It's subjective, I think? Or depends on the person?
Yeah. There is also the fact of 'Your friends are not watching the same show you are' (this was an online essay that has now vanished, alas) - that is, we all come to the table with different things and are engaged by different aspects of stories/media.

And since nothing can be everything to everyone, we just have to enjoy what we can, and let the rest go. :)

Yeah, we all see things differently. It makes sense. I mean - it's actually weird that we agree as much as we do on things. Or see them similarly. It's not strange that we see them differently - that's a given, but that we ever agree...miraculous connection.
