According to Den Of Geek just about every kitchen-sink genre show hits these six at some point.
The Bodyswap
The Time Loop
Ascension To A Higher Plane Of Existence
Alternate Dimensions
The Doppelganger/Double/Duplicate
The Dream Episode
I only did three of them in the course of The Watch House and the Bodyswap wasn't actually my idea. Mostly because I was sticking with the Buffyverse and there had already been high-profile Ascending, Dream and recent Time Loop episodes. I did do some less common ones, like a Descent Into The Underworld. And admittedly I hit Alternate Dimensions a few times, and that's where our Doppelganger/Double/Duplicate came from. (Which Buffy did as well.)
I naturally had a Time Loop in my Doctor Who game. Who being back as of 2005 might have stopped me doing one in TWH.
Also, "The Most Dangerous Game," in which the heroes are hunted for sport.
ReplyDeleteAw man, I didn't do that one either! Or the somewhat related "the fighting hero is forced to be a gladiator!"
ReplyDeleteBeing the third show in a universe makes this so much trickier.
