That's a good point - and I'm conscious of not crossing that line myself. Like, I feel if something sells out or declines in quality, a fan is entitled to call it out as such. Slinking away in silence is accepting 'less than' and so yeah, to a point speak up and say this isn't good enough.
But personally, having reached this breaking point (having flirted with it throughout s7) I don't want to watch something just to be mean. If some people are still enjoying it fine, but I suppose my question here is how are people enjoying it in spite of certain issues - that's just pure curiosity on my part (and yes, a little sadness that I can't overlook some stuff and still enjoy it).
I hope that my criticism in recent days hasn't been taken personally by remaining fans though, amongst my friends at least. But I like to think I'm open to criticism of things I like without it ruining my own affection for it, so... :)
