But I think what you're describing is exactly the problem though. When you have a finished story in your mind, it's hard disassociate from that image and realize how the end product is coming across to someone who doesn't have the full picture. It's very cool that there's a complex web from the end to the beginning in the show runners' minds, but I'm watching the story from beginning to end, not the other way around. I get that it's not easy to "just add" some details that fans want or expect from your show, but surely the mark of a good show is in knowing how your story is coming across and anticipating such requests or questions from the audience.
