Here's a question for everyone, and I'm posing it in the hopes that it provokes some discussion, so detailed answers/comments are most happily welcomed

If I pick up a book that is centered in, say, modern reality, but there's something wonky happening in the universe, I expect a detailed explanation.
If I pick a book which I know is going to be sci-fi or fantasy, any kind of explanation will do as long as you make it seem convincing, even if I know it's not possible.
Firstly yes, I am willing to suspend a lot of disbelief for fiction if it's presented in a way that doesn't seem like the writer is just copping out. If the story and characterizations are there, if everything else is working, then I can just accept weird things like city/human symbiotic relationships. Usually the long sciencey explanations make my eyes glaze over anyway. Again it depends on how it's handled, but I'm willing to bet you could write this and I would buy it 100%.
DOCTOR WHO. I don't know what you're talking about, I absolutely loved that episode and it MADE this half of the season for me. Holy shit I loved it. Great mix of humor, drama, epic badassery, and emotion. I'm easily pleased though, but no complaints here!!

That's really how I operate.
