We aren't being forced. We just are not going to pretend it is great just to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

This is like complaining that Bears fans watched a whole season of us going 3-13 and mostly criticized. Well yeah because it sucked. Don't recall you or anyone complaining about why we are criticizing a bad team or why we don't just stop watching football. So not sure the issue here. Many of us loved the show and wanted to see it end on a high note. It isn't thus far and the criticism is entirely fair. So unless you related to Dumb and Dumber not sure what your issue is. The purpose of this thread is to watch the show and comment. You instead seem to be more concerned about how other people feel and want to make it about the people who you disagree with.

This must be like hell for you, I am so sorry you are being forced to endure such agony. Gosh bless.

I'm guessing you guys are talking to numbers?

The best thing about this new setup is that when you ignore people, not only do you not even see that they've posted, you don't even see their post quoted by other people. They completely disappear. ?

lemme guess, he's complaining about us complaining about the show?

You mean why would people who have watched a show, that has been good to outstanding, for the past 9 years be frustrated with it when the home stretch is a slow moving train wreck?

For real?

I'm am so sorry for the excruciating pain you must endure.

Hey 51, slightly off topic here but I need a quick recommendation for a good restaurant. The problem is my previous favorite got a new chef that just sucks, I've been going there for the last 8 years but that last meal I had was terrible. Not going to waste any more time on them, I can't imagine why I'd ever go back, it would just be something to complain about.

I am just going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say this is performance art. That or he broke into TBD's stash of Jack Daniels.

To tag on to this, over the years how many programs have you stopped watching because...bad? Do you keep watching and complain or move on? Asking for a friend.

Guess it depends on whether there are 2 episodes left in the entire show or not. Not sure the point of quitting at this point.

Switching gears the latest spoilers are even worse. So many characters acting out of character.

I almost wonder if the showrunners are fucking with us and after these episodes thry will release the real Season 8 episodes.

You must continue eating the garbage so you can see the ultimate demise of the restaurant. But that is not enough, you must document your misery in grueling detail. Complaining on the internet and sharing your grueling heartbreak about a coffee cup and lame military strategy is must read premium content.

@remydat gets it, don't be a quitter.

Guys, stop discussing the show unless you agree with every creative decision for season 8.

It is common courtesy.

Or ignore that even with it's obvious flaws, it's still great TV. Absolutely mention the flaws, discuss them and get the **** over with it.

Or just drone on for days about military formations, because that's always fun.

If it annoys you, the rest of us will stop talking about it.

I don't want you to be bothered by us discussing stuff for too long and irritating you.

No one watches bad TV to see how it ends, it is either overall worth watching or it isn't. They are still watching so they still like the show even with it's flaws, but complaining about the show is so much cooler.

But what monster is forcing you to watch this terrible show against your will? Oh, you still like the show but you love complaining on the internet even more, cool.
