sorry i'm still talking about reconstructions but i can't stop thinking about how they're kind of their own art form. it's not really television and it's not really audio drama, it's... powerpoint audio drama of television. which is a whole separate thing. like you would think that people who like big finish audio would also like reconstructions and vice versa, but that isn't always true. i've met plenty of people who love big finish but can't get into reconstructions because when they're listening to an audio play, they can imagine the visuals for themselves and can even have it on in the background while they do other things with their eyeballs. reconstructions supply some visuals for you (enough to kill the fun if you're someone who really values imagining everything yourself) and you have to look at the visuals to understand everything because it was originally a television episode that was built to be seen, so it requires your eyes in a way that audio drama doesn't. and i've known people who love reconstructions but can't get into big finish because it's a completely non-visual format that they just don't jive with. that's super interesting to me
