"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."
Yeah. That's the feeling I got reading the negative reviews for TLA, that what they were expecting was the cartoon word for word, plot for plot. I went back to search for more positive reviews, found them, and I liked how they talked about going into the movie with an open mind, understanding that the movie wasn't going to be the cartoon. And for that reason, they were able to enjoy the movie (and some even liked the changes that were made).
"It's okay to watch something despite any flaws and allow whatever you're entertained by--to entertain you!"
Yes, exactly! :D Shows and movies are brain candy. They exist to entertain. Granted, the writers, directors,and actors should do their best, but in the end no show is going to be absolute perfection, and that's okay. There are things about SGA I'm unhappy about, but they're very minor complaints and overall have no influence on my enjoyment of the show. TLA had its issues, but it was so much fun to watch I didn't care.
