Hmmm, I think that my overall perception and enjoyment of the franchise was in a way saved by me not being part of the fandom when the episodes were still on air. I was only a member of a tiny Polish forum but the way it functioned was nothing like the forums nowawads. Basically, I didn't know and didn't particularly care about what was going on backstage, I was never exposed to any hatred wars and character bashing which I know happened in both SG-1 and SGA. It was always just me and the episodes and I didn't have a problem with any of them, of course some were my favorites and some were not particularly interesting but overall, it was a fun adventure without any fandom baggage :D
I wish I could say the same thing about poor White Collar, obviously I still love my boys and it's the only fandom that inspires me to play with Photoshop but the idea of actually going back and watching episodes gives me stomach ache. The sad part is that I don't have a problem with the show and with any of the episodes but over the few years my brain involuntarily formed certain associations with either particular episodes or aspects of fandom and now I just can't bring myself to watch it. I'm sure (and hope) it will change in time... le sigh.
Weird things are weird... luckily there are plenty of other shows I can go back to... I'm contemplating Three's Company as a change of mood :P (Herzbube mit Zwei Damen :P)
