Why do geeks get so passionate about TV shows, and why they don't like the second Matrix Movies.

Geeks often view their favorite sci-fi shows as a reality beyond realities. They delve into the philosophical world believing that the rules the shows portray are as the rules of reality truly are. They are often enthralled at first, taking in all of the absolute morality, justice, and philosophical truths offered by the show yet also shrouded in mystery. Then at some point the show must choose a direction to take, and at that point they show lays out the truths of the reality that the show is based on. At this point a geek has already invested heavily in creating their own reality about the show, one that they can even believe is more real that the one they live in. But suddenly the veil is pulled from their eyes, when they see the shows creator taking a different path with the base rules of the shows than they had themselves extrapolated. Believing that there world is more real and true to reality, they get angry. They have now had total control of their world pulled from them, and they often come to the conclusion that the show is simply wrong now and ruined. Thus the reason they can't like the second two matrix movies the way they should be loved. The matrix had to take a path to tell the story, and that path often didn't gel well with the inner reality geeks had spent so much time creating.
