The baby plot, cause most of the time it's just a reason for new storylines and the writers can't come up with new storylines for the already existing characters..
Love Triangle and Fake Death. I do like the Baby Plot but not if they overuse it or have characters assume they might be pregnant with lots of DRAMA even tho they are not.
Love triangles. Ugh. Just not, unless it ends in all 3 getting together but that never happens.
Also keeping secrets from other characters for ridiculous reasons. Its why I'm happy everyone found out about Skye's powers really quickly in AOS and not like 10 episodes later.
The Love Triangle for me. I mean romance is one of my fave genres but I really can't stand love triangles anymore. The baby plot...that depends on who it is. If it's my favorite couple, then that's a good thing(:
Love triangles - hate them with a passion. Gave up on many shows due to triangles.
Amnesia - Close second. Main reason why final episodes of Chuck (once my favorite show) are ruined forever. (at least for me)
Baby plot (or pregnant plot) and fake death/s - if used intelligently and sparingly, they could provide good story lines but more often than not, these tropes are abused to the hilt.
Secret and lies (not the show) - sometimes shows go to really unbelievable lengths and make characters highly unlikeable just to stretch out the drama by using secrets and lies.
Recycled stories are the worst. I'm ok with love triangles if they are not that much in focus and don't go on for too long. But they have to be done right, otherwise they can be the worst of all. I also hate amnesia usually, and sicknesses. Those depress me so much, I don't want to see them. Real life is enough.
THE LOVE TRIANGLE above all. Just OUAT has worn me off triangles forever. The Liar Revealed, because most of the time is an occasion for pointless drama. Everybody dating obsessively and only in their own circles - Dear Lord has this been overused. Unhealthy couples being idealized (the principal example being KLAINE, obviously) - seen way too much and it's always obnoxious The Doofus Husband and the Wife Who's Always Right - not funny. Never was, never will.
1. Love triangle and basically gluing everybody on screen together! 2. Killing popular characters for the sake of shock value/lasting effect/actor leaving/ etc. 3. Dumping down everyone below the IQ of a chicken so they can't see the obvious lies and secrets, and basically making a character lies for no reason. 4. Every plot full of potholes!
The baby plot since it prevents characters from doing their usual stuff, and more often than not it leads to boring/repetitive parenting sequences. Some shows have got away with it by leaving most of it off screen, like Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec, but most often than not I find it annoying, like during the first half of this season of OUAT.
The fake death may annoy me if the death itself had a huge emotional resonance, as it completely invalidates that emotional scene.
Love triangle can be reaaaally annoying, but sometimes they can be put under the rug and I won't even notice.
Love triangle and killing off characters. I don't know why writers think it's a brilliant move to kill off a character in order to create some character development for others. The shock value mostly lasts for a second but the missing character hurts the whole show.
I know love triangles get a lot of hate and sometimes they are absolutely awful but I find that they can be well done as well. I thought Reign did it really well with the original one (I won't comment on this season though.......) as did the vampire diaries during the early years when it was on the back burner. Essentially, I think the problem arises when the love triangles are driving the plot and not becoming an effect of the plot.
As for the others, it really depends too. I tend to hate the idea of the amnesia storylines, but for instance Revenge did it very well in Season 3 (and for a short tie only), so it can be well done, even if on first glance I will always dislike it.
I tend to be against resurrecting characters that had major death scenes too, but I am not very consistent there. It was stupid for say, Revenge to resurrect David or Prison Break to resurrect Sara, but I liked what they did with it and I think the shows gained more than they lost with those, even if I still dislike the idea. I think the problem is more egregious on supernatural shows like TVD and TO in which they essentially remove any meaning from death since they can always find a way to cheat it and get everyone back to life.
One thing that tends to bother me more than anything on this list in a rather consistent manner is shows dropping storylines or acting as if certain things/ relationships never existed (particularly people swapping boyfriends and girlfriends and speaking with one another about it as if it never happened). Examples: Revenge ignoring Mama Clarke, Reign not acknowledging Mary and Bash, Grey's Anatomy ignoring that people had previous hook-ups, OUAT being way too forgiving of murder, etc
Ugh love triangles because it will always leave one person out I don't mind quad I don't like characters that get mad at another characters because that character ask you keep a secret and they get mad at you when it's not your secret to tell
Well... they're all pretty tired and contrived but I do think good writing can make a difference... except long lost kid... that one I think is just a lost cause!
I guess I'm gonna cast votes for: Love triangle (mostly because it has become such a go-to I just can't not vote for it on principle) and Other to include the "long lost kid"
I don't think baby plots are in themselves bad. I think the aftermath of how to incorporate a kid into the show is what usually makes it a bad storyline.
Sometimes, okay rarely, a love triangle can be fine if it's done subtly and the choice between the 2 is difficult. The problem is also that it's become such a used staple that you can see it coming a mile away. I voted for the amnesia plot because I feel it always sets the story back and it slows everything down. And it always happens at a moment when a crucial decision was about to be taken or a game-changing secret was about to be revealed. On top of that, seeing a character stumble around, looking at everything and everyone with wide eyes is more comical than anything else. I'm also not a huge fan of babies, all you can do with a baby is hold it and smile at it and listen to it cry once a while. And their acting is usually very limited. The only time I was interested in a baby was Raising Hope but the baby was at the centre of the whole series and she grew up each season, in the last one she was a little girl.
I liked the love triangle on Walking Dead between Rick, Shane and Lori because it made sense for Lori to hang on to someone strong who could protect her and her son since she thought her husband was dead. And when Rick came back and he made a couple bad decisions, it still made sense for her to be torn between the two. Plus I liked how Shane completely unravelled because of her.
Love triangle, amnesia. Way too common and it's cheap drama. Okay, it works on some shows, but a lot of shows who shouldn't be going there have. Does there really have to be a love triangle for EVERY romance?
Baby plot depends on the type of show and why the writers are doing it.
Fake death is okay as long as it's not overdone. It's a predictable thing on sic-fi shows so that's another reason to avoid it.
Cancer and drug addiction, again, depends on the type of show and how it's written.
I don't know what "the resistance" means? is it like resisting giving in or something?
Love Triangle, if done right it can work. But you've got to do it moderately. Don't have it take over the main plots.
Other: will they, won't they? Worst part of TV, the constant dingle-dangle with fans and focusing too much on these relationships is even worse of a showkiller than triangles
The love triangle, now and forever. It's become even worse than "will they-won't they" in my opinion. I detest amnesia storylines as well but I'd put them third. Second would be the tendency to always have to partner people off into couples. This is especially annoying when they feel the need to put the male and female co-stars in a romantic relationship every single time. It is so old now that it's cliched. It's not like in real life every who works together gets together.
The "baddie falls for/wants to bone the good girl/heroine and decides to go about his redemption to win her, conveniently forgoing acknowledgement of and atoning for what he's done, because NOT being a complete dick to the girl he wants to bone is totally enough and if he reverts to form, it's that bitch's fault because why couldn't she just love him like he loves her, because she doesn't deserve a choice when there's a hot dude wanting to bone her and occasionally has man pain"
I can't think of one time a love triangle has been good for a storyline either. In fact, I can't think of one time that a love triangle hasn't left at least one character much less interesting/appealing by having it. Usually all characters suffer by having been in a love tirangle.
Even worse is when they kill off the character for deep dramatic effect only to have said character be resurrected in some way a couple of episodes down the line.
Having out-of-character writing to serve a writer's plot for an episode always annoys me too. If the story cannot come naturally from a character, then write it for another show. Supernatural has been particularly bad about changing the character to fit the writer's wishes.
Definitely amnesia. Especially when it lasts or changes the character. And when peoples memories are taken. OUAT for example. It was great during the first curse when nobody remembered who they were. After that, it became silly (2nd curse and nobody having memories of the Snow Queen) And definitely love triangles. The only one I 'liked' was on 666 Park Avenue. Hated them in any other show. They were terrible on Lost, but thankfully everyone mayor ended up with the right character.
I find the forced coupling especially ridiculous in procedurals whether it's cop shows or medical shows. It's like as long as they're doing the same job, they must be perfect for each other.
Exactly. I don't watch many medical shows but it particularly bugs me in cop shows. Instead of wondering if they are going to get together it is now just a question of when. They are already all similar. Why make the character interaction the same as well? It's boring and just not realistic. I know very few people in real life who are in a relationship with someone they also work with. Partners at work doesn't mean partners in the bedroom, but Hollywood has not gotten the message and it stalls some otherwise good shows.
Indeed, I mean secrets are needed in shows it keeps it interesting but sometimes characters are kept in the dark for no real reason just to cause future conflict.
The medical show I was thinking about was Grey's Anatomy which I used to follow, basically every doctor or surgeon has been slept with, dated and/or flirted with by anyone working in the hospital. Usually just a couple of episodes is enough for them to decide to form a "meaningful" relationship. Granted it's also a show where all the doctors look amazing which is also quite unrealistic. As far as cop shows are concerned, it's true that when I think about Castle, the Mentalist, Bones or NCIS Los Angeles, it's basically all the same story.
It's basically why I stopped watching Vampire Diaries, these teens lived in a supposedly violent world where there were vampires and werewolves about so characters were bound to get killed sooner or later. But how can the story move on if characters get constantly resurrected? I think it makes the audience feel cheated, like they grieved for a character and suddenly he's back like nothing happened.
Sometimes you get the feeling that the writers just don't know what to do with a character so they basically destroy everything interesting about him so they can kill him off.
It also cheapens the original episode. For instance, the episode where Bobby died was one of the best post-season 3 episodes of Supernatural. It was so well written. But when Bobby came back as a ghost a little bit later, it marred my sentiments about an episode that I originally loved. It took away the episode's power.
I actually avoided GA because of that. When the storylines seemed to care more about who was shacking up with whom instead of them doing their jobs and saving lives, I'm out. I think it's funny that you mentioned these 4 cop shows because they are exactly the indistinguishable ones that I was thinking of. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I kept watching Grey's Anatomy mostly because of Sandra Oh's character: Christina Yang. I loved the fact that she was driven only by her job and even when she fell in love, it wasn't overly sugar-coated. And I have a soft spot for female characters who are happy and successful without necessarily being a wife and a mother.
I'm a huge fan of Supernatural so I'm usually blind to its faults but it's true that Bobby's death was so touching and brutal, and it really unsettled the guys, it was a great call plot-wise. But it is a bit annoying when they keep killing and bringing back characters, especially Sam and Dean. I mean, we know they're not going to stay dead so there's not much of a surprise.
I expect either Dean or Sam to die once a season so that doesn't phase me as much as all the others who never die. Or to be honest, all those I want to die but never do.
Love triangle for $1000. So overused, and often poorly written. Its not a triangle but one couple with one barnacle added who seems out of place the whole time.
I picked The Cancer and Other. I'm not really of "the cancer" series. I picked other because more than "The Plots", which can win me or lose me depending on the writing and the characters. My biggest list of annoyances aren't big plot devices but things like the when the hero fights the bad guy and *thinks* the bad guy is dead only to hop up and attack again.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

ReplyDeleteLove triangles by a country mile. I'm trying to come up with a show that did them without me getting viciously annoyed and I'm failing.
ReplyDeleteA distant second is the amnesia plot, though on rare occasions that can work, as long as it doesn't stretch too long.
Recycled stories are the worst. I'm ok with love triangles if they are not that much in focus and don't go on for too long. But they have to be done right, otherwise they can be the worst of all.

The love triangule because it always destroys good stories; people get crazy about this and forget about the main story!!!
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of them have been in The Vampire Diaries.
ReplyDeleteThe is it their baby/is it not plot line, and the fake death
ReplyDeleteLove triangles and babies..ugh
ReplyDelete1. Love triangle and basically gluing everybody on screen together!

ReplyDeleteYes, that's a better way of putting it, maybe!
ReplyDeleteLove Triangles can be overused basically every show has or had one.
ReplyDeleteLove triangle is the worse !!!
ReplyDeleteThe "Groundhog Day" type of plot where you have to keep re-living moments to change them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, okay rarely, a love triangle can be fine if it's done subtly and the choice between the 2 is difficult. The problem is also that it's become such a used staple that you can see it coming a mile away.

The entire plot of Suits is basically built on a big secret and while it's a show I love I agree that it just can't go on forever.
ReplyDeleteHmm, innovative USD poll for once. I voted Love Triangle and Baby Plots
ReplyDeleteI liked the love triangle on Walking Dead between Rick, Shane and Lori because it made sense for Lori to hang on to someone strong who could protect her and her son since she thought her husband was dead.
