I forgot to say -- I can only imagine being compelled to watch something if someone demonstrates that they can actually articulate what is good about it, and if I agree that those things are good. Then, if I do watch it, and I decide it's none of that, it's just crap, well of course I am always right!

Basically The X-Files has ruined me for all TV. I have had a few flings -- The West Wing, Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, The Office, but they were just for fun. And they were over in a few months, and I either didn't get involved in fandom, or didn't like much of what I saw of it.

Except for Spaced! Spaced rocks.
