I thought
Man: What did you think of last night's lecture?
Woman: I thought it was terribly interesting.
Man: I enjoyed it too, though it was a bit too long.
It seems to me that the woman didn't like the lecture because we sometimes say " I thought ..." to mean that something is not what you expect to see, just like an unreal statement going an opposite way.
My second question is, can she say "I think" instead of " I thought"? What is the difference? Please help with these two questions. Thanks.

LcchangIt seems to me that the woman didn't like the lectureNo. That's not correct.
