Funny, innit, fandom? You've summed it up nicely: there's enjoying a show, and there's totally invading the fictional privacy of the characters being interested in the characters beyond the plot.
It's not usually the best shows that generate the fannishness, it's the ones whose characters are better than their writing. Those ones need us. An element of sci-fi/fantasy seems to help, too.
So yeah, Leverage is awesome (and now, 95% more local!) and I can't wait for it to start up again, but I'm not really fannish on it either.
Hope your muse comes back with the riding crop real soon.
