    I use a 43" 4K TV as a monitor (essentially 4 1080 monitors) and I often watch stuff on this screen. I end up watching stuff in 3 or 4 sessions because of these rabbit hole quests.

      Once I showed the movie Gattaca to some friends who had never seen it. All of us had comments to make about it and every time anyone talked I paused the movie so people could make their observations, ask their questions, etc.

      A bit later after several pauses my wife said “we’ve been watching this movie for 45 minutes and we’re only 10 minutes into it.”

    Wikipedia? Nah. IMDB. Incredibly useful for specific episodes of a series as I can isolate that episode of needed. And the answer is always Law and Order.

      IMDb used to be way better. I just honestly cannot stand the interface anymore, so I usually just go to wiki instead.

        yeah I can’t remember the last time I actually read something on IMDB

        I end up there sometimes, realize that I have basically no clue what the web page is trying to show me because it’s covered in a bunch of other crap, and then just back out and leave and go somewhere that actually shows me the information.

    “Honey, that guy over there, where do we know him from? Come on he looks so familiar!”

    5 minutes of back n forth, to eventually looking it up

    It’s, again, Star Trek.

    Holy shit, I do this all of the time! Most movie plots follow the same patterns anyway, so a lot of the time, the production process is more interesting to me anyway!

      You need to find some better more interesting movies to watch! If your board of the 3 act structure (which 99.99% of western movies follow) other cultures make other kinds of movies.
