Yeah, it's really weird because once I find that little "something" it's like that's it, the show has me. Merlin, for example. I was watching an episode of Merlin because I was bored and nothing else was on. For some reason, this one unremarkable and brief scene made me intrigued in the friendship between the two main characters. So I started watching more and now I'm currently working my way through season one. One iddy-biddy scene and now I have a whole new show I'm into. It seriously amazes me the things that get me drawn into a show.
Getting fannish definitely comes episodes later, though, and I think there's always a bit of a fight before I finally give in. I don't like really fanning over something (to the point of writing fic, that is) since I have so much on my plate already. But, sometimes, it's nice to have another sandbox to play in, even if I only have one or two stories in me.
