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.

I agree. I've even been starting my posts by saying I liked the episode just to appease the fanboys to which this show can do no wrong. I really do like the show or I wouldn't watch it weekly. I said earlier in the season the young girls weren't good actors but really mediocre acting kind of comes with the series as most of the really good actors in the show were killed off in the 2nd season. Quality acting isn't a reason to tune into this show.
Bad acting and kids handling guns like they were pros aside the episode hit the mark but I'm in agreement with the article below that maybe they went too far with the killing of the kids. Going somewhere this dark doesn't really fit this show and it almost feels like they went out of their way to create some controversy.
