The Gregory one is an EXCELLENT example of exactly what I meant. The perception of the show depends on the audience remembering things and making connections between things, and if you miss those things altogether because you aren't paying close attention (or weren't paying close attention when the things that are being subtly referred to were first mentioned--or maybe didn't even see the original episode).
For what it's worth, though, I really don't think Treon counts as a shallow viewer of the sort I meant in my original comment. I mean, Treon, even if you are in fact the shallowest of shallow in your original viewing, anybody who then subsequently discusses each episode to death in this community is going to have a different view of the show than the sort of casual viewer who's maybe walking in and out of the room while the show airs.
