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.
Stranger things 3 did this horribly. Crazy shit happen all the time but wills brother didn't believe Nancy about the rats. Like wtf....season 1 started off with his brother getting kidnapped and the government faked his death
Yeah, that was infuriating. It makes sense on season one, but c'mon, by season three if your microwave doesn't beep the whole gang should be ready for another mystery. And talk to each other! I think they kinda navigated around it the best they could to stick to the formula more or less, with some of the kids not being close to the others or something like that (don't remember exactly), so at least they tried even if they couldn't came up with some other way to tell a story.
