So you like the parts that you like, and dislike the rest. This isn't a conflict, it's a tautology. There's something about it that fulfils you in a way that its absence does not.

It's like re-reading the books I read as a kid is for me. When I was ten, I liked Piers Anthony. I sometimes re-read some of those books as an adult for the nostalgia factor. Yes, I think I could write it better than the author did. Yes, the books are rubbish. But I'm still fulfilled by that nostalgia factor and anybody who has a problem with that can lick my sweaty ball sack.
