Why *is* it that Life on Mars fandom produces about ten times the crack as, say, Farscape and Highlander fandom combined? (And so much less angst than you'd think, considering the hyper-angsty premise?)
But you've seen Farscape, right? Totally cracky, in a very funny way, sometimes; totally angsty at other times. Yet there isn't a *fraction* of LoM fandom's amount of crack in FS fandom.
Just wonderin', is all. I'm not saying there shouldn't be this amount of crack in LoM fandom - just that I haven't encountered it as a mass phenomenon in my previous fandoms. So, being the armchair anthropologist that I am, I'm set to wondering why that may be. And I still don't really have a theory.
