They were a lot of firsts for me: first to feel that intensely about, first to discover fandom (what internets? and people on them? and fic? and meta? and squee? and cool-ass fangirls---WAT?), first to obsess about, first to make me read all the things, first to break my heart.
And you can't really replicate that. To be honest, I wouldn't want to. But it doesn't mean you can't love other stuff. And I'm not gonna lie, having a new shiny ship still full of possibility and not already dashed on the rocks of Questionable Writing Choices or WTFery or Poofs, Pigeons & How We Need Moar Dancing Robots in Our Lives or Beware that Roomba!...
...it's a nice feeling.
Ships and shows and things like that run in cycles. I think for me I've finally worked through all the stages of grief when it comes to pilots and so I can let go of the emotional connection a little bit (and again, this is good b/c for me that emotional connection was also frought with the urge to smash my head against my keyboard or set my DVD's on fire. So in this instance closure can be good).
But I still love those kids. Always will. I mean, how can you not?
Serious answer is (somehwat) serious.
