The Dream Curse storyline, though it seems to bug the crap out of many DS fans, is one of my favorites. I don't know what it is.
I do. You find it so bad that it's funny. People have enjoyed films and TV in that way for years. (It came out from underground with SNL's "Bad Cinema" sketches I think.) It's only in recent years, though, that a lot of people have said that they
like a show because they find it laughable. This is too confusing, to me. When I have that reaction, I will say it's bad and that I dislike it, but find it so bad or improbable that I enjoy it anyway.
With DS, though, I can't laugh at the storylines I don't like, because DS has always meant something to me, and I'm pulling for it, so I have to cringe during bad stretches. It brings me down in a big way. If an
entire TV series is bad, then I can relax, and laugh or mock.
