As I told her, I should have prefaced the post with: "I am really excited about this show, and I put a lot of trust in Whedon, and I'm willing to watch all 13 episodes before saying yea or nay. And even if I say nay I'll probably still watch it, because it's Faith I mean Dushku." These were my impressions of the pilot, which I do want to form a judgment on, but not on the whole series, on which I'd like to reserve judgment just yet ;o) These were just potential problems I saw.
I don't have to have a show have everything right to enjoy it either; witness the troubles with BtVS I mentioned in the post, and that was only about a third of what was really wrong with the show. But BtVS is still my favorite show ever, and I don't think it can get much better. Except for maybe Disney's Gargoyles (problematic in the extreme!) or BSG (varies).
I like to talk objectively about how things could be better, or what is wrong, but it doesn't always have bearing on my enjoyment. For instance I've also seen shows I can't nitpick at all which I just don't like (Law and Order).
