original_post:_12/19/2003___________________________ This kind of thing actually happened a few times, and sometimes it was glorious to have a lot of people over to watch shows like X-files, Buffy, or Lost. Sometimes though, I just wanted my friends to shut up with their opinion… especially if they hadn't ever seen the show before. I was a big snob while watching these shows. I think that's why fandom is so fun. We get super protective of our favorite characters and stories. Like my dog is totally protective of her toy stuffed bone right now… it was like that.
