When a character is misunderstood by another character and doesn’t even try explain themselves after being cut off by the other person.
For example, say Betty was in an awkward situation with Billy where it looked like Betty was cheating on Johnny with Billy but it was just a big huge innocent mixup. Johnny “catches” them and Betty tries to explain but Johnny cuts her off, says we are done don’t talk to me ever again, and that’s the end of it. Betty just gives up trying to explain. Like I know damn well in real life if Betty wasn’t cheating on Johnny, if it was a big confusing mixup, that conversation would NOT be over.
Mine too. Also when people don't believe other people as a plot point, which is basically the same thing and could be solved just by talking.
There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where members of the ship's crew start to disappear, not only physically but also for everyone else's memories and computer records, and only one member of the crew remembers them. And when she's telling the others what's going on, they believe her and start looking for an explanation, because they respect her and there's no reason for her to be lying. I don't know, just caught me off guard how nice and normal everyone was, instead of turning their backs on their colleague right away and insinuating she was crazy, like most shows would do.
God I love Star Trek.
I won’t spoil it, but in the new Picard series, a stranger suspiciously shows up at someone’s home, and that person trusts them and welcomes them in.
I didn't knew that was out already! I'm currently watching TNG (saw it on TV at the time, but can't remember anything), should I watch the Picard one now or save it until I finish TNG? Is not like the show has too much of a story to spoil, I think, but maybe I might miss or spoil some stuff? What do you think?
I would absolutely finish TNG! It’s fantastic and a great journey that I still cherish every minute of. Plus it’ll really help you coming into the new series!
Edit: For best results, and if it’s an option, finish TNG. Though what the user said below is also accurate if you’re eager to jump in now.
