There's a trope which I call - 'Dream Memory Hole' that I'm really not fond of but I've seen it done well a few times. Can you think of any good examples?
Am referring to when a /tv show/film/book ends with a variation of:
A - 'It was all just a dream' No One remembers anything
or
B - 'Everyone's memories get wiped and no one remembers anything'
or
C - 'Everyone except ONE character has their memory wiped'
ST:Next Gen did great versions of (C), as did Stargate, also Farscape ?
