I am so old, I remember movies and TV series that used a simple linear timeline. The amount of flashbacks in modern films and series is becoming really annoying to me. Dear writers, doing "2 months earlier" or "6 hours earlier" cut and paste is not a sign of good storytelling. It is distracting, leaves the audience confused. It's not the smart, intellectual thing you think it is. /EndRant
