I do not get why shows seems to be hated when they do a huge story arc that stretch the entire season, or half a season, it's mostly the American audiences that seem to detest this and I don't understand it.
Very much yes, in terms of the expectations of mainstream audiences in America. I guess this partly explains the popularity here of superhero and action movies which, with rare exceptions, tend to be the same damn thing over and over; lots of explosions, a few cool quips, etc. (Although I know action movies from America are popular all over the world.)
I also really get irked at people who get angry when the story in a show doesn't go how they wanted it to go, or character development.
I enjoy reading BtVS fanfic, and sometimes speculating myself on "what if?" And I understand when a character that people love goes another direction, or when people really hate a certain development and feel let down. (The comics. I'll say no more.) But in terms of this show at least, when it comes to CANON (s1-7), I'm basically interested in the overall arcs of these characters and I can't say that I hate any of them, although I may dislike their actions at times. But the complexity is what makes them really interesting; if they didn't change we wouldn't still be talking about these shows.
