Basically, my experience with AtF and Season 8 is this - When I peel back layers of Season 8 I enjoy it even more and want to come online to discuss it. When I peel back layers of AtF I get frustrated and feel no urge to discuss the series online except to complain about it. Which means that I post initial thoughts on the issues (Oh em gee, loved that line! or what a great panel of art!) and then feel no urge to go back for further discussion or consideration. Where as Season 8 inspires me to reread and theorize and evaluate intensely.
So my pleasure with AtF is fleeting. The question remains, better to have known love of AtF than to never have known it at all? Or is ignorance of this truly bliss? I'm not sure which of us is better off. At least you don't feel like you were gulled into something only to find yourself cherishing dross instead gold.
