Maybe we're just getting different subsections of fandom, because I haven't seen a lot of people going "oh no, what's going to happen to Cecil and/or Carlos" who aren't just as quick to say "I'm so worried about Old Woman Josie" or "I can't wait to find out more about Dana" or "here are my theories about Kevin." It's an interest in character relationships/development in general, not just romance.

...and I'm curious about what part of Cecil's backstory wasn't weirdness-related enough for your preferences, because it seemed pretty saturated with it to me. Even the super-basic character detail of his full name came in the context of introducing himself to a mysterious force that has some unknown association with his radio job and mirrors.

"Cecil didn't mention Carlos this episode, time to panic!" does sound OTT.

Thing is, "Oh no, what if Strex kidnaps/tortures Carlos?" -- or the character-based Strex worries I've actually seen, which are all about Old Woman Josie and Cecil (and sometimes Kevin, depending on headcanon) -- just seem like they're coming from a viewpoint of "I like the weird stuff fine, but I want it to tie in with the characters I care about." Which feels about on par with "I like the character stuff fine, but I want it to tie in with the worldbuilding I'm interested in" as a way of approaching the canon, you know?

All that aside, I do sympathize when the complaint is "I wish more people were talking about the WtNV elements I'm interested in." Like, that's a legitimate thing to be frustrated about, whether everyone else's interests are valid or not.

(Come to nightvale_dogpark? We've discussed plot-related details for the last couple of episodes, and I'm sure people would respond well to more posts on the subject....)
