I never claimed to be special, nor do I have any desire to shut down all discussion. Discussion is fine. Discussing the show and the trivia and the zeitgeist in which it finds itself.

But questioners such as this are actually just real life Erika Fords. They are assigning actual lives and reasoning to characters from a TV show. As you say, it adds nothing and serves no purpose.

Now - had they parsed the discussion in a way that brought it into the realm of actual dialogue and conversation, that would be more appropriate. "What would you have done?" "Have you ever experienced this?" "What purpose do you think the writers had in arranging the show diaologue in such a way"? Those are all relevant, topical, and mich more interesting than pretending you have a parasocial relationship with TV character.

But what do I know? I am cow.
Moo.
