Actually I think she has a point -- she's not saying don't watch the show for the slash, she's just saying 'Don't come to a show with expectations', which I think is fair.

For example, I originally hated House and Buffy the TV show because I came to House expecting it to be high drama, and I came to Buffy expecting it to be like the movie. When neither one meassured up, I didn't watch them. Later, I sat down and accepted House as a soap opera with a big budget and enjoyed it, and watched Buffy as its own show, not as a continuation of the (fantastically awesome) movie.

I think if someone said to me "I don't want to watch ____ because there's no one to slash" I think I'd stare at them for a moment and walk away. And that's as an avid slash reader/writer.

I don't think she was saying it's wrong to slash or to watch a show from the slash perspective -- just that going INTO a show for the first time, don't pre-judge it. People who say they won't try something because they have a pre-conceived notion drive me crazy.
