To reiterate, it's not about intentions, but about results.

Thank you for pointing that out. I believe it's something that's lost in so many people's way of thinking/creative process. What is intended may be benign or not even considered (and I'm not necessarily saying that everything has to be thought of from 25 different angles, because that's stifling), but what is intended by the creator is never as important as what is perceived by the people doing the perceiving. The subconscious message behind a scene like (and just picking the most egregious one that comes to my mind right now) Ten telling Jack that he's "wrong" is picked up, whether the writer intended it to be there to be picked up or not.


Just dropped on by. Thanks for the interesting read
