Their argument is actually one that wonders why some events are acceptable and some aren't.

Why? I still enjoy the show just fine. My politics also align more with the people who complain about the show even though I think there's a lot of histrionics regarding the reviews of the show this season (and last).
And that's why the thing that Stannis does is horrifying. It doesn't matter how certain he is because that strays clearly over the line of moral relativity — just because we can understand his state of mind doesn't mean we can excuse it. (Note that this is a continuation and not a refutation of your post)
The show made you feel something. That's what art is supposed to do. You felt angry and that's fine but directing that anger at the creators is weird since they clearly did a good job.
Not just practical use of weaponry but also tactics. Major knew to attack the front and then sweep back around to the side which let him surprise one of the zombies and take him out super easy.
He went "Full on Lillywhite"
That was basically my same path with Supernatural (a great 5 season show). It started off for me as a super guilty pleasure but morphed into some of the greatest storytelling on tv I've seen. The finale of Supernatural in season 5 is one of the best show endings I've ever EVER seen.
Bingo. All this stuff is basically magic with the rules the writers need to employ; the only important thing is that the rules never contradict each other even if we don't know all the rules up front. The zombie cure is probably also an inoculation, and Blaine trying to become a zombie again but being unable to do…
I don't think they were presented as particularly horrible. Major was clearly upset but he wasn't angry.
I'm satisfied with the raging we got last week .. especially when we contrast it to this week's cold blooded gut shot.
They didn't have to — David Anders has been woefully expendable in every role since Julian Sark. He's almost like the Sean Bean of television in that respect.
Suzuki's final act was to cover up the murders and thus his own involvement; it wasn't altruistic.
He gets the white guy discount, obvs.
It will be hard to keep it a secret when the zombie outbreak happens.
His name is actually a brilliant bit of characterization. He's designed to give you the impression of someone who would have the name MAJOR LILLYWHITE but then winds up being a total badass after a series of real challenges; revealing true character underneath characterization. His name is perfect.
Next season will be the zombie outbreak. The final moments of this season are the final moments that zombies get to stay in the shadows. Liv learned that she hurt too many people by keeping her secret and she can't hurt her brother by continuing to keep it either; even if it means his death.
I think @jhera35 above you (which I believe in this system means the post came after yours?) hit the nail on the head with regards to this.
I was super concerned about zombie fatigue before I knew anything about the show. Once I heard Rob Thomas was behind the camera on this one I was immediately sold.
Blaine made a convincing case that Liv would be irresponsible to kill him due to all the information he knows about the current zombie situation. Then he started going off about how it was awesome to be a zombie because he could lose all his lackeys and then just make more. Curing him was the obvious resolution to…
The family had to get it because that was the true ultimate challenge for Liv. The zombie cure would have been too easy of an out for everybody — she needed to make a real choice.
