What’s wrong with you, Lisa. You’re not

I thought I wouldn't like it, so I was
going to just watch a few episodes to get
the gist of the story. But the next thing I knew it was 6 a.m. and the sun
was coming up and the show ended on a cliffhanger.
* get the gist of: to understand the
basic meaning of something that is being explained

people get the gist of CPR and first aid.

You must be a complete basket case now! At least you can get
some sleep tonight, right?

and seems a bit crazy or out of control
ex> After filling out 10 forms and
waiting in line for three hours, Sheila was a complete basket case.
There’s a new episode tonight and I have
two more episodes to watch in order to catch up.
I guess I’ll wait to ask you out to
dinner until you get this show out of your system.
* get ~ out of one’s system: to do
something until you no longer feel the need to do it anymore
