My cat knocked over the projector right as we hit the big twist in Severance

We were in my friend's basement in Akron, totally glued to the screen, when my cat decided the power cord was a toy and sent the whole thing crashing down right as the big season one twist hit. We had to scramble to find the remote and rewind, which completely killed the tension of the moment. Has anyone else had a perfect binge moment totally wrecked by a pet or a random accident?

Ugh, that's brutal. But I have to point out, the real twist in Severance is way later, when Mark sees Petey outside. The "they're all alive" thing is more of a mid-season reveal. My dog once stepped on the laptop keyboard during that exact Petey scene and closed the whole browser. Had to find my place all over again.

Right, and that's the thing about good shows, they make you feel that same weird tech dread. It's like when your phone glitches during a big moment and you're just stuck staring at a frozen face. Modern life is full of these tiny interruptions that totally wreck the mood, like a buffering icon right when the monster appears. Your dog on the keyboard is just the animal version of a bad wifi signal, cutting you off right when things get real.
