Recaptivity

The condition the viewer experiences while watching a reality show when they are forced to sit through a recap of the events to date before they are allowed to see further developments. It is often done to "pad out" an episode that would otherwise come up short of content.

I don't mind two minutes of recaptivity at the beginning of each episode of "Survivor," but during the finale of "The Bachelor," I was in recaptivity for 45 minutes before the Bachelor passed out his final rose.

Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny

The phrase my Biology teacher used to say to try to make himself look smart.

It is considered false by most professional evolutionists and biologists, however many high school biology text books still offer it as evidence for evolution. It claims that each embryo in its development passes through abbreviated stages that resemble developmental stages of its evolutionary ancestors.

It was first proposed by Ernst Haeckel about a century ago. Experimental morphologists and biologists have shown that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between phylogeny and ontogeny.

recrastinated

To procrastinate ( to put off doing something) to an alarming degree; continued and repeated delay of crucial tasks.

She started her PHD, but recrastinated so much that she couldn't finish in the time allowed.

Her house is a total mess. Every time I suggest she cleans it up, she recrastinates.

The recap of the situation was not needed. I've hear enough about it already.
