People used to listen to entire albums over and over again, each time getting new perspective on the music. And people re-read their favorite novels over and over again.
I think that’s what we’re doing with TV. We know what joke is coming, so we can watch other things in the background that we didn’t catch the first time.
At least that’s what I’ll tell myself on my fifth rewatch of SG1.
Yeah, I’m wrapping up my annual-ish rewatch of South Park and definitely enjoying all the little background things I never picked up on previously, and also the random plot points that have new meaning based on events that occurred after they originally aired.
I can see the logic in that. Nothing wrong with rewatching something with new perspective you had compared to the first go around. I just know people who have watched the Office an obscene amount of times, and personally I just can’t do it. I thought the Office was really funny, but not watch it every day for 10 years funny. That’s just me, though - obviously different strokes for different folks.
Also, damn I haven’t seen SG1 since I was a wee lad. So many good SciFi shows back then, I think I might have to rewatch it myself.
