Arm-Chair Social Science (NB): I think that binge-watchable media when binge-watched does affect the viewer, you become part of the cast of characters as a social group - or perhaps your mind thinks so.

Really annoys my wife, every time I walk in the door I get the lecture - "Your too damn old to be walking around with wind, fire, all that kind of thing..."

- SolaceQuantum 8y agoI think it's many immersions into media that can produce this. There's a study running around that we experience media as if we were physically there.
