I'm still a little surprised at my own obsession with Person of Interest, sometimes. Like, I've been obsessed with fandoms like this before, right? But they were either passing flings that I see again once a year or so, or something like Supernatural and Avengers, which are both HUGE fandoms. It felt like it made more sense to be so crazy when you had that much backup. Whereas POI is pretty darn small -- small enough to be in Yuletide for two years running (though definitely not next year! go fandom!).

I think it's the way that most of the people who watch the show end up casual fans, and then there's the small minority that end up sobbing over references to eggs benedict, and laughing hysterically at the boys and their inappropriate lack of stalking boundaries, and debating AI sentience or the morality of vigilante justice vs the government playing Big Brother.

And I love it.

I'm just saying: it's a little disconcerting to have a fandom this small eat my brain so hard.
