I'm sure you linked to a deliciously interesting trope, but I'll pass for now.
And yeah, any trope is bad when it's used badly. On the other had (almost) any trope can be good when used correctly. It's almost all about the skill of the writers. Good ideas and concepts are easy to find and are a dime a dozen - as a writer myself in my spare time I can testify to this. Putting them together into a good, coherent story that is enjoyable for the person reading or watching it is the hard part.
