Um, no, I don’t do it “just to be individual or something”, I actually AM an individual. The fact that I don’t follow the critics like a sheep is what MAKES me an individual.

And in this case, I didn’t so much differ from the critics as see it differently. I agreed it was a good episode, it just wasn’tt — in my opinion — as great as they were drumming it up to be.

I’m a strong believer that all too often, the CRITICS are the ones who become sheep. God forbid they admit to liking something like Crowned which was, for what it was, extremely entertaning. Was it Emmy-worthy television? Not by a long shot. Was it fun ? Without doubt. But again, as with any critic’s opinion, the words “to me” always, always, always have to be inferred.

I watched the first episode of Eli Stone and while it wasn’t horrible I don’t really care much for watered down spirituality, everything is god, blah blah blah. It came off as really shallow to me and that can get old pretty fast. Maybe they’ll tone it down in future episodes. If it is on after Lost I’ll likely forget to turn off the tv and find out for myself.
