Unforgettable is a TV series featuring Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, a policewoman who can remember everything she's experienced in her life, except the details of her sister's death. It's loosely based off a short story by Prof. J. Robert Lenon, "The Rememberer".The series initially only got one season (2011-2012), but CBS Un-Canceled the show for a summer run starting August 2013 to stop it from moving to TNT or Lifetime; it ran for two shorter runs before being axed in October 2014. Then it was uncancelled a second time by A&E, only for the fourth season to wrap with another cancellation in February 2016.As the series starts, Carrie, a former homicide detective with the Syracuse, New York police department, is living in New York City making her money by using her talent to break the bank at underground casinos. When her neighbor downstairs is stabbed to death, however, she encounters her former supervisor and lover Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), now a lieutenant with the NYPD and the investigating detective. She assists in solving this first murder and Al recruits her into his unit afterwards.After the 2013 retool Carrie and Al move to the Major Crimes unit, helmed by Captain Eliot Delson.Not to be confused with Unforgotten | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Unforgettable / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Carrie's Photographic Memory makes her an excellent investigator but also means that she will never be able to forget any details of the grisly crimes she comes across. She also has issues with personal relationships since she cannot really "forgive and forget" when a relationship goes sour on her. We also learn that there were five other people like Carrie, and that a memory researcher deduced a common factor between all of them was a tendency to risk-taking. He concluded that the release of adrenaline interferes with memory formation and that's why they seek these thrills. Not all of them have great lives either. One person committed suicide since the study. Another has become a thrill-seeking flimflammer who peddles all kinds of products of dubious usefulness. The oldest of them has become an alcoholic. Yet another moved away to become a Buddhist monk. The last (except for Carrie herself) is an accountant who seems to have it all together, but who has a Troubled Past and has turned to murder as the ultimate memory-erasing thrill. | |

Cowboy Cop | |
| Unforgettable / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: Carrie, due to her ability, and to Al's everlasting irritation. Justified by her condition making her something of an andrenaline junkie: since the stress hormones interfere with long-term memory formation, risk-taking behavior is one of the few ways someone with hyperthymesia can do something they won't remember. | |

Anchored Ship: There are still strong residual feelings between Carrie and Al, but they're both so committed to their jobs and solving the murder of Carrie's sister that nothing will happen. They also remember how their previous relationship went sour, and that they regret things that happened. Even Al's girlfriend is fairly trusting of them. Averted as of the season finale, plus Al's comments about having "been kicked out". | |

Photographic Memory | |
| Unforgettable / int_5fdf73bc | comment |
Photographic Memory: The core premise of the show is that Carrie never forgets anything she experiences. A lot of emphasis is placed on the fact that she can go over a memory in her mind multiple times and reexamine it for details she missed originally. The ability is portrayed both as a great gift and a curse since she will always perfectly remember the best moments of her life but will also never forget the grisly details of the crimes she investigates. Carrie doesn't just have photographic memory, but rather, Hyperthymesia, which is an explicit fact per the pilot. The difference between the hyperthymesia and photographic memory is that hyperthymesia tends to go "one step further": in addition to perfect recalling of images, senses including scents, sounds, taste, and the like, as well as events and conversations, are recalled with ease, whereas photographic memory is more often than not entirely visual. This is demonstrated in several episodes when Carrie can recall odors and muffled gun shots that allowed her to determine where they were shot from at the crime scene. As of now, a mere twenty cases of hyperthymesia are confirmed to exist. | |

Deadpan Snarker | |
| Unforgettable / int_ae3d6438 | comment |
Deadpan Snarker: Nina and Saunders have a double-act thing going. The real stealth snarker of the gang is Al, though. Dr. Webster's getting in on the act, though it's understandable. She's played by Jane Curtin. | |

Sliding Scale of Continuity | |
| Unforgettable / int_bf996668 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Continuity: Season one is Arc-Based Episodic, with a Myth Arc of Carrie trying to identify a man she saw the day her sister was murdered, in between solving a weekly homicide. After the retool the Myth Arc is dropped and the series changes to Subtle Continuity, unconnected Body of the Week episodes with the odd Continuity Nod. | |

Cutting the Knot: Lampshaded. Faced with an anarchist hacker who likes to reference Greek Mythology and is about to wreck the financial system from his computer, Carrie asks him if he's heard of the Gordian knot. He answers with the trope namer, and she demonstrates by shooting his laptop. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Unforgettable / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To 2 Broke Girls when the Victim of the Week was a very poor girl posing as a very rich girl who was cut off from her family. Unlike the girls on 2BG, the victim's main problem was that she had no friends: her rich boyfriend panicked and fled when she revealed the truth; her real friend had to pose as her enemy and couldn't comfort her; her ex-husband was abusive and blackmailing her; and her manager wouldn't let her leave the "act". To Die Hard implicitly in "Omega Hour" when a building is taken over by terrorists demanding an impossible ransom, and then explicitly when Jay mentions "Hans Gruber". To Carrie in a scene where she is talking to a guy about who had the worst prom: | |

Seamless Spontaneous Lie | |
| Unforgettable / int_c856e477 | comment |
Seamless Spontaneous Lie: A murder suspect, while being interrogated by the cops, realizes that they have discovered that the murder scene was staged, so he has to come up with a new story to distract the detectives. He uses the "take names from the bulletin board" technique to tell a believable story and the detectives spend a fair chunk of time chasing this red herring. | |

Lock and Load: Carrie locks and loads her gun to intimidate a mobster after he tells her to put the gun down because she obviously doesn't know anything about guns (insert prejudiced reason here). Carrie almost contemptuously ejects the mag then slides it back in place and puts it back on target. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Will Carrie and Al reignite their old relationship? They acknowledge that's "not who [they] are anymore", but the spark's clearly still there. It may be moving in a "they will" direction, now that Elaine has dumped Al saying he's still in love with Carrie. As of the season 1 finale, they get together. | |
