I am fairly observant but I don't pick apart every little scene. If there is an interesting detail, I file it away in my brain to pull up when the show references it later.<br /><br />As for extra content, it is a mixed bag. It can enrich your viewing experience if it is done well. The blogs and podcasts for Grey's Anatomy are pretty good, while the graphic novels for Heroes take too long to load each page to be enjoyable. I've never heard of people DEMANDING extra content, though, and I hang out online with a lot of TV and SF geeks (the same people who overanalyze shows). Most of them say that the online content isn't really necessary to enjoy the show.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13231573.post-21361365943613233992006-11-13T02:39:00.000-05:002006-11-13T02:39:00.000-05:00I remember Dallas the cliffhanger of "Who Shot JR?...I remember Dallas the cliffhanger of "Who Shot JR?" was stretched out due to a writers strike.<br /><br />You do understand what I mean, the obsession with certain shows is getting ridiculous. Analysis of frame by frame, spoilers a year in advanced, demanding extra content beyond the 1 hour in front of the TV.<br /><br />It was just a rant, I had to drop a class I was just venting.Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349516488425977793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13231573.post-81068124924333436222006-11-13T00:46:00.000-05:002006-11-13T00:46:00.000-05:00A person is a "fake fan" because she complains abo...A person is a "fake fan" because she complains about parts of the show? I'm not sure what I think of that. Part of the fun of watching a show is discussing it with other people who also watch it, and sometimes discussion includes complaining. <br /><br />Now, I DO have a problem with people who get OVERLY upset about certain plot twists, like the fans who were so mad that George slept with Meredith on GA. They equated it with rape and posted really angry comments on the official GA blog. Take it down a notch -- it is just a TV show.<br /><br />As for TV on DVD, I think it is the best thing ever. There are several shows that I was not aware of when they originally aired (like Firefly) or that I couldn't watch because they were on premium channels (such as Dead Like Me). Having them on DVD gives me another chance to watch them, and I don't think that makes me a "fake fan". I will admit that it has spoiled me a bit, though; I'm not as patient with cliffhangers as I used to be when I was a kid and didn't have any choice.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13231573.post-52102604954174257392006-11-11T20:33:00.000-05:002006-11-11T20:33:00.000-05:00I try.I try.Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349516488425977793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13231573.post-71938990355418266852006-11-11T19:54:00.000-05:002006-11-11T19:54:00.000-05:00........catchy title......i would have used it...............catchy title......i would have used it......but it seemed too naughty.Oberonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510828255050663427noreply@blogger.com
