Sometimes I wonder if people know how to enjoy, well, anything anymore. There are times it feels like I see more negative reactions toward shows and movies these days than positive. Using your example, I remember when people were first getting into Supernatural how excited and happy they were. It kind of irritated me because I was already "been there, done that." Plus they kept gushing about it on the Gateworld Shep whump thread, even comparing it to SGA and saying SPN had better whump. It got on my nerves so bad I almost ended up disliking the show.
Now I'm seeing nothing but the flip side, of people who once loved this show tearing into it. Which isn't to say they didn't have their reasons - I got rather bored of the show myself - but I found the complete one-eighty rather interesting after all the gushing, and kind of sad for the same reason.
