and making people who liked the stuff you don't unhappy.
Yeah, that's their problem. Like you said, you're not going over to their journals and harshing their squee; you're writing about it in your space, and you are being critical, in the analytic sense of the word. Honestly, I'd say you don't even owe fandom that. There is no obligation to deconstruct one's preferences; it depends on why and how people want to interact with the show. I mean, scientifically speaking, there are facts, and then there are opinions about facts. TV critiques are mostly the latter. But I also think that it is possible within the shifting sands of subjectivity for one to defend against an attack of "you're just a hater" with evidence to the contrary, and I think you've got that argument covered pretty well.
