After the OMG moments start to affect you less because you know what's coming, how do you think you'll like it? The problem with going for shock is that it really only works once - the first time.

When I first watched Citizen Kane, I was unspoiled for Rosebud so yes, I had a great "OMG, I never would have guessed it" moment. But knowing the identity of Rosebud now enhances the movie when I re-watch it because I understand the character of Charles Foster Kane better. The problem with Albany is that it doesn't enhance my understanding of Lucas. Albany contradicts my understanding of Lucas. I don't re-watch series 7 & 8 and think "Now, it all makes sense." Instead, I think I'm watching an entirely different character.

Repeated rewatches isn't my thing but if I do watch the series again I will thoroughly enjoy watching the emotional ride the three main characters took. As I said in my first post, the human psyche is a fascinating thing, something that could be contemplated until the cows came home and still never completely understood or appreciated.

Anyway, as someone else suggested I do, I'll get off the thread since my opinion is causing such a furore.
