I think those who are 'passionate' view things with too much a critical eye, dissecting things to the point they suck all the enjoyment out of anything. It's one of the reasons why I stopped doing too many reviews of shows on my LJ because I realized this trap a few years ago.
It's okay to watch something despite any flaws and allow whatever you're entertained by--to entertain you! Between SGA and SPN 'fans' tearing apart the shows, I stepped away--except in rare occasions. I do react to other LJ reviews, but for the most part—just sit back and have fun.
