I guess with some people they have a tendency to get attached to things, but when I'm at that point... generally I just say 'okay, I'll come back to it when it's finished and read up till the end,' and then go watch/read something that is worthwhile. But seriously, it's like I have SO MUCH stuff to watch/read/listen to, that I can just go and read something else super easily, so why should I bother criticizing something unless it is bad in a super interesting way? But then, I wouldn't consider myself a 'fan,' then, just a 'reader' or 'viewer.'
I guess if you have really specific tastes though? Like you want both fantasy and you want it to have a close m/m relationship so you can slash it or you demand pretty actors or there are certain genres you refuse to watch.
I think that does make sense, but if it's like a whole bunch of people are disgruntled, that means that you do have some compatriots. I mean, I'm in genuinely unpopular and nonexistent fandoms, so I feel all like 'eh, why not try and popularize something you LIKE instead?' Especially since a lot of US TV shows have hiatuses anyway.
LOL, for the community, I suppose. Let's join the monastary just so that we can make brandy with the rest of the monks and enjoy monastic life? XD
