I know *I* am!
I'm crossposting this to Trek and Smallville because both are two of my
favorite shows/genres... I've been a Trek fan since the original airings of
the original series and my earliest memories are of George Reeves flying
across a monotone skyline, so my Superman connection is even stronger.
The argument can and will go on and on concerning why someone would watch
every moment of every episode of a show they so obviously hate, but that's
not the purpose here... like the subject line states, I'm just tired of
being gigged over enjoying what I enjoy! I'm essentially a very happy
individual who greatly enjoys his entertainment and I find Trek in all its
incarnations (okay, not DS9 so much, but still...) and Smallville something
to look forward to.
Canon? Hmmm... not really something anyone can agree on. Even Roddenberry
couldn't keep it straight. Seems in Trek, only that which has made it to the
screen "really" happened... except for anything he decided he didn't like
even after signing off on it. Nothing written ever "really" happened. Its
just the opposite in the Superman mythos... only the things appearing in the
comics "really" happened, while anything filmed was just an interpretation.
