Do you over analyze/observe movies and TV shows?

West where the Sunsets
Reading the Westworld thread and A LOT of cats were sharing their theories and ideas. Got me wondering how much of TFR does this.

Me, I tend to stay away from it because it kind of takes away from the viewing pleasure. I'm trying to watch a movie/show, not solve a puzzle.

Of course there are times where things are predictable, but with shows like WW, those are a different level of beast. I appreciate the smallest details they put in because the subtleties are :wow:

I am NOT a sex offender
Yes, I do it to an extreme and I don't even know how to watch TV or movies like a regular person anymore, just as some psychoath constantly studying dialogue and plot and acting. I don't even remember what it was like to watch like a normal person. And now I don't like watching things with other people because they talk and ruin my concentration. I can watch with my mom out of sentimental value though, and she's nice enough to take interest in the goofy stuff I like.

I can and do sometimes, especially if it's a show/movie I like a lot...or if it derives from another medium like from book >>> movie, and I've read the book. Always interested in analyzing what was changed and why, etc.

There could be an entire discussion on what is "over"analyzing

So for example...
Was watching Blindspot
And that computer chick is the go to person for numeroligy deciphering and computer hacking.

She apparently can also be a doctor and knows how to diffuse a bomb & sounds like an expert when it comes to nitrogen and phosphorus and other chemical reactions.
RIDICULOUS...

Noticing that is that overanal or are the writers lazy?

plot analysis and hypotheticals like in Nolan movies to me are overrated
