First,
Call it what you want DH, that was trolling.
Second: I don't believe any rational person thinks everything about TWD is great, all the time, every episode. Hell, I rip on poorly done scenes, inconsistent characterization (when it suits the writers needs of the moment) and highly implausible actions taken by TWD characters all the time. As do quite a few others here. For example: I can recall about a half-dozen of us were ready to vomit after the Gov's seemingly effortless capture of Andrea. It didn't make sense, still doesn't, NEVER WILL.
Finally, the show's warts and boils don't prelude it from being one of the few entertaining things on TV these days...or far and away the best zombie-related content to be framed in a TV show. (The artsy types can rave about crap like In the Flesh all they want, it was preachy, heavy-handed, and melodramatic. Everything bad about TWD, except thats ALL it was, 100% of the time.)
TWD, on the other hand, is for the most part an enjoyable, sometimes even dramatic, romp through the zombie apocalypse. I mean what are you looking for, Citizen Kane with rotting people? The genre is by nature limited to a specific spectra of tropes, and any fan of zombie movies/books/comics etc accepts this, while acknowledging when necessary the limitations of various offerings when it seems like the creators aren't giving 100% anymore. (Romero, I'm looking at you. Can't hack it anymore, so you rip on those that can. How classy ::rolls eyes:
So honestly, there's no credible basis for implying the HPOTD crowd are mindless fanboys/fangals. If they were a) I wouldn't still be here, and b) My mockery would be writ large across many threads before being moderated into cyber-oblivion.
If you have a SPECIFIC complaint with TWD's recent offerings you'd like to DISCUSS, great. Otherwise, jam that self-serving "Mea Culpa" up your rectum sideways and get off this forum before you awaken sleeping dragons.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
