I'm hoping my feelings settle down some so I can actually watch it, because it's nice to see so many people excited. (There was a great joke on the yuletide comm where people were talking about nominations: "Is Elementary too big a fandom yet for Yuletide?" "I think we can keep it under 500 fics for the next couple weeks, if we try really hard." Iiiii'm pretty sure this is going to be epic.)

I suppose my thing here is that I do think there are better and worse choices to make when picking shows to watch, and that those choices are morally meaningful. But at the same time, there's also a way in which being emotionally fannish (as I do it) involves a certain level of emotional involuntariness. (I mutter about this in this old meta about how Fox Mulder owns my brain and this is kind of problematic for my feminism. Just do a find/replace for "douchebag Sherlock Holmes" and it applies in this case too.) So what's the ethically defensible way to navigate between these two points?

I know, I'll just have my wife buy the whole season of Elementary on Amazon, and then I will have no moral compunctions about it. *g*
