    it took me four years to recover enough

    It took you, in your own words, four years to recover?

    Well adjusted nerds when there’s a tv show they don’t like:

    Personally I also really disliked PIC, but I simply choose to be normal and move on with my life.

      When you get older 4 years is nothing. There’s a lot of other things to do. Disco started 8 years ago!

        Personally, I find as I get older my concerns aren’t quite so petty.

        Anyone upset about a television show they didn’t like for four days should seriously assess what is actually going on in their lives.

          I think he was using hyperbole but I understand his point of view. You watch a show, you don’t like it, you don’t watch it again. Every now and then you browse for something, see it and think “I remember I don’t like it.”

          Four years later you forget you how much you didn’t like it and go, “Meh, there’s nothing else on.”

          I was that way with Hyperdrive, the BBC comedy scifi from 2006. I watched an episode 10 years ago and didn’t get even to the end of the first episode. Tried it again a few months ago and kind of liked it. It wasn’t great, but had several good episodes.

          It wasn’t like hating Hyperdrive took up any part of my thoughts at all over the past 10 years.

          Besides, even if it was part of the OP’s thoughts, how is fandom love of a fictional television show different than fandom hate?

            Love is worth time and effort. Hate is not.

                Hey man, if someone is making the choice to be the sort of pathetic loser obsessed with hating a television show, that’s their choice. Just as it’s my choice to be judgemental of them for the brief period of time they’re in front of my eyeballs before I go do something fun and cool.
