You really can analyse anything

I was thinking this yesterday while watching the latest episode of Linkara's 'History of the Power Rangers'. I never watched Power Rangers, but it is interesting to see an analysis from the perspective of a fan. If you can do a serious analysis of Power Rangers, I think you can analyse anything if you're passionate enough about it. I guess it comes down to fans reading more into things than the writers intended, or that certain themes will crop up even if the writers didn't intend them. Six months ago I was an English lit student, so my mind has been trained to analyse not only books, but pretty much any story. I think it's good to look at fiction this way, I think analysis can often make something more enjoyable, because you enjoy it on more than one level.
