There are probably some people who are being dicks about it, and it somewhat depends on context as well - but I don't think it's generally bad or pretentious, I think it's usually fine. Its an interesting kind of expertise that I like hearing about.

Oh, I don't think they're trying to be dicks about it, though. The whole "I don't mind so nobody should mind" isn't explicit, just... lightly implied. It feels... I'm not sure pretentious is the word. Maybe a little presumptuous? In a well intentioned way. I enjoy hearing feedback from experts about how historically accurate or inaccurate something is, but regardless of whether or not that expert enjoyed the media, people can and should make up their own minds.

But they're not talking about their expertise? Or at least, that's not the scenario the secret described. Just showing up in a thread where people are taking issue with historical accuracy in The Tudors and saying they have a degree in medieval history and they love that show and don't care about the inaccuracies does feel a little bit like they think that their credentials means that their opinion holds more weight.
