I didn't list specific, scene-by-scene examples for everything but I was rather specific in my criticism. That was pattly for the sake of brevity, and also because there have also already been multiple examples made in this thread of the things I referred to, so I didn't think I needed to reiterate them. You even started by telling me, "I've seen examples of everything you've mentioned at one point or another," so it seems clear that you know what I'm talking about. And you still didn't even try to offer any substantive evidence of why you think I'm wrong, so why are you even replying to me? If you don't want to discuss the pros and cons of the show, fine, just don't reply to a specific post that attempts to do so. But if you want to discuss what you like or what you disagree with, be prepared to offer something more than "I think it's gotten better" and "we like what we like."
I'm really not trying to start a fight, I really just wanted to discuss the show, which is what I thought the point of this thread was. My opinion may by just my opinion, but I actually thought through what my issues with the show were, and tried to present them in a critical way. That's what criticism is. It has structure - there are criteria for why things are considered "good" or "bad." I'm not a professional critic or writer, but I am an educated person and I feel I understand enough about what criteria a good work of fiction should have.
Since you mentioned my issue with the acting, ai'll add some more detail. You say it's just opinion, that I could dislike a performance given by an actor while you think they're doing great. You're implying that the quality of an actor's performance is irrelevant, that it's entirely on the viewer to decide whether it's good or bad. There are quantifiable things that make actors performances good or bad. Things like their line delivery, msnerisms portrayed, whether they establish an enotional connection with the audience, and believability of their performance. These may be subject to opinion, but they are still things that can make or break a performance. I made a general criticism of the acting performances being bland because there are multiple performers who have been guilty of it on this show. Rosario Dawson has been mentioned in this thread as giving a lackluster performance, with little show of emotion, folding her arms over and over unnecessarily. As I said before, I since I was referencing something that has been brought up before, I didn't feel it was necessary to say it again. I find the actress playing Sabine to be lacking in believability as a warrior and as the "rebel" (no pun intended) she is made out to be. Her delivery of lines is also somewhat flat - as in, lacking believable emotion and vocal infection. The child actor playing Jason is the worst at delivering his lines in a believable way, though I refrained from calling him out since he is just a child. Whole I think Hayden Christisnsen's performance is better than his work in the prequels, his delivery still tends to sound slow and labored. Not as bad as the prequels (which he had received plenty of criticism for before) but not great either.
I also mentioned the writing as being partly at fault for the bland performances. The directing might have something to do with it too, but I'm not privy each director's choices. My issue with pacing also affects the acting (or vice-versa). There are conversation which have long pauses between each person's dialog. It's not something that only happens once, so there are many examples of it (Ahsoka's conversations tend to all fall into that category). So there are a lot of (what I refer to as) bland performances. There's also a lack of character development for most of the characters. Another example of writing influencing performance. If the actors had more to work with, they might give better performances. As I mentioned, there is a lot of unnecessary exposition - characters describing somthing that's going on in the scene that the audience can infer on their own, which is just bad dialog, and is impossible to deliver in a way that sounds natural, because people don't talk that way on real life. I can't offer specific examples right now because it happened a lot and I don't have a great memory for dislog, but I recall one instance in a recent episode where Hera described something needlessly. I know I could give examples if I rewatched the show, but isn't it enough that I described the issue?
Regardless, I don't know if you really wanted these specifics, since you seem ready to dismiss any critique as just an opinion. You can also probably see why I didn't go into detail before, as this post is pretty lengthy and I didn't even get to everything.
