Like I need another fandom  
Curiosity got the better of me and I got hold of the first season of Supernatural.

Now I remember every single thing about the X Files that made me a fan of it - and whaddya know? Lotta familiar names in the credits there...

Plus? Teh pretty!!

(oh, and I have no doubt this has been done already, but Dean so needs to meet up with Faith... I'm just sayin')

I don't think we can not analyse something. We're built to try and look for patterns and stuff, chances are humans beings will for the most part always analyse stuff.

I get that. But people don't know when to quit, and stuff gets over-analysed to the ground, which IMO is BtVS case.

IMO, when the subtext and reading between the lines overpowers the text, that's when you need to stop. Of course even this isn't always true, especially for art produced under repressive governments, where you can't just come out and say whatever it is you want to say.

Absolutely. 'Reading' a text in an analytical way should enhance the text itself, not negate it which is what seems to happen with a lot of the essays on fandom I have read.
