Haha, you're making me feel like a wee baby. TNG ended when I was in preschool, so I didn't end up watching any until college when I saw reruns. I do remember the days of recording shows on VHS, though. Good times. :P

Fandom is Firefly obsessed? How so? I've sort of had the opposite experience--yeah there are a lot of people who remember it fondly and talk about it, but it's around more as sort of a geek culture classic than an active fandom. It's sort of hard to find fic for it, for example.

I share many of your feelings about the Ponds. I wasn't really big on Rory until he died, and even when he came back I wasn't sure if they were really ready to marry. Now I love them to bits. And yeah, if Moffat wrecks their happy ending, I will be really unhappy.
