Lydia--- Going back to DS in 2002, I noticed/remembered that you could do a show in the 60s that consisted of action after action after action, how are we going to accomplish this, what's in our way, how do we stop that guy from stopping us etc... without anyone stepping back to think about how it affected their lives, whether it was all worth it, what it felt like doing it, whether they were missing the forest for the trees, fixating like crazy on all the critically important tasks.... without stopping to process.
That's especially bad in DS, where (for me) it's all about mood, feel, significance, impact on lives.... not just event after event, boom boom boom. Anyway, I remembered getting totally absorbed in "event" stories or series back then, and it seemed completely natural, but now the characters look like ants scurrying around an ant farm merely doing, doing, doing....
