Well, the interesting thing about both ME shows is how much the text of the shows and the characters themselves are open to interpretation. This is what gives the characters their complexity and realism (that all interpretations are at the same time true of the characters and at the same time all overgeneralizations), and this is what makes the show so fascinating and frustrating to debate over on the board(s).
And it's what makes people on the board get uncomfortable and snippety with posters like Claudia who want to back up their arguments with, "Well almost everyone I talked to believed X or saw it as Y". Perception is everything on shows like this, and perception (interpretation) occurs through the lens of our own personal experience with things.
