#### Short description of the issue

- I have recently had movies and shows I’ve seen and finished long ago randomly showing up in continue watching

#### Detailed description with additional context about the workflow

- The other day I opened Trakt and all of a sudden I have under Continue Watching Popstar with only 54 minutes left to finish and I had seen it a long time ago. I’m on vacation and not even logging anything so how does a movie show up with 50 minutes watched at the very first spot of Continue Watching without me logging anything??

#### Screenshots and other visual aids

This seems to be a recurring problem that’s happened a few times with different series and random episodes.

More weird is that it’s a movie not a series. I would be less surprised if it was a show I kind of stopped watching.

This is insane. I’m still out of town, not logging anything and today Prometheus shows up as partially logged. What the hell is going on??
