I attended Jason Mittell's talk on "The Case of Television Storytelling in the Digital Era" on Saturday. He spoke about how the nature of television shows is changing from a more passive medium to a more interactive one. This is what I am writing my midterm project on, so it was very interesting to me. Mittell spoke about the need for "storyworld consistency", which means that shows have to avoid contradictions and hold the storyline together. Mittell argues that this is increasingly important because viewers are becoming more and more involved with the shows they watch.
