I know, right? I'm in the same place -- I keep having to forcibly stop myself from starting to take obsessive notes on canon details. Thank god for the wiki, man. (I learned the hard way with SG1 -- I can either do creative things with a canon, or obsess over facts. I can't really do both. And I'd rather be writing for this one, if I can gear myself back up to it!)
The thing that's striking me hardest recently is I'm paring down massively on things I watch. I'd been adding and adding and adding to the pile, from time-wasters to things I was basically fannish about, and now I just don't need the time-wasters. I've got a fandom in my head, no time to waste! *g* I haven't dropped everything, but there are a bunch of shows I was watching just to watch that I suddenly couldn't care less about. And new fannish shows cropping up that I may check out, but also may not, because I don't need a new show right now.
It's lovely. *happy sigh*
I can't figure it out, either, other than that something about it is deep-down old-school, because ye gods the number of old-school fans I know/see falling for it is amazing. It's... huh. It's not ironic (or if it is, I'm not seeing it). Maybe that's it.
