When I am interested in something, I'm interested enough to look at it in depth and examine every point in it. And then I like to mention the continuity errors/other errors. But often people think I don't like a program because I've pointed out an issue, which is hugely distressing and Just Not True. I thought to start with that it was just because I hung around with non-geeks (aka my husband!) - but I've had people get upset in fandom about it, like because I'm pointing out an illogicality (is that a word?) I'm saying "this program is rubbish". If it were rubbish, I wouldn't be bothering to watch it closely enough to notice minor inaccuracies!

This comes to you apropos of having watched Partners In Crime again today with my son (who thankfully is a fellow geek and also, fortunately, likes having things pointed out to him!). ( just in case there are people on here who haven't seen it and don't want to be spoiled, this is a SPOILER CUT )
