Just seems like unnecessary complaining. I again, thought they were fine for who they were and what their role was.

While I agree that the show took a dark and interesting turn last night, and was one of the more emotionally powerful segments in the series, I was distracted by what has generally been poor performances by Sarbino and Kenedy. I have seen numerous performances by actors of their age and many are much better than what I saw last night. Lizzie pleading with Carol about how sorry she was just looked, well, kind of ridiculous. It wasn't convincing, and I felt it took away from the impact of the scene and the episode as a whole. That is just one example.
With that reasoning, the "complaining" is not unnecessary at all, as the goal of any program is to entertain the viewer. That performance diminished my enjoyment, and it is a rational complaint to have.
Look, I get it, sometimes it seems like people only come in here to attack a show you obviously like and enjoy. I like the show too, but not as much as I did 2 years ago and it is showing in my posting habits. Frankly, I'm going to critique the show when I feel it isn't achieving my standards (which are only different, not better, than anyone else's). I don't mind debating my points, but I don't see how they should be labeled as complaining for the sake of it.
