That's pretty much what I was thinking, yeah. A detailed plot synopsis is provided in chunks of information of 1-2 sentences. Each of them is tagged as being at a certain point in the text/series, as well as extra tags about the characters/settings that they deal with.

Each query that a user sends would just display a subset of the complete plot synopsis. So user at S3E10 would see all the things that user at S1E02 will be shown, and then the rest of seasons 1, 2 and 3.

The character/setting filtering is just a way of filtering down things further. If you're just interested in what character A has been doing, you don't need to pore through information about characters B, C and D.
