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. There is a big difference between acknowledging flaws, and taking shots at the show every chance you get. There within the problem lies. And nothing will ever be 100% perfect to 100% of those that watch, read, listen, etc. to it. What you find as a flaw, I may find as an asset, and vice versa. And that's what makes us unique and that's why we have forums to share our differences and discuss and discover our similarities.

CoolDude, not on a personal note, but you can't argue away someone's thoughts, perspective and opinion. We all have different views even amongst ourselves internally. For example, I despise the Frozen inclusion, but the story was great, etc. Was it right to put Frozen in? No, not at all in my opnion, but I do see that it was right to do as a business move. Did it mess up or disturb the show in uncomfortable ways? Yes. But we all have different answers to these questions and we all have different questions that we pose.
