I am right there with you! I profess to hate sci-fi, so when a friend gave me the Firefly DVD for my birthday in January, I was little cool. But he knew I loved Buffy and urged me to "jsut try it"! I can frankly, never forgive him nor repay him! I didn't go out for 2 weeks (obsessive re-watching) and resented every minute of work etc. Then I leant my DVD to a friend and thought I'd die after a week's cold turkey - had to buy another set . . . I've now got to the stage where I can go a whole week or so without watching an episode, but have started writing fanfic - something I swore I'd never do!

Like you, I found the whole Trekkie thing ridiculous - but that's cos it was a pretty naff show - not a work of genius, I reckon!!

My sympathies are with you!

What, like obsession is a bad thing?

Glad to see another fan(atic) join the site.
