How are you to know that you like a show before seeing a particular episode? Or is your idea that if you don't like a particular episode, you should refrain from posting in the fan-thread for that week? I like the series, but it has flaws, certain episodes much more so than others. To pretend that they don't exist is a bit rose-colored-glasses-ish. [Nice word, Charlie.] Everyone draws the line differently on what flaws will bother them. Just as you are asking people to not ruin your enjoyment of the show, you should respect their opinions and enjoyment of the show in talking about it critically.
That said, I agree that sometimes certain opinions here bother me because they are repetitive or amount to "the show sucked. it's the same suckiness as it's always been." I don't think that adds much to the thread, but who am I to tell someone they shouldn't post? I just skip those posts and move on. I think maybe people are expecting the thread to be full of people like themselves. In reality, the internet is closer to real life. I'm guessing the people that annoy you in this thread would probably annoy you in real life.
