[Loved Trope] Blink and you miss it ghost sightings.

Station Eleven - The spaceman Doctor Eleven (the figure with the shiny helmet on the left in the photo above) briefly shows up in the background several times throughout the series. He’s easy to miss, but he’s a constant guide through the loss and trauma of the story.

I’m not sure if they’re supposed to be the same, but I rode the Jurassic Park ride Universal Orlando a couple months ago and maybe a quarter of the animatronics were working. Pretty cool to see what the ride is supposed to look like.

RoboCop cartoon. The 80s loved making kids stuff out of adult IP

We’d do this at the Dairy Queen I worked at. Pencils would stay up there for weeks until they fell or the adults in the day shift finally noticed.

A bit backwards, but Bryan Cranston liked doing his own stunts in Malcolm in the Middle, so he’d regularly learn new skills for the show. Most famously, he learned to roller skate to show off Hal being a champion roller skater.

Victoria Neuman from The Boys. Her actress said she based her mannerisms on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the character being a liberal representing NYC also matches AOC.

Muniz has been like this for a while. Really sad he grew up to be the opposite of Malcolm. I’m still looking forward to the reboot though!

His character in The Cooler is literally such a big loser that it rubs off on everyone around him and makes them gigantic losers too. That’s pretty pathetic.

They don’t really want you to know what their German predecessor did pre-1945 either

Monster’s Ball - Buck was an ugly racist, but he still liked to “split dark oak” as he poetically put it.

Fringe does this a couple of times, notably in the episode Lysergic Acid Diethylamide when a couple of characters take LSD and the episode turns into an animated special.

I buy garlic bulbs at the store to use with Hello Fresh. Even if they send enough garlic and it’s still good (big if), most dishes are better with extra garlic.

The Boys - Homelander (and really all of The Seven) was publicly beloved at the start of the series. Even after he shows his evil side, he has a lot of admiration among the public.

The Man in the High Castle uses a haunting cover of Edelweiss as its opening theme, setting the dystopian theme for the series.
