Wise viewers realize that, as much as they may tend to
think they know what they want or will accept, they don't
really know till they see it. Good writers create unexpected situations which viewers would never expect or even think they'd want to see, in some cases, and they sell it with great ideas, plot, and dialogue. We're not writers, so we can't imagine these great, inspired plotlines that might legitimize an idea such as Moltke as some evil creature, but it can be done. It would be worth doing specifically because it would be so strange and unexpected and challenging to the viewer.
