absent-minded Claire tries to refresh
her memory
Charlie tries to forget his past life
way Vitiello and having broken a woman’s
heart once before the recovering junkie
strives to prove to Claire and himself
that he can take care of her I just
wanted to take care of it I can take
care of myself
Charlie does exactly this and regains
Claire’s trust in an ending that’s a
sweet as peanut butter biscuit
I want to trust you number four fugue
and riffs Archer a bad idea according to
my clinical research on drug induced
amnesia said the fake scientist amnesia
plots are always more interesting when a
character doesn’t just forget their old
identity but assumes a new one – hi i’m
bob lana kane in sterling Archer’s case
he becomes Bob Belcher from Bob’s
Burgers and ingenious meta humor in
suits Bob is everything everything’s

a trip down memory lane after the KGB
attacks oh shit it could appear to die

doctor and the audience into confusion
as our hero wakes up in 1913 it’s Monday
November 10th 1913 and you’re completely

me now under the illusion that he’s a
bumbling scholar the doctor skilled
dreams of his actual life as a
time-traveling adventurer sometimes have
these strongly dreams

adventurer
it makes for a touching story in which
the Time Lord is given the chance to
fall in love and be human yeah – didn’t
you – come fall in love with a human it
wasn’t me as an invasion of the body
snatchers and the Scarecrow Snatchers
commences however Martha reminds the

misunderstandings as they cross paths

need our memories back we have to go to
a hospital tabula rasa is a testament to
