I continue to be fascinated by how two groups of people came away from 8x11 with such drastically different and confident interpretations. I'm trying to remember the last time this has happened. I think it's been a while but it's really interesting to see.

#When I say it's interesting #I'm talking about from like a social/artistic perspective #I mean the goal of any artist/storyteller/creator is to leave a mark on their audience #and to be dissected and discussed and pulled apart #and interpreted and reinterpreted and argued about and debated #Such things are the mark of artistic success #I don't think I've ever seen an episode of 911 accomplish this goal so completely #and maybe it's because before BT there was no... passion. like. There was no collective voice #for the other ships (BuckTaylor came closest)#so there was no reason to argue and pick things apart with such overwhelming confidence and assurance #But to witness both sides so absolutely convinced of their own desires being met from the SAME piece of artwork #Oh it's fascinating to me.#Objectively annoying as someone watching both sides gloat and snip at each other #but really fascinating as an artist
