I hated BB7 too, and for that matter BBs 6 and 5. 4 was dull but tolerable. BB8 made me swear I'd never watch again. But now I'm glad I have and I'm not ashamed of it any more.

They're being tough on out of order behaviour and they are behaving very responsibly. The show will regain some credibility through this if they keep it up.
