* It's gotten to the point that some fans are hoping that the show will be cancelled while it still has a modicum of dignity left, owing to the latest bit of Discontinuity in season 9, where it was revealed that [[spoiler: Reapers are actually angels]], a plot that not only violates the established show canon but also just makes no goddamn sense. This has gotten especially vehement reactions from roleplayers as it has completely changed their characterisations.
* ''So many'' people would like to ignore [[spoiler:Charlie Bradbury's]] death in late season 10, and that includes [[CreatorBacklash much of the cast and crew as well]] - besides the fact of it being a hugely egregious case of [[spoiler:BuryYourGays]], it was considered a massive case of CharacterDerailment enforced by show-runner Jeremy Carver (and Robert Singer) even when damn near ''everyone'' pointed out to him that it was stupid, that [[spoiler:Charlie could easily escape through the nearby window instead of cowering]], that the character's emotional response made zero sense, and most significantly that the fallout from in the next couple of episodes could still be achieved without [[spoiler:killing off Charlie]] at all. Notably, when asked about it at [=ComicCon=] that year, ''everyone else'' on the panel literally turned their backs on Carver and put him on the spot to show their absolute disapproval, with his attempted rationalising of the decision met by booing from the audience. The icing on the cake is that Kim Rhodes (who plays Sheriff Jody Mills) has stated point-blank that if the writers ever decide to bring Jody back just to kill her off like that, she will quit the show outright (forcing them to implement TheOtherDarrin) even if it means ''violating her contract and getting blacklisted for it''... The decision is ''that'' widely loathed, even by people who weren't fans of [[spoiler:Charlie]].
