I wonder at times if I miss the discussions more than the show?
Heh. There were definitely times... I think too, it's the difference between being passive and active. With BtVS and the board I was able to move from being a passive viewer to one who was actively creating the experience of viewing with other people. Which sounds really pretentious, but it was definitely different from anything else. Kind of empowering. And I now I find myself a bit frustrated at this lack of input, or control, with other things. Probably why I don't feel as much enthusiasm for other shows, or why I sometimes find myself wanting to influence the direction of fanfiction whose authors invite comments ;)
All we can do is putter along, we can't know what needs or passions will suddenly overtake us. What happened for me with s6, that intense need to discuss, was unexpected. I may not have that feeling again. You never know.
