I usually only start watching a show because it sounds intriguing, so it’s rarely a case where I was expecting to hate it, I wouldn’t really bother with a show in the first place

Yeah, that was a slightly odd question, although I do know shows that either were follow-ons to shows people loved that disappointed them -- I know I lot of people who hated Legend of Korra for not being more like Avatar: the Last Airbender, e.g. Or shows that are adaptations of beloved books or continuations of beloved franchises, I guess. (My answer to this question would probably be Game of Thrones, which I do not HATE, but I did stop watching after season 1 and have no interest in returning to it based on the direction the show took.)

It can be a little awkward though if you do tell people what it directly translates as, I really don’t even think of its origins much any more *g*

Haha, yeah, I could see that XP

And I'm with you on liking bottle episodes -- I feel like, with less Cool New Thing and Flash Bang Stuff to distract the eye, the writing and the acting has to work harder, and so they often end up being interesting stories with some very memorable scenes.
