....You mean I have to watch television too? TFV! This is not fair! You never told me that!

You're probably right, though -- I can understand it intellectually, and when it gets laid out for me in words and concepts, absolutely; it's the marriage of the concept and the imagery that I fall down on. Like, I get all the explanations that you & cath & whoever that other person was gave me, and I can follow the line of argument—before or after watching. During? I'm scrambling. It's like the brain cannot process visual and non-visual/verbal information at the same time. (Which is kind of true: witness my ability to watch a movie or a TV show on DVD and be utterly unable to identify any of the actors ever after. I can probably recite half the lines after seeing it once. Words, I can do; images, not so much.)

::sigh:: Damnit.
