Arguably, though, “Jericho” fans are just television fans at their most fannish, meaning (still, and after all these years) most Trekkie-like. Fans of “Star Trek” continue to represent the gold standard for American fandom, not only because they were the first to love a television show to distraction (and communicated that love before the Internet), but also because they spun from that love the breath of life.
At any point in our fandom journey ― whether in our first fandom or as a fannish veteran, whether in the very first stages of falling in love with a text or slowly removing ourselves from a community, whether leaving a fandom bitterly or transitioning to a different mode of engagement ― we tend to feel strongly about the fan objects, their creators, and our fellow fans.
