Nickelback - I honestly and deep down like the music they produce while others mock them.

Maroon 5 - Similar with Nickelback, I don't hate there music.

Man Of Steel - I love every bit of that movie because I wanted fun and got fun even though people saw flaws. Yeah there where flaws but that wasn't my focus.

Formula 1 - Yeah people say it's a racing for rich folks but I don't look at the money side to it but more of the science behind it with the engine and aerodynamics and racing styles and overtaking moves while adapting to conditions and rule changes and elements.

Sky (as in the Digital TV Supplier) - Yeah as much as several people in the UK can bash Sky for being overpriced and greedy (they are right), they still do bring in great shows not just from the US but other countries and creating new content that main channels often forget about. And before OnDemand came in and became popular, Sky+ was and still is the best thing to happen to television. No more rushing home to miss a show, just sky+ it and series link and no more "oh my god i missed it".

Star Wars - I don't like Star Wars and never got into it no matter how hard I try. "Well you aren't a true geek/nerd if you don't like Stars Wars or Star Trek". I like Stargate, does that count and the only Star Trek I liked was Next Generation and Voyage and maybe a bit of Deep Space Nine.

Stargate: Are there any Stargate fans out there because I barely see any and I feel alone on that front. I love that show but many just either dismiss it or just say "it's too crappy".

I'm not so sure how unpopular this opinion is but I found Bioshock Infinite to be bizarrely bad when I should have liked it. There's not much I hate more than people thinking up this badass idea for a game/anime/whatever, start to put it into practice then phoning it in halfway through. Conversely I adore anything that carries all of its themes perfectly all the way through to its conclusion, see Persona 4.

Super nationalistic and religious floating city filled with racism? Cool, i'm down for that. Until it becomes clear that all those themes are nothing but pretty window dressing as the plot moves to this badly written Hypertime story and leaves all of its other themes behind. Sorry to use this badly abused and misused word but Bioshock Infinite is pretentious as hell and I hope I never have to use that word again.

So many bizarre design choices and badly missed opportunities are there too. Why is Booker such an idiot in the first 30 minutes of the game? Why does he ignore perfectly good warnings on what not to do that have clear ways to avoid those bad outcomes yet charges in blindly anyway? Plasmids are a clear carry over from Bioshock with how they clash badly with the universe as a whole and are hardly mentioned or used by anyone but Booker. Also the 2 weapon limit was retarded, the upgrades from vending machines were crap, new weapons halfway through pollute the weapon pool so you have even less ammo for the guns you want and god do not get me started on the ending. I have loads more but i'll try to stop here

Why is there a ghost? Really now. A fucking ghost.

But don't worry, all of the major plot holes and inconsistances within the universe can be explained by QUANTUM PHYSICS! Y'know? The card a writer pulls when his universe doesn't have access to magic?

Again, I wish I could like Bioshock Infinite, I really do. It just drops the ball on so many levels.
