Oct. 3rd, 2007 11:08 pmI forgot Heroes, again.
I think it's not just that it's on a school night. It just doesn't live in my head once the TV is turned off. So I guess I'm not a fan.
Is kind of sad. There's lots of good stuff in it, just somehow it doesn't click.
... possibly my brain is full of Torchwood fic and dodgy Doctor/Master stuff ...
... certainly isn't full of school ...
Other thing that isn't grabbing me any more: Stargate. I don't know why, but I've only just got around to starting to watch the season 8 DVDs, and I still haven't watched season 10 even on download. And on this rewatch Jack just seems to spend all his time clowning and the others are kind of... thin? I don't know. I know I used to love it, but now I'm just watching. Woe.
You know, actually, I think I kind of get monogamy now. Because I seem to be serially monofannish. I can only be obsessed with one 'verse at a time. Sure, the older fandoms linger - Methos is still hanging out in my head, along with Giles and Ethan and Andrew and Oz and Xander and, well, everyone - but mostly all my concentration goes to the New Thing.
Actually there's other fandoms that just went away when I stopped watching. I read a ton of Sentinel fic, then I stopped. The guys didn't get less pretty, I just sort of stopped thinking about it. And Stargate, like I said, had my full attention for ages, but then... didn't.
Doctor Who was always there kind of in the background, and then there was New and shiny and lots of people and that was cool, and then there was Torchwood and I had instant fanlove of staying up to watch the repeats at three in the morning proportions.
... I really need to get that recorder some time soon.
ANYways... maybe that's the monogamy thing. Sometimes people just go their seperate ways and you don't so much miss them, however weird that seems when you think about it.
... I still seem to like people in sets though. More interesting that way.
