This is emphatically not what I said. Sorry. I was responding at 3AM so I just misinterpreted what you were saying. I thought you meant TV didn't have to meet any artistic criteria.
He didn't even try. Unless we are to assume he did and 2007 was just so terribly stifling that it was completely impossible to fight for a better life there. You are right, 2007 got the shaft because the writer wanted him back in 1973. I think they tried to show the struggle in the lack of an anchor for him, though. Sam says to the woman, "It helps to talk about it." but he's only been talking into a tape recorder and the woman he is really speaking to doesn't seem to want him to talk about it any more. His mom basically offers up a platitude. Talking to Annie is what made 1973 real. There was no one talking him out of his delusion in 2006, no one telling him there was a purpose or a point in him being there. No one telling him to believe in and trust the world around him. He is unable to fight without those two things.
how boring would discussions be if we all agreed on everything all the time?! ;-) Ridiculously boring! I'm so happy you're indulging me like this, I rarely comment in lj's because people get offended and/or rude when there is a disagreement.
