Negative on the Negative on TV.com

I've done a fair amount of reviews on TV.com and I've noticed a bit of a pattern.  It seems like lots of people disagree with negative reviews but lots of people agree with positive reviews.

What a bunch of whinny babies.

If I thought people actually read my reviews, that would be a different story, but it's much easier to click a button than have a discussion.  If I brought up points they disagreed with, they know how to reach me.  But no, they disagree or agree because they're fans.

I loathe this kind of mentality.  It completely removes any bias and people are unable to critique shows they enjoy.  There are plenty of shows I enjoy but that doesn't mean I turn off my brain or refuse to notice when the show screws up.  The best way you can praise a show is to respect it enough to pay attention to its strengths and weaknesses. 

Seriously, for all the people that thought the season finale of Veronica Mars: Season 2 or tonight's episode of House were brilliant, there is something wrong with your brain.  Unfortunately for you, there is no agree/disagree button for this post.
