Right. The subtext. Forget the awesome fight scenes and engaging characters, we watch this show for the lesbians.[/sarcasm]
Yuri by itself is not a problem. But when the writers derail the plot to include yuri fanservice just to appease the fanboys, it sure as hell becomes one. StrikerS wasted its time pandering to the yuri fans when they could have been giving us more of those awesome fight scenes that attracted most of us to the series in the first place.

This is why I hate shippers/animesuki...
I can nullify that argument with one word: Vivio. Not that I don't like the kid, but half the reason for her existence was "Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama". Also, rewiring the script to focus on the old crowd again after they tried to set the focus on the Forwards. You know the last show that did that so far as I can recall (Force aside)? Gundam SEED Destiny.
