GOOD FANTASY VS. THE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF
“What really happens is that the storymaker proves a successful ‘sub-creator’. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed.” – On Fairy-stories

based on what I have heard and on what the Tolkien Geek this was the episode where many people have written off the whole series, and decided not to watch it anymore. Watch the Tolkien Geek’s video review on episode 5. Love his rant!
