I didn't mention other people's negative opinions about the show's killing off characters because they're watching it. I guess I just don't see the point of you posting about a show you're not even watching.
And I think I did try to explain that I don't think this show kills off characters for shock value alone. Just because a few of us are in shock doesn't mean the deaths were gratuitous. I'm in shock because the nature of some of the deaths in last night's episode change my own theories about where the story is ultimately going. In the long view, that's actually a good thing. It means the writers are a few more steps ahead of me than I had previously thought.
But whatever. I wasn't trying to kick you out or anything -- I honestly just don't get why you'd post strong opinions in a thread about a show you don't watch. When I reread your original post, it still sounds dismissive to me. It didn't sound as if you were curious about the show at all. You already have formed opinions about it. And that's fine, too. I *don't* watch certain shows based on the hearsay of others. We all do that. Not a big deal.
But I don't go so far as to post generic negative opinions about shows like it in that show's thread if I'm not even watching that show. "Hey, this show you guys have been discussing forever? Well, I don't watch it. I won't watch it. And I hate when shows do things just like this one does! Carry on!"
Whatever.
