"the in some ways even sillier post-panic backlash against the non-panic panic"
Auf whedonesque gibt's dazu noch immer köstliche Kommentare:
But then again, we're all a part of this internet community, where we obsess (in the kindest and most intellectual way possible, but obsess nontheless) about a television show that has yet to appear, which is a factor that cannot be ignored. This in itself is already an interesting social phenomenon, because it begs the question if we'd be as into the goings on of this show if none of us had an internet connection, and none of us were tied into the social aspects of this fandom. I know that at least part of the reason I'm looking forward to new Joss Whedon material so much - apart from looking forward to what we're assuming will be new quality television - is because I will get to discuss new things with people I know on some of my favorite online locations, including this one.
Add to that the way this community influences the things we see about DH, and you have an interesting dynamic, which I'm sure offers sociological rich ground. Just take a look at the recent threads where almost no one was actually panicking about production issues, but so many of us were saying "don't panic" that the overall appearance became one of panic - as such in fact causing that panic and the in some ways even sillier post-panic backlash against the non-panic panic (which, funilly enough, at the end of the day, left us - as a group - in the same slightly apprehensive non-panicked state we started out in).
