Fan Hive Mind: any more like this?

[beccaelizabeth]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Superstar, Jonathan is suddenly the coolest guy in the world
Torchwood, Adam, title guy is suddenly the favourite team member

in books, Torchwood, Border Princes, team has a new best member
and a kid book called You Remember Me where there's a woman who only has to say that and everyone does.

Any more like that? Like the MarySue of instant best friend / most awesome, but it's meant to be creepy in the 'verse?

There was a Star Trek:TNG where someone was inserted into the crew somehow, as if he'd always been there.

Seems familiar enough a trope, but I'm not sure where else I've seen it.

TV Tropes Remember the New Guy

mostly lists the ordinary retcons, like Cameron Mitchell, with a few reality bends and memory alterations thrown in.

like Stargate SG-1, "The Fifth Man"

... TV Tropes says 'an episode of TNG' too, it doesn't say which one. Aha, Memory Alpha had it when I poked fake Commanders - Kieran MacDuff, in the episode "Conundrum"

Also has a bunch. But not with episode names so much.
Farscape had the one where John remembered bringing his wife along.


But most fake memories are to other purposes.

Buffy did a very similar thing with Dawn. I think I should know some other examples, but I only got 3 hours sleep last night and the brain is not working. Will try again once that has been fixed.
