The 5th Doctor in Black Orchid, although the genre he’s found himself in is “Agatha Christie knock-off”.

I always include Harry Nilsson in this, but I don’t think he’s in a genre story. Unless you count Russian Doll.

I have zero idea what this means.

ariehkovler.com•70 days ago

My apologies.

I mean, to be fair I was very consciously riffing on Scrooge.

I think you’ve identified the “I just want to go back to bed”
monomyth.

Ocean in Eleven, Ferris Bueller in Day Off, and most if not all of the Narnia kids.
