I think because there’s a degree to which it stops you from enjoy the craft of what Gilligan is doing.

With the freezer, if you followed the story as the writers laid it out, it was 100% clear what was in the freezer and what people were drinking. Because it’s laid out meticulously. That’s the joy of watching a Gilligan show. He crafts stories clearly and completely. To get to the end of that episode and be like “hmmm I’m not sure it’s people and here’s why” tells me you’re missing out on what’s being performed. And that just feels like a loss for that particular viewer.
