character interesting eruption
A problem that I have with everything fictional is that writers are always having to come up with sudden artillery explosions in the middle of whatever is going on.

character tv-shows feelings
Some TV shows are like really good novels in that there are enough episodes that you start to have your own feelings about how the characters should act.

That's wrong." You can actually argue with a TV show in a way that you can't do as much with movie - you inhabit a TV show in the way you inhabit a novel.
