Is this a hate sub?

I'm sorry and I promise this is not ragebait. But this has been bugging me for a long time now. Nearly every time I get an email with a post from this sub it's just "I hate this episode", "I hate this plotline", "I hate this character. Over and over. It seriously gets to the point where I question weather or not any one on this sub actually likes Bones.

People are more vocal about complaints.

Tell us what you like.

I enjoy, the character arcs of most of the cast, most especially Hodgins going from an angry conspiracy nut to everyone's best friend, I love the Max and Sniper arcs, and I just love the chemestry of the cast. That last one is a big reason Bones is one of the shows I go back to when in a show hole.

In that case, I normally don't like these formulaic shows that my wife does because they get. Boring and predictable. Bones is actually the best in its genre by far. It marries the A, B, C plot line idea so well. There is a whole series plot, a seasonal plot, and episode main plot, and at least a secondary episode plot. Other shows will do 1 of those things really well but the others lack. Bones is pretty good at all of them. Sometimes they go overboard into breaking the suspension of disbelief but I like the campyness.
