Perfectly said! To me, it's all about that sweet spot. I'm picky about TV--I have to genuinely enjoy it and be satisfied by it on one level in order to keep watching it, but to be fannish about it, there's got to be another level where it seems lacking, you know?
weren't book fandoms like Harry Potter at their most active when there was a long gap between publication of the various books in the series?
