They are a waste of everyone (including the scriptwriters,) time. I hated waking up Saturday morning turning on Yugioh only to find my morning wasted with 30 minutes of "heres what happened in case you have a memory of a fish!"

It's horrible in today's age of binging.

Bitch, I saw that entire season today. I don't need 2 fucking recap episodes.

Even worse are the ones that somehow mix in plot-important details, so you actually have to watch them.

At the very least there should be a warning at the beginning of the episode so I know I can skip it.

I generally agree. Theyre an artifact of pre-internet television when audiences who missed a few episodes would need to be caught up.

Still, Ive seen a few good ones

ROD the TV has a great "recap" episode, told through a supporting character writing a report on everything that had happened.

Its good because, beside consolidating the events of the show and the OVA, it adds new context and information as well as builds up intrigue for the next arc. So in addition of being an epilogue for the last arc, its an "Issue #0" for the next one. Also it teases the return of Yomiko which is hype af.

Another good one was in Frasier. Not exactly a clip show since they reshot some of the old scenes, but the old scenes were used to break down and analyze Nile's relationship with Daphne and was instrumental in making that relationship evolve into something satisfying and believable.

And of course Kill La Kill's "clip show" was great. >~>

I thought what they did was create a final episode completely different from the rest that preceded it, use copious amounts of stock footage, and end it with everyone applauding for the main character and congratulating him.
