The most important part of make believe is for the make believe to follow its own internal logic. Make believe or fiction can be as fantastical as the writer wants as long as it as coherent internal logic and it still can create drama and verisimilitude. When a piece of fiction fails to either establish or adhere to a set of internal rules then verisimilitude is lost which destroys the drama that is necessary for good story telling.
It's why my wife hated Prison Break after a while.
