Sometimes I think this might have something to do with the whole Death of the Author thing, which (IMO) too many people seem to take as an excuse for sloppy reading and simply not paying attention to the text as a whole, and instead take the bits they like and forget about everything else. Which is an attitude that personally I don't understand because for one thing I tend to find authors interesting, and for another not all interpretations are equally valid - especially not those that blithely ignore context and whole parts of canon.
The one time I came close to almost apologising to myself and everyone else that I was still watching the show every time I wrote about it was with Andromeda, but even then it was the premise of the show itself and the relationship between the characters that kept me fascinated - that is, until it got so bad that I finally stopped watching.
