Heh. I don't have anything much to add to this conversation but my dirty little secret is that I have never watched an episode of any other Star Trek than the Original Series, out of loyalty.

I think I come to fandom from an entirely different perspective now though. I am much more invested in Buffy than Star Trek but I am able to enjoy au fan fiction, and many novels for what they are.

The comic, not so much. I stopped reading it fairly early on, but I wish the space fucking issue didn't exist. It embarrasses my over-invested self. Not in a prudish way but in a Buffyverse isn't as deep and wonderful as I have been saying way. Hurts.
