Explain this concept. It sounds like semantics and wordplay from here. Nuances would almost certainly have to be subjective, which can be seen as either good or bad, depending on your perspective, right? Do I have to be in position to see a nuance as good to be a real fan? Do I, as a fan, naturally see nuances as good, because my perspective as a fan supercedes all other judgment?
I read complaints in here all the time from the less "passionate" about it, and believe or not, many times I agree with them. I just find it annoying when someone disagrees with the more rabid "criticize for the sake of being critical" people in here, or someone else presents an alternate take on the matter, they almost take it personally, as if by giving another side or view to the issue being discussed, they are being given some kind of personal affront. THAT'S when it gets annoying. THAT'S when it turns from a discussion about the episode, and turns into a "who can humiliate the show and those who disagree with us" competition.
I don't mind it. Just keep it in the gripes thread where that shat belongs. Have you EVER seen me post in there?
And all this by a mod, no less.
Trust me, I have questions about certain things about the show that even the Negatives in here haven't touched on yet. Then, I realize this is just a TV show, and I allow it to take me where it wants to take me. If I don't like it when I get there, then I'll get off, just as I did with Smallville. Complaining about the "trip" every step of the way just kills and makes you overlook whatever else there is that might be redeeming about the show.
I work with deep logic everyday. I'm ok with leaving some logic behind, when it comes to my entertainment. Sometimes, it just isn't supposed to be. That is, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous.
Imagine TV when you were a kid. Can you imagine being able to enjoy what you enjoyed then, if you had the same kind of critical bent Matt and others like him have had for Heroes?
I guess when I watch TV, I turn into that kid again. Think what you will of it, but isn't that the point? If you can't relax and leave the world behind when you sit in front of a show, then don't. Simple.
