This is a show a lot people liked last season, so they tune in for this season. You give it a few episodes to find it's rhythm, because hey, the creative force behind it obviously did something right his last time out. You give it a few chances, decide it's not that good, but by now you've invested five hours of an eight hour show, might as well stick around to see how it ends.

It's fine that you and others like it, but others don't (I'm personally in the middle). And people shouldn't act SHOCKED, yes SHOCKED, that the ones that don't are in here expressing their displeasure.
