This time - thoughts after I have done the dishes

If we keep picking at the show we love, are we in danger of losing track of why we became fans of it in the first place?

No, I don't think so. I still keep coming across meta posts that contain points of view that I haven't seen before or meta posts that have made me re-think something in a different way. I see posts from newer fans that make me smile and remember what it was like watching the show as it aired. And I have read fanfic that's as wonderful as both BtVS and Ats and have found a few that I thought surpassed them.

I love reading new thoughts but when I see seemingly unending critiques of the show, characters and the writers where nothing positive is said, I do have to wonder why the author was a fan in the first place. Do they have something to prove or have they moved on?

I must admit that there are some days when I wonder the same thing.

Nope, because the fact the heroes in the show wern't perfect was the reason why I fell in love with it.
