Well, I was going to say you're being Lost's Roberto Calasso - you cast the show into this very familiar epic obsessions. So, sure, yes, I could bear with a little more detail, but frankly the story of the god trying to birth himself, using people as chits to that end - it's really stirring, and deeply familiar, and so I get to be gripped with Lost without having to suffer their telling me what heartwarming normalcy is like. That - the heartwarming normalcy - is a low bar for most people, and I can just about never get over it. I'm still interested in power struggles, though!
