So, what are your other fan-obsessions?

For me, I've been a semi-professional fanatic for many years now. Firefly/Serenity is only the newest addition to my list of fan obsessions. So, I thought I'd see what other people here are in to, and cover the ones I'm really into.
Star Wars: I've been into these since I saw the original in the theatre as a toddler. I adore the originals (esp. 4&5), and I do enjoy the prequels for the most part (1 was awfull, but had it's moments, 2 OK, and 3 pretty cool).
Batman: Became a fan with the original Burton/Keaton movie. Became a BIG fan with the animated series (which is amazingly dark for a cartoon, esp. on DVD when you don't have cereal comercials breaking the flow).
Highlander: I was a fan of the original movie since it's release, but only became a fanatic once the TV series started airing in the 90's.
Farscape: Came to this show mid-way through season 3, fell in love, caught up on the DVD's, had a FREAKING BREAKDOWN when it was cancelled. Spent many dollars on postage and "Crackers DO matter" postcards.
Babylon 5: Another one I came to late, fell in love, and had to get caught-up on.
Firefly/Serenity: Duh. No need to preach to the chior here.
Overall, the last year (or so) has been great for my particular obsessions. A new (and pretty good IMO) Star Wars movie, a DAMN GOOD Batman movie, a Farscape miniseries to wrap-up the most excurtiating series finale EVER, the very, very fantabulous Serenity, and a new (and from the looks of it, potentially good) Highlander movie is about 1 week from wrapping shooting, with an animated movie also nearly finished.
If only the Babylon 5 movie hadn't fallen apart late last year, this year would have been perfect (from my fan-perspective).
How about you folk?

I felt strongly enough about Buffy to attend a fan convention....
but that wasn't nearly as strong as how much I love Firefly/Serenity....
I've liked a lot of shows, making them 'must see TV' and taping them...
but I never bought DVDs until Buffy
however I have been a huge fan of actors in the past, accumulating their movies on video...and I went to NYC to see Kevin Kline on stage four times!
so maybe that qualifies.....
pretty much I'm just Whedon's bitch, and I expect to like anything he does as much as I love these things he has already done!

Has anyone here seen Carnivale? not exactly sci-fi but definetly fantasy,
about, would you believe it, a Carnival. set in thirties America, theres outcasts and misfits, good versus evil (but only in a highly fuzzy way) suspect preachers and a good looking/bad tempered braces wearing character, hmmm, sounds familiar...
no, truly, brilliant show, the kinds of intelligent, gripping, terrifying and amazing t.v. that only comes along once in a blue moon and naturally has to be messed around by the t.v. schedulers.
everyone has to get the box sets and watch it cause its truly frelling brilliant.
I was one of those people who signed the petitions and stamped her little feet when Farscape was cancelled, especially when charmed was picked up again, but at the time i was being held captive in a towering halls of residence and being prevented from watching the last few seasons by evil trendy types, so i was slightly anaesthetised, lucky me...

STAR WARS: I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 5 or 6. We only had Return of the Jedi, so I knew about the whole Vader/Luke/Leia thing from the beginning (awful, I know). I really dug Episode III, after the atrocity that was Episode II (yeah, I liked Phantom Menace. Sue me.)
KEVIN SMITH FILMS: Sure, it's childish and dumb, but I really love Kevin Smith's films (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl). Clerks is the reason I'm a film student right now. And with Clerks 2 due out next August, I love being a fan of the Askewniverse right now.
ZOMBIE FILMS: I've only begun my obsession over zombie films in the past year. Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, all those. There's just something intrinsically cool about zombie films. I don't know what it is.
HELLBOY: Huge fan of the comics. Loved the movie, really looking forward to the sequel and the animated films. Go Mignola!
SOUTH PARK: Again, it's childish and stupid, but I've been a fan since the beginning. And the current run of episodes are as funny as they've ever been. I'll buy up anything Trey Parker and Matt Stone put out.
It's just been the past few years that I've been getting into fandoms. Used to be, it was nothing but Star Wars for me. But now I'm more open to other stuff. I know I can't be a fan of everything (especially of the stuff that I just hate), but I'd like to get acquainted with as much of it all as I can.

A lot of Starwars fans out there I notice. I'm not a fan myself though I've seen all the films. My son is a big fan though.
Quantum Leap was my favourite t.v. show prior to Firefly, and though I wouldn't really class it as an obsession I liked it enough to buy a couple of dvd sets.
My only other real obsession is a writer called Robin Hobb who also writes under the name Megan Lindholm. It's the only message board I've been a member of apart from this one. She writes intricate, complex, extensive and highly addictive fantasy trilogies about very believable people and places. I would highly recommend anyone who likes fantasy novels to read them. Start with The Farseer Trilogy, which comprises The Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin and The Assassin's Quest.

But this is my first obsession. Oh wait and shoes,

FARSCAPE! Oh dear god... I had a complete and utter freak out when it got cancelled. I had a freakout at the end of the season 2 finale as well... I mean, aside from the season 4 finale, that was the worst cliffhanger I have EVER seen in ANY TV show in my ENTIRE life! I was practicaly banging my head on the wall by the time season 3 started. And Season of Death did NOT disappoint, following extremely wel in Die Me Dichotomy's footsteps.
And the season 4 finale... I just stared in shock. Until the point where "To be continued" came up, and I 'knew' there weren't going to be anymore, so I burst into tears.
*clears throat* Anyway, Farscape... my pre-Firefly (and during, and after) fan obsession.
I also loved Carnivale, FYI

I totally forgot Kevin Smith. Big fan of his movies, especially Chasing Amy.
I also really dig Robert Rodriguez. Most of his movies are "B" grade, but as an aspiring filmmaker, the way he built his career is inspiring.
And I'm in partial agreement with you on South Park. It's a great show, and one of my all-time favs. I just disagree that it's stupid. Childish and juvanile (I guess that's redundant), sure. But the satire on that show is often much deeper than most people give it credit for.
And since we're expanding the lists beyond filmed media, I'll trow in a couple few others.
Writers: I'll read anything from Neil Gaiman, or comics by Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Warren Ellis or Garth Ennis.
Music: I'm a total nut for Pearl Jam and Radiohead.
Video games: I have lost countless hours to the Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear series. Or most any game with Star Wars in the title(good and bad).

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't calling it stupid, myself. I was just pre-empting haters who might try to tell me that it is.

My obsession being that Buffy/Angel/Firefly aren't on anymore are comic books. For all of you who think comics are for kids, you're WRONG. Comics are for teenagers and adults. Pick up "Y: The Last Man" and "The Walking Dead" if you don't believe me. I've also had an ongoing minor obsession with Star Wars since grade 4 (about 12 years ago).

WOOT BEG!!! Go Depeche Mode!!!
My secret shame, on and off through the years, has been Magic: The Addiction - erm, Gathering. Curse that card game - so wonderful, so overpriced. It makes me feel like an alcholic - I've been out a little over a year now, but I had been out for a year and a half before that. It always comes back, curse it!
I've also spent my time idolizing Star Wars, but there's no need to rehash what others have said.

Well, I, too am a huge Star Wars fan, having growing up watching the originals when I was little. I've done the whole deal: dressing up for halloween, premieres, etc, figures, drawings...well, I'm definitely a SW geek!
Books: Harry Potter. Big time.
Music: Vanessa Carlton, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer
Movies: SW, The Mummy+The Mummy Returns: seriously campy movies, but I'm a bit of an Egypt and mythology junkie, too, so these movies are just plain amazing. And I adore the actors in them.
Video Games: Age of Mythology: such a shiny game. I love toppling civilizations with the click of the mouse.
Now, however, Firefly has taken me. Hard. lol. This series has definitely been my current obsession, and probably the strongest in the least amount of time.

Good to see another Highlander fan!!!!!
I am Ertia, Methos' lost love slave, and always will be. :D
I've been a Lord of the Rings geek since I first read the books when I was 13, and the movies brought on a whole new fervor for all things Tolkien.
(My home office is entirely decorated in all things LOTR and Highlander.)
Loved Farscape & LEXX, really like Law & Order, but I'm not as ...well... I don't spend my spare time writing fanfiction for them, or rewatching old episodes until my eyes water...so I don't think they really count as Fan-fodder for me.
Thank the powers that be for the Internet which brings fanatics together! :D

I agree. Strongly! Especially to Fleetwood Mac
and Harry Potter. Other than that, probably Bab 5 and Stargate SG-1/Atlantis. I kmnow a lot of people on this site actually HATE the Stargate franchise, but, hey...someone's gotta break the mold.
I love fanfic so, pretty much anything I like tends to end up as a fic in my 'verse.

Oh, I loved Carnivale too. To death. I definately heard it was cancelled, though. I believe I even saw so on the official page on the HBO website. Unless they pulled a just-kidding, which would be AWESOME, but... well, we all know how likely THAT is.

To be fair, it's frequently childish and stupid, but it's not always childish and stupid. I love the show for the biting and shocking humor, but most of all for the sociopolitical standpoint.
Myself, I don't like to call my fandoms by name because they cycle. I'll have one major obsession at a time, then it'll fall into regular rotation with all my loves as I pick up on something new. But this is all the stuff I'm into, in terms of fandoms:
TV: Firefly (no, really?), Numb3rs, Lost, House, South Park
Literature/Comics: Stephen King books, and the collective works of Jhonen Vasquez
Movies: Well, Serenity of course. Also, most Tim Burton works, The Addams Family, the first Jurrasic Park only (everything that came after was crap)
Music: I'm shifting music tastes again so I don't even know anymore.

I'm a lifelong car nut. Our '04 MINI Cooper S is much more to me than transportation. My 1961 Morgan (bought last year) has been a static display for mostof my life, but that is soon to change.
To the respondent who mentioned Frank Miller comics: Did you catch the Fox Kids animated series based on Miller/Darrow's BIG GUY AND RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT. Fantastic series that only lasted about a season and a half. I've seen about half of them. No DVD sets or rebroadcasts on the horizon, I'm afraid.
British Sci-Fi series THE PRISONER. Great opening sequence of a Series II Lotus Se7en tearing around London (the British car bug rears its ugly head again).
Like many here I came to FF via closet Buffy/Angel Fandom.
Huge Sonic Youth fan. 25 years of continually evolving sound, and (to my ears) it has always been good. Other "out there" music: Anything Nels Cline has been involved in (Nels Cline Trio, Nels Cline Singers, Banyan, etc.), Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose, solo recordings, Banyan again), Lightning Bolt, etc..
To the respondent who mentioned zombie films: Put the original version of DAWN OF THE DEAD at the top of your to-see list. Filmed mostly on location inside a shopping mall (at night when closed...~Kevin Smith's MALLRATS). The gore that you expect plus intelligent social commentary that you might not. Also, you can't go wrong with a movie that includes a pie fight scene between a roving biker gang and hordes of living dead.

This may come as a shock to you...but I'm a bit of a Star Wars fan.
I'm all about some Lord of the Rings, too. Not just the movies, but the whole mythology. I'd love to see a Silmarillion mini-series. Oh! An anime mini-series.

In 2000/2001, I discovered there were some amusing games that had been discontinued, and so I bought some boxes for about 10% of retail price - I've got a good selection of Guardians cards, which are really quite amusing. I'd forgotten, but I went Star Wars CCG crazy for a while too - fed that one a significant chunk of change.
The other weekend, I met Ed Beard (artist for Magic) at the Texas Ren Faire near Houston - bought a signed print, which is now framed with the corresponding card, and hanging in the wall of my music studio (which is where all the money now goes ;) )

X-Men- esp. Gambit and Wolverine
Farscape- they haven't shown many of the ep's here Down Under, but I love what I've seen just the same.
Oh yeah and I'm a minor Trekker- I love the shows and the movies but I'm not so much in love that I've learnt a lot about the show or anything.

Ah, gee-whiz, do I have to name them ALL?!
Okee-dokee, let's see now...
Well, the first fandom I went completely nuts over was a fantasy book series, The Wheel of Time. I saw book 7 on the "New Books" shelf of my high-school library my sophomore year, thought it sounded interesting, and decided to start from the beginning.
Other book fandom obsessions include: Harry Potter (duh), Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child (they have a recurring character that is among my top five favorites of all time), and Lord of the Rings (another 'duh').
My first real foray into the world of fanfiction, message boards, and season-DVD purchases was for The X-Files. I'd watched it on and off for several years, then my senior year of high school (Season 8 for XF), I started going online a lot, and discovered the X-Phile subculture. I've been hooked ever since, even almost four years after the series ended. I admit I could have had better timing, but the DVD's have helped, and there's still a thriving fan community out there.
I started watching "Lost" on the very first episode, and I haven't missed one since, even if I've had to tape them on occasion. I've heard that the writers have a whole five-season story-arc planned. Thank God. They know where they're going. I sincerely hope they're able to get there. Network TV studios can be absolutely vicious, as we've all had cause to mourn.
My dad got me hooked on the original Star Trek when I was about 7. I was never able to get into TNG or DS9, mostly because I was too young to go against my Mom's "no network TV" edict. However, when Voyager came around, I watched it fairly consistently for most of its run.
As for Star Wars, I'd hardly call myself obsessed. I've read a few of the novels, seen all of the movies, and went to the midnight premieres of all three of the newer ones. Still, that's small potatoes compared to the die-hards, and more power to them.
I guess that's just about everything...
Oh, wait, Firefly. Well, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I wasn't even interested until I saw a preview for the BDM. I'd had little use for Buffy or Angel, and when I first heard about it, I thought Firefly would be more of the same. Believe me, I've been kicking myself in the head for that for the last several months. I guess better late than never, though.
To be perfectly honest, I almost wish I'd never gotten involved. All the other fandoms I've been involved with were able, or are still able, to get to say everything they wanted to say. They have enjoyed long, prosperous runs and, in the cases of those that have ended, died peacefully in their beds at a ripe old age. Firefly was practically still-born, and even with all the life-saving measures the fans and Joss have taken, along with a much-needed boost from the BDM, it will always be crippled, and there are so many things that we'll never have the chance to see. I hate regrets, and the loss of that chance for Firefly is a big one.
I don't mean to sound maudlin. I adore the show, the movie, the whole damn thing. I'm going to continue to support it in any way I can, and I'll always have hope that it can be, in Joss' words, 'reborn in some - ANY- forum.'

I could give a nice big long list here, but as I'm constantly jumping from one obsession to another, I'm just going to go with my one other 'current BIG obsession'.... The New Doctor Who
I first have to say that Firefly/Serenity is my one true love, but I know that a majority of the people around here feel the same way, so I'll leave it at that. The new Doctor Who is the only other show that even comes close to matching my obesession for FF. I wasn't ever even going to watch it (as was the case with Firefly... go figure) but one of my lovely UK friends was kind enough to loan me a copy and after the first episode, I was completely hooked. Great storytelling, good cast, and just plain fun. If any of you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely try to locate a copy or at the very worst, wait until it's released in the States in February and rent it. It will be well worth your time

My first fan obsession ever was The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, another great show that got canned in its first season by Fox. grrr But it's coming out on DVD soon, finally, so that's good.
I'm a bit of a sci-fi junky, so my list of obsessions is a bit long. But I'm a poor junky so I haven't bought many of my obsessions on DVD (other then Firefly of course). Having said that my obsessions include: Stargate SG1, Farscape, X-files (until it got all crappy), Carnivale, Invisible Man, Buffy, the first season of Earth Final Conflict, and don't shoot me, but I loved Star Trek: Enterprise (except the last episode, which as far as I'm concerned just is ... #%?#@*...

I liked Briscoe too. How soon I forget.
Comet, the wonderhorse, Lord Boller, John Astin as the inventor. Bruce Campbell's best work apart from playing the thief in Hercules, in my opinion.
For that matter, Hercules and Xena were good also.

My first full-time fandom was Star Wars. The Empire Strikes Back was one of the first films I remember watching, and remains one of my all time favourites.
TV-wise: The X-Files was the big one, I watched every episode without fail right up to when Duchovny left and it went downhill. And even then, I got every single one on tape.
Meanwhile, I had discovered the Buffyverse.
I missed the first season, got mildly interested by the second and then James Marsters as Spike captured my imagination and held on.
Naturally, by virtue of their very Joss-ness, Angel and Firefly followed.
Currently, there isn't anything on TV that's worth watching, so I stick to my DVD collection.
Music-wise: Manic Street Preachers.

I'd been a big fan of the Uncanny X-Men when Chris Claremont scripted it in the 80's. I hadn't gone ga-ga over a television show since China Beach. That's it. So going bonkers over Firefly like I have, has been real surprising to me.

These are my other fan-obsessions outside of FIREFLY.
24-I've said it before, and I'm saying it again. This show is llike cocaine. One snort and you're addicted to it.
Bone- I think this is the first comic book mentioned here. This is an independent fantasy comic bokk that is, to put it in a nutshell, Looney Tunes meets Lord of the Rings. It's about these three cousins who are "Bones", that are these funny looking humanoid creatures. They're lost in this desert and they end up in this valley where they get caught up in this massive "fate of the world" battle involving dragons, locusts, rat creatures, lost realms and such. I hope that I'm not the only person here whose read this amazing comic.
Futurama- Even though my geekiness for this has cooled, it's still one of my favorite all time shows. The similarities between this and FIREFLY are too numerous, but it has its own distinctive quality to it. Where else can you see the Heisenberg principle used as a basis of a joke?
GARDEN STATE- I don't know if there is a fandom to this yet, but if there is I'm definitly part of it. Not only was it the best film of 2004, but I think this is going to be the film that defines my generation, like CLERKS ten years earlier. Everything that we are is up there.
Kevin Smith movies- I agree with the above poster that Kevin Smith is to movies what Joss is to TV. He'll probably go down in history as a writer whose work defined a generation. And DOGMA is cool in that it's sort of the flipside of BUFFY. A fantasy/action/comedy that's all for God, as opposed to dismissive of him.
I always wonder what it would be like if you put Joss and Kevin in the same room. I know Joss doesn't run in the Miramax circles that Kevin does with Tarantino and Rodriguez, but I think it would be cool to put The Master and Silent Bob together to duke it out.
Those are my major ones. Everything else is mid-level for me. Although I am excited for anything new DR. WHO related.

For me it started off harmless enough with Star Trek, and then later with Star Wars, and then after that, the original BSG. Then later I got all fanzied-up with Aliens.
Later in life I went through this strange obession with Audrey Hepburn movies, and then limbo...and this is where Serenity came into the picture, and then later Firefly, and now I'm all obsessed with the new Battlestar Galactica.
By the way, Inara = Audrey Hepburn.

SciFi Obsessions:
JRR Tolkien - I read Lord of Rings at least once every other year. Loved all three films, loved the extended editions even more. Huge fan of all things Tolkien, games, books, and movies.
Star Wars - Albiet the prequels have made me a far more cynical fan which is sad because the underlying theme in the original films was fun. The prequels are a mess. ROTS was tolerable and only partially delivered the goods. I and II are practically unwatchable.
The X-Files - Include The Lone Gunemen too. Own all nine seasons on DVD and the single Lone Gunmen season and the feature film, watch at least 3-4 episodes a week and have watched the entire series beginning to end twice now.
Star Trek - Not really a Trekkie, hated Enterprise, disliked Voyager - thought DS9 was when the series peaked, the best it got. TNG I also enjoyed, and most of the movies. Also enjoy the original series (most of them).
Blade Runner, Gattaca, Dark City

I'm a huge Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan in general. I haven't become a con/dress up kind of fan (yet), but I do have a Blue Sun T-shirt that all my friends ask about. Some of my favs:
Farscape: One of the few shows I've ever entered on episode 1 and stayed til the end. I was crushed when Sci-Fi cancelled it!
Star Wars: What can I say - this started it all for me. I was 7 when the first one came out. The beginning theme, the crawl, the Star Destroyer - that's all it took. I spent my allowance for a year seeing it again and again at the theater!
Star Trek (Original, TNG, DS-9 & Enterprise...Voyager not so much, but I liked Tom Paris) My favorite thing about Star Trek is that it shows hope for humanity...Despite how things look today. I really liked Enterprise and watched it from episode 1 til the end.
My biggest gripe was that the Enterprise writers could have done so much more with the series like introducing the alien races from the orignal Trek series but they did that whole temporal cold war thing! Uggh! Such crap! Anyway...
Tolkien: Loved the books as a kid, loved the movies as a grown-up!
Stargate: Atlantis. I don't why, I never wathced Stargate: SG-1...I just like this show!
Battlestar Galactica: It rocks! Great story so far and bringing back the Pegasus was genius!
That's about it....
Oh yeah. This little thing called Firefly/Serenity. I hadn't seen the series and didn't watch it until I saw the Serenity trailer in the theaters. Needless to say, I've seen them all now! Loved the show, loved the movie! Now I want more!
I forgot to mention Space: Above and Beyond. Great show! Died before its time. :(
Bring it back!

Oh, and I almost forgot. ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. That show is like the FIREFLY of sit-coms. It's so far ahead of its time and on another level of consciousness. And GOB is by far the funniest character ever created for a sit-com.
"Let me tell you something, Michael. I may not have a son (he does) but if I did, I would either take him to a cabin in the woods, or promise to take him and then not take him. But the one thing, THAT I WILL NEVER DO, is not tell him I'm taking him to a cabin in the woods, AND THEN NOT TAKE HIM."

Anyway, Firefly/Serenity are my TOP obssessions.
Star Wars: Used to be really obssessed, not so much since i've discovered Firefly. I still have my Force-FX lightsabers.
Back To The Future: Amazing movies...although 2 gets old after a while.
Love Hina: Mangas...NOT ANIME. The anime sucks. Also Ken Akamatsus new manga, Negima, is okay. Not as good as LH, though.
Programming/Modification: Not really an obssession as more of a hobby, but I will spend hours tweaking and pimping out my Internet Explorer or Battlefielod 2 maps. It's kind of the same with my writing, won't ever see me without my notebook of dark writings in hand.
There's probably more.

I don't tend to think of it as an obsession. It's more like a hefty command of utterly useless knowledge. I'm a total geek and proud of it, and a lot is SciFi:
Star Wars - What can I say I'm a fan of the OT. Not the prequels as much...nothing to them but CG and effects. But even still, Serenity/Firefly has surpassed it on my list. My stormy costume is on hold for right now because of it.
Farscape - It carries a lot of the same feelings I hold towards Firefly. Good characters, decent effects. And Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
StarGate (and SG-1) - I remember seeing the trailer for the first time when I was younger, and thinking what a cool idea. And when the show came out, I was skeptical, but felt it turned into something good....and then wierd...then good again...then the second season started...
Post-Apocalyptica - My favorite genre to write in. I love the idea of starting over, wondering what or how people would live. Or how society would progress without our modern luxuries.
Jury-rigging things - I know it doesn't really go along with movies or fandom...but it's something that keeps me sane. I see something thats not working, and I make it work...or I make something new out of it. Which is nice in my line of work.
Generally, I'm just a fan of good film. I have a collection of posters and trailers (on film) from films I like. When a story has all the elements, characters who have (hey here's a novel idea) charatcer, and a world where I can get lost in it and believe that I'm there...then I like it. And I must say, Serenity pulls that off quite nicely.

I love this film! Love it As soon as I saw it I knew no other film was going to ever surpass it - Serenity seriously wobbbled it, but it stuck fast.
Its the only film thats affected me since my 'film heart' froze over. The bit at the end in the airport when the music kicks in, and you just think, yeah, b*****k's to caution, live it, don't think about it. Its pure elation, and yep, I cried, in the middle of the theatre, whinged my little heart out.
Ahem, anyway. It also introduced me to the Shins, which Jumpy mentioned, and i'm eager to hear more.

And DOGMA is cool in that it's sort of the flipside of BUFFY. A fantasy/action/comedy that's all for God, as opposed to dismissive of him.
I loved Clerks, never thought I would when it was described to me, but it was so lucky that I gave it a go anyway, Dogma was brilliant in that it fully supported the idea of god, or rather of faith, but it wasn't afraid to prod it a bit, see what happened, whether your ideas stood up to the prodding. And i'm a terrible prodder, in every aspact of my life, so I identified.
Plus they killed Matt Damon and Ben Affleck at the end of it. it was all good.

There are more than what I'm going to list below, and due to a lack of time at the moment, these won't be particularly good descriptions. In fact, they're pretty much just going to be quick fanboy rants for now.
LEGACY OF KAIN
As a video game series goes, it's pretty fun. In terms of the storyline and voice acting, it's absolutely top-notch. Sadly, due to mediocre sales, the story may never see its conclusion. In the most recent game, Legacy Of Kain: Defiance, we saw a major plot arc resolved, but there's still more that needs to be told. If we don't get another sequel, for LOK fans, it would be the equivalent of stopping Lord Of the Rings after the Battle of Helms Deep.
Yes, it involves vampires, but it's a vampire story in the same way Firefly is a sci-fi show. It uses a well-known element as a base, but takes it in new directions instead of just following cliches.
METAL GEAR
YES, I get to be all positive and shiny here, because not only is it one of the greatest video game series ever with highly memorable characters and a nice, twisty storyline... it's popular. Unlike with our beloved Firefly and the above LOK, it won't be killed off before its time. Ever since Metal Gear Solid was deemed one of the greatest Playstation titles ever produced, there hasn't been any worry about whether the next entry in the series would sell well. It's got a lot of heart, and it's going to keep on beating. Looking forward to MGS4!
History abhors a paradox.

I've found that most of the things/shows I've become hooked on have been something of a slow and steady build-up, and not an instant hook, and some have faded into my past, while others have grown in popularity to take over.
Earlier in my life, I was huge on Star Trek. I still really enjoy watching episodes of DS9 and Voyager (voyager being my favorite of the ST series), however I've never seen a single episode of Enterprise.
I was a huge fan of X-Men all throughout my teens. I still have a large collection of X-Men related comics.
I was big on Magic the Gathering for a few years in my late teens, but that has since cooled off, mostly because there's nobody to play with in my neck of the woods.
Stargate-SG1 & Atlantis. I have all 8 DVD sets of SG-1, and the first set of Atlantis. These series are definitely in Firefly's league, and that's saying a lot.
Firefly was an immediate hit with me, and has since grown into obsession. I remember when the series first disappeared from the schedule of my local broadcast station, and thinking it was just a local station thing, and being pissed at them, becuase I figured that such a great series couldn't have possibly been cancelled, but my local stations are notorious for dropping good stuff, just because they're too cheap to keep buying it.
Oh, and I find it hard to pass up old, Lever action rifles. They are very nice.
