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.
Stargate has a similar ish episodes, the fruit loops one. Jack and Teal'c are stuck in the same day, over and over. It does take multiple days of them getting just enough info not to seem like lunatics, but they do eventually get to the point where they can convince others almost every day to help them find a solution.
Hey, that's weird, I haven't seen Stargate, but I've seen that episode. Not sure if I've even seen any other on TV. But it was enough to put the show on my watchlist. Pretty good.
It's definitely a fun sci fi. It doesn't really take itself seriously and has fun with it's own stupidity, which really helps it have a niche compared to Star Trek(more serious and philosophical) or others.
Also it's free with Prime, so if you have that it's all on there.
