Re: Approving of characters

[andy73]

It can throw you out of your comfort zone when a character you think you've figured out does something that conflicts with what you thought you knew about them

How many times does this happen in the real life? More than I can expect

I really just irritated with the writer(s). So far, all of the characters on this show have been consistent. The new things we've learned about them have been consistent with what we already knew about them.

Me too.
