That's a great story, but it doesn't describe what's happened in this thread, or any other thread where the fanboys flip out on me the very moment i start being critical. I'm not out here complaining about everything. Not even remotely close, and that's a fact. How many seasons have we had threads for this show? How many posts have I made in those threads? and what percentage of those posts were critical of the show? 5%? 8%? let's give you guys the benefit of the doubt and call it 10%. That would be one in every ten of my posts being critical of the show. Does that meet your definition of "Lewising"? No, no it does not.
This exact same thing happened when I started criticizing The Office on TOS, it happened when I started criticizing Peaky Blinders, it happened with Always Sunny, and it most recently and notably happened with Game of Thrones. I post in these threads for years, and as long as I'm enjoying the show then nobody has a problem with anything I say. But the very moment that I start to criticize the show I get bombarded the most childish and repetitive crap from all sides. "You must be miserable." "Who watches a show trying to find plot holes?" "Why do you even watch this show if you hate it so much?" "Oh yeah you know so much better than Vince Gilligan." It's all completely fucking stupid and childish and blatantly butthurt shit like that, *the moment* I become critical. not after i "constantly criticize everything" like your pal Lewis- it happens as soon as I dare to not slurp the show.
Here's the real phenomenon on display here- groupthink. Because there's a whole bunch of people in this thread who freak out at any criticism of the show, and only one of me, you guys blindly convince yourselves that " we have more numbers therefore we must be right", reality be damned. Look at all of the pos rep your post got as if it accurately describes what's happened here, when in reality the overwhelming majority of the posts I've made about this show have been 0% critical. That's not "Lewising", this is just typical shaggy/surly groupthink. "because we all agree with each other, we must be right."
the truth is that if i actually were "constantly criticizing everything" then i'd stop watching whatever show it was. that's what happened with PB. i stopped enjoying it in S2, and i stopped watching and posting about it right then and there. With The Office and Always Sunny, my at-the-time controversial opinions actually ended up being accepted by pretty much everyone else in the end. The same goes for GoT x1,000,000, or has everyone already forgotten what happened when I criticized S8E1 and multiple people *literally* asked immamac to ban me from the thread for it. how did that one end up??? oh yeah, i also just remembered that the same thing happened *the very first time* i criticized Rick and Morty. never said a bad word about the show, in fact I openly gushed over it, but then i don't like S4E1 and people literally ask immamac to ban me from the thread for it. it's the exact same routine over and over.
as far as this show goes, there's nothing left to say that i haven't already laid out in plain terms. i like this show. i like it a lot. i like the show runners, i like the BB universe, I like the actors, I like the story, and the majority of my posts over the years reflect that. i'm invested in this show, from it's inception until we see the end of it. that does not mean that i am going to like every episode, or in this case, *one character decision from one single episode*. It was stupid as shit for Saul and Mike to set out on foot in the middle of the desert, during the day, with no shade, almost no water, and no cover in case the man pursuing them actually found them. that was a stupid decision in my opinion. that's it. you want to derail the thread over that? fine. do it. and then keep making posts about when i'm not even here. complain about things that i might hypothetically do in this thread. keep doing what you always do. but don't fool yourselves for even one second that this is anything other than *you all* choosing to make mountains out of molehills because you can't handle it when I don't like some feature of the show.
