Sankofa viewing — Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the word and it associated symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”
In contemporary parlance a Sankofa viewing is going back and watching to prior episodes of a series that you are bingeing to both refresh your memory and to see if the series is well written.
By tracing the backstories of the major characters you will easily be able to tell if the story arcs are well planned; or, if a group of writers are just throwing some third act plot twist shite against a wall to see if it will stick!!!!!
For practicing this art I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE WALKING DEAD OR ANY OF ITS CLONES because you will be terribly disappointed by the writing and a group of writers were throwing a lot of third act plot twist shite against the wall to see if it would stick!!!!!!!
The Sopranos, on the other hand, will not disappoint and rewards rewatching, They were telling you where it was going from episode one.
Amazingly, when you get good at this with binge watching visual mediums, it may be useful to read a book or two. Most good books reward a Sankofa Reading. After all, isn’t that why writing was invented?
But, ya gotta start somewhere.

Get the Sankofa viewing mug.He is very smart and likes to be mischievous. He is the godlike person of the squad. A Sanketh loves to play games. He is more independent at stuff. However, when he gets the chance to share he will always do it. He is a great leader and is always happy to help. He is also very funny.

Get the Sankaku Complex mug.He is the one true and most powerful being in the universe. He is also known as the first-class singularity. He was present before time itself and defies all laws of reality. He can pass through multiple dimensions and warp space and time to his bidding. Sankalp is present within this current world, masquerading as a weak mortal. No one knows what his true intentions are, as it remains a mystery to know what he will do in the future. Mess with Sankalp and you mess with death itself, perhaps even more powerful. Sankalp can create multiple realities and can fuse multiple time slices together, as he is in the past, present, and future. There has been speculation of a clan that knows and has seen Sankalp's true mortal body and aims to follow his path and observe him throughout their lives. They are known as the Sankalpians, faithful followers that aim to learn about the true origin of the world and attain omniscience through the art of balancing their spirtiual and physical centers.
"Have you given your offerings to Lord Sankalp?"
"Yes I have, I am not a fool that engages in the bickering of mortals, I have better things to do."
"Very good, now let us bow down to Sankalp"
