It varies - like you...YAY FIREFLY <333333333333<br /><br />It varies - like you said, being part of the fandom as an amazing show airs is a pretty awesome experience, BUT - and this is a big but - I HATE WAITING. Really really hate it. And even if a show is great, as little as a week between episodes can totally bugger up the momentum for me. I don't know how it would've affected some of my favourite shows if I'd had to watch them week to week - for example, I got into Buffy about a year after it finished and I was SO SO GRATEFUL that I could just grab the next DVD and didn't have to wait. Unless it's really powerful stuff (and Buffy is, so it might not have mattered), I tend to feel it dilutes my immersion experience.<br /><br />So I tend to marathon by season (or if it's a mini-series, after it's finished). I can just about deal with the between-seasons wait, that's more like waiting for the next book in a series. But the drip-feed of a weekly watch - nah, can't be bothered usually. Not unless I am really really massively obsessed. <br /><br />So yes, generally I tend to be behind - depends on the show, sometimes it's not FAR behind, just until the season's done airing, or if it's a show that came recommended but that I don't feel a strong urge to OMG MUST SEE RIGHT AWAY, I may just wait until the whole thing's done. Avoiding spoilers can be a pain but most of my friends are pretty good about it.

But that gives us a chance to decide if we really really want to watch something. Like Game of Thrones -- after seeing the reaction at the end of last season, I'm pretty confident that we can skip that series. But yes. Firefly.

I rarely go back and catch up on what went on before. But that's TV. With books, if I love a series, I always want to read EVERYTHING.PG Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819909187492632526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-25240626247698363752013-08-14T08:15:04.196-04:002013-08-14T08:15:04.196-04:00Since we don't have cable (by choice) I watch ...Since we don't have cable (by choice) I watch everything on DVD or streaming. So yeah, I'm usually a least a season behind, if not longer. I mean, I just watched The Avengers a month or so ago.Meg Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081153466394828760noreply@blogger.com
