The X-Files again! It keeps coming up. My friend Jo is a huge X-Phile; I never fully got into it. Anyway!
(We know my SG-1 story is totally different; got into it because of Browder & Black at the very end, rather than being invested from the beginning. Anyway!)
I'm just fascinated by other people's responses and reactions to TV shows. I really am. I've been known to give up on a show in frustration out of boredom for the story, or to have checked out certain episodes because of a certain actor but not stick around for anything otherwise.
Now, with a show that's built up around one or two particular characters, I could see myself not watching anymore if they left. Because... um, what's the point? What would have been the point of Xena without Xena? Or even Gabrielle? Luckily, that's never happened to me. And, even with my more ensemble-based shows, I guess I've been very lucky. :)
