A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.

A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.

Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.

Time loop

Body swap

Some members of the team get shrunk (and have to go inside someone's body)

All the male members of the team are turned into simpering idiots by pheromones and have to be saved by the female member(s) of the team and I guess this is feminist somehow

Time loop

Everyone on the team is trapped in their individual worst nightmares and the episode is called "Fear Itself"

Someone goes all "Heart of Darkness" on an alien planet

Trapped in a VR simulation (but you can die for real!)

The team is brainwashed into serving in the workforce of some alien planet

Lotus-eater plot (everyone is trapped in an idyllic fantasy world)

Time loop

One or more members of the team "de-evolve" into cavemen

Someone on the team "evolves" to have super-intelligence (and this is bad)
