I finally listened to my mom about skipping episodes

My mom always told me not to skip episodes of a show, even the boring ones. I thought I knew better and jumped ahead on Breaking Bad, missing like 3 episodes in season 2. Turned out I completely missed why Jesse gets so mad at Walter later on. Had to go back and rewatch those episodes after my friend called me out for not knowing a key plot point. Now I never skip anything, not even the filler episodes in old anime. Mom was right about that one and I still feel dumb about it. Anyone else gotten burnt from skipping around?

My buddy skipped half of Season 4 and had no clue why anyone hated the villain.

Oh man, that's brutal. I did the same thing with Lost back in the day, skipped like two episodes in season 3 and suddenly everyone's in a different time period and I'm just sitting there confused as hell. My buddy still brings it up every time we talk about the show. It's like, you think you're saving time but really you're just setting yourself up for a whole lot of rewatching and embarrassment.
