I'm learning to take ep. commentaries with a grain of salt as well.
One must. With RTD more than most, because he does change his mind with a fair regularity. And he tends to overstate... I think he is a master at pr, and of course his commentaries are meant to fan enthusiasm, curiosity, anticipation and controversy about his show. So... entertaining but not always reliable.
they don't always mesh with the show going on in my head.
That also is true. Sometimes they say "we did this, for this reason" and I think: "No, they didn't. Weren't they paying attention to their own story?"
I sometimes think we'd be better off once the holodeck is invented. Then, we could pay for universes and fans could all do what they wanted.
Wouldn't that be fun? Meanwhile, we have fanfic to read and write and play with.
ans could all do what they wanted. Then, there would be no more dissonance.
Utopian thought, there - ! I bet people would still find a way to get ship wars.
