    including one of only two episodes that I can’t rewatch when I burn through the series again

    Let me guess, Code of Honour? And the other one is Sub Rosa?

      Dead on with code of honor. No on the second one though. That one’s honestly so bad it’s fun. The other one I can’t bother with is the riker clip episode.

        Oh right I think I had completely suppressed any memory of the clip episode. And it was only in like season 2, not even long enough to really earn a clip episode.

            That’s pretty normal, isn’t it? Admittedly I can’t recall any true clip episodes apart from this one right now (unless you count the Community “clips of hypothetical episodes that never existed” episode, or the Avatar “characters go watch a play about the events of the preceding 3 seasons” episode), but my vague recollection is that they would always have some sort of frame narrative, even if it’s as simplistic as “characters reminisce”.

            Edit: oh actually, speaking of Avatar, if I’m remembering correctly, Korra did a clip episode. I think the creators made a public apology ahead of time basically saying “we had to do this for budgetary reasons”. I don’t remember what the frame narrative was around that episode. I do remember it involved these awful “extra cartoony” figures popping up in the corner throughout though.
