Hours of Sleep

Seldo:
That doesn't really work for me as I naturally wake up every few hours
Seldo:
I need a clock to tell me if another 2-hour cycle is safe
Isaac:
crazy
Seldo:
Because waking up halfway through a cycle breaks me for the whole day
Isaac:
how are you not complete manic and anxious and crazy all the time?
Seldo:
Have you met me?
Isaac:
oh yeah, huh...

Shared Flashback

Some time around That 70’s Show, maybe early, but certainly post-Seinfeld, characters in sitcoms gained the ability to have a shared flashback to instantly and graphically communicate with one another.

What’s really odd is that they often know they can do this, and even make meta-jokes about this phenomenon.

Is there a word for this? It seems to me to be something unique to the television storytelling medium, and fairly recent, and we all seem to Just Get It.

I think that’s neat.
