move out and draw fire
Really, my ONLY point was that negative feelings about a show/movie/book do not necessarily imply an inability to contribute to a discussion of said work in an intelligent and worthwhile fashion.
Wrod. (See tag line). In fact, sometimes I think it helps. TV shows, like books and movies, are fully constructed things. What's shown and not shown are both active choices. Criticism should be just as active a creative process: instead of saying "BuffyNAngle4EVAH!!!1!" tell me why that relationship was more compelling than Buffy/Riley or Buffy/Spike.
I've felt a bit of community pressure to never say anything negative about the ME shows, but not a lot. This group, unlike most other people/groups I know, never says, "Gawd, why can't you just sit there and watch the show without thinking?!?" I have definitely felt pressure to avoid saying negative stuff about Tim's shows, but I think that's because he's a Buffista and we tend to avoid saying negative stuff about each other's work.
However, as we know, there's a difference between, "UR SHOW SUX" and (not a Tim-show ref) "Her character would never have done that in the first season. We never saw anything that indicated she'd changed. Why is she doing that now?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, I remember the furor when Billy aired. Good times, and I'm not being sarcastic. Tim can and will go to the mat if he cares to, and he got laid into more than once about Angel.
I also remember Totem Mole being bitched about, and maybe also Safety Canary. No reason for people to stop being honest now.

I can't recall... what was the point at issue in "Safety Canary"?
