I was an X-Files fan once. But after a few seaons I realized that Chris Carter had no real plan, and Mulder and Scully were going to continually wander around clueless and never, ever actually accomplish anything. Sure, the character interactions were fun and a lot of the scripts were engaging. But after a while, the whole 'nothing they do really matters because there is no plot' got on my nerves.
( I've reached that point with Alias. )
But we'll always have fanfic. Like yahtzee63's glorious "Irenicon". Now that I think about it, all of her fic is wonderous. And every single word of Gondro's fics (does Gondro have an LJ?). And Karenml's "The Perfect Weapon".
The fans always take better care of the characters than those who get paid to do it!
