I thought we are were discussing a TV show we all enjoy.  What scenes we liked in an episode and why.  How an actor used a turn of phrase to best advantage.  What the writers cooked up to move a storyline forward. 

Not what happened to a non-existent dog after a fictional character became a ghost and that was only used as a plot device to flesh out said ghost.  I just can't get into the fan fiction stuff of what happens when the TV set is turned off at all.  TV show itself, yes.  🤷‍♂️

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think most people limit themselves to just that.  We make comments and observations, to which it's just not relevant that this is simply a TV show that someone wrote.  If someone wants to discuss what would happen to this dog in a hypothetical world that looks like the world of the show, what difference does it make that this world is not real?  I am not interested in discussing the dog, but I appreciate that someone brought up the thought.  Why not?  It's all good.

This is basically Doylean or Doylist vs. Watsonian analysis. A lot of people fall somewhere between, taking a bit of both.
