Er... I'm not sure I understand your reasoning. Most of everything isn't great, so people shouldn't be disappointed about anything they find underwhelming?

I know Sherlock isn't ACD and wasn't meant to be. I'm not sure why it's wrong to wish for a Sherlock that was both fun AND clever, though? I'm not saying clever in exactly the way that ACD Holmes was, I'm talking about a modern AU show that intelligently written as well as entertaining. I understand that many old-school fans will be down on Sherlock no matter what, but you know... at the same time, a lot of Sherlock fans are simply butthurt that people are pointing out the show they love has problems with weak plots and writing.

I don't mind that you're in it solely for the fun. Why do you mind that I'd like it to be more clever?

i don't mind. you can think or want what you want. i just don't understand it. people bitch all the time about it not being clever, and i don't get why they don't just get over it. the show is what it is, watch it if you like it, don't if you don't.

You clearly do mind. And when canon Holmes fans are constantly being pressed by BBC fans with "love this, love this, love this, why do you not love this?" it's pretty darn wearing for us, I can tell you.

[(Anonymous)]

i don't mind. i promise. :)

[(Anonymous)]

And then when you explain why you don't love it, they get butthurt. After they asked you why you don't love it...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Or they get slightly passive-aggressive about why you can't just "get over it" because your criticism of their beloved show is bothering them.

Because...you asked. You asked "why do people want it to be clever?" And someone said, "these are my reasons," and now you're all, "but why do you have to go on about it."

You asked to explain and you don't like the explanation and now you are complaining about it.

Okay. I don't think it's a difficult concept to grasp, though. Surely there are things you dislike that other people like? Or more relevant to the topic, you seem to dislike the fact that people want something more out of Sherlock than what you're content with. But you haven't gotten over it, 'cause here you are, discussing it. You know your own motivations for doing so, of course, so why is it hard to understand that other people feel the same way about things you like?
