Ok, obviously everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I would expect
everyone here to know the difference between fact and outright bullshit
(not to mention bad acting, terrible writing, etc). If anyone here were
to express a favorable opinion of that show then I'd be highly skeptical
of that person's ownership of a brain.
So being that its a long shot anyone would actually say they liked that
atrocity, I felt safe in making an outlandish threat to verbally assault
with prejudice anyone who expressed such a liking. But don't think I
won't do it either.
The fact remains, this show was terrible, and I could not adequately
express in words the utter contempt I felt for it, so I spewed. It was
too much to hold in.
