One thing I still don't find logical in this setting is the role of the critic.
Okay, you don't like the show. Okay fine, we get that.
*months pass*
Okay you still don't like this show. Why are you still watching it than?
"Because I am a critic."
Why?!
Why do you feel the need to be a critic? Watching something you don't like on your own time and posting about why you don't like it? It isn't like you are going to get paid to be a critic here, nor is it likely to gain you anything in particular.
It doesn't sound logical to spend ones time, spending hours even, watching something one doesn't like over and over again for months at a time, just to go around telling people why you don't like it...sometimes in detail. Especially if one is not getting paid to do it.
I can understand doing this for a few episodes because you are not sure what you are getting into, or changing one's mind later in a season because a show they liked turned to crap, but why subject oneself to something they know they don't like even before watching even one episode? Again, without pay.
Is there some hidden enjoyment I am missing?
