Jeez. You know, these sorts of reviews annoy me. And many of you will disagree with my opinion on this, but whatever.
I know they're supposed to be critical, but seriously. I'm not watching the show for its literary value. Do the nasty reviews actually do anything besides lower morale? I mean, even if there is a bad episode, I'm still going to come back next week for more. I guess they could serve to *motivate* the writers, but the writers are only human. Sometimes they'll hit, sometimes miss, sometimes (usually) both.
tl;dr - Just relax and enjoy the show for what it's worth. When it's gone, you'll be sad and miss it. A lot. So enjoy it now!
The point of the blog is for the reviewers to share their opinions and invite other people to share thiers. If I don't like something, it would just plain be lazy writing of me to go "I didn't like it, but maybe it'll be better next week". I want to actually discuss the episode and what I did or didn't like about it, and I'm willing to listen to people who disagree with me.
And I critise my show because I DO love it. And because I love it, I know it should and can be better than this. It's like that expression, you're harder on the ones you love.
As far as motivating the writers, I'm not so egotistical to believe the writers at CM actually read my little review.
