I hadn't thought of it as "work".  I like series (both book and TV) where 
things are left to the imagination.  I like piecing together hints and then 
being totally blindsided (which Joss Whedon would do with alarming 
consistency in Buffy - he never got a chance with Firefly).  

I mean, if all the cards are on the table - then what's left for me to think 
about?
