No offense taken. I totally see where you're coming from. But I wouldn't call it poor writing. Some people think using adverbs is "poor" writing. It's just one way to get there.
And I think had there been less explanatin in that scene, people would have hated it for that reason. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
I'm not saying there wasn't a better way to handle it. But it could have been much, much worse as well.
