I pretty much agree with your assessment ('a fairly mediocre show, with some good episodes'), but am happy watching it as it comes out. If nothing else it puts some of the stuff in my flist in context.

I agree intellectually with this assessment - but I enjoy DW quite disproportionately, and the question of "why" occasionally bothers me. There's been only a handful of episodes that I didn't find sparkly - even as I recognised their flaws - but there's only a handful that I'd want to watch again.

'sweird.

I wouldn't call that a bad thing. Enjoy.

I think I've got more right to be defensive about not liking it as much as I feel I should than you have to feel defensive about liking it more than you think you should.

I'm going to apply this to every fannish "controversy" I come across from now on.

But, I did realise on the way home, that it's about the only family-friendly SF show currently running on television, so it still has that.
