Just because I don't go around and give praise for every lazy thing they've done doesn't mean I don't like it. When the show is good, it's really good and when it's bad, it's really bad, which makes me understand why people can feel frustrated with it sometimes. I am mostly angry because I can see all the potential they have. A&E are not bad writers, they did give us S1 and a lot of original adaptations of stories we used to know (like Peter Pan - what they did was something that was original and wasn't done before), so I get really angry when they become lazy, when plot doesn't make sense or when characters are just there as instruments ti move the plot along even if it means compromising their development. If I didn't like it then I wouldnt be so passionate about it. Sorry that I don't want to shut my brains off when I want to be entertained or that I have high standards as to what I what I watch, listen or read or that I don't buy the distractions that the show gives its audience to deflect their attention to what it does badly. It's perfectly fine.

I understand the whole "Just don't think about it" mentality when watching the show, so it's fine that you see the good and the bad. Many here and elsewhere may get a bit uppity at the show because they know that the show has tons of LOST Potential and depending on the perspective, it's being wasted or underutilized.

It's reminescent to a podcast or two I heard about Once: They were quite upset with 5a and the finale, but they were still fans and confirmed as such. It's just that there are things some people just won't like or accept and that's what makes us unique.
