See, this picture has multiple layers. At first you think it's just a person shying away from the camera because he or she hates the thought of it, but then you do some research and find out that the person in question is Regina Kay Walters, one of the victims of serial murderer Robert Ben Rhoades, known as the Truck Stop Killer, and that she was only 14 years old when she was slaughtered right after this picture was taken, and then you remember that it's not so funny anymore and that people like OP should probably just shoot themselves because all the "edginess" in the world won't win them the admiration of their disgusted parents and peers.

Yeah. How's that recapping working out for you, OP?

What are the opposite of these called? You know the big event eps with all the main characters and even some recurring ones all doing like a mad dash type storyline? One of the ones that springs to mind is Thundergun Express from Always Sunny.

Leave it to Beaver actually did this first- one of the first examples of a proper series finale. It made sense then though considering shows could be rerun over and over again in syndication.

Basically any Previous on for every show I've watched will ruin at least 50 percent of the episode you're about to watch. Which characters will be focused on, which characters will return, who will probably die, what plot points will be resolved, etc. Some dvd or streaming episodes will keep it out but not always. Previously on clips were invented for old people with bad memory and young kids with ADD.
