Probably something like "the-forum-creeped-out-Chase-Masterson-from-ever-coming-back" kind of thing. As one example.
Are We Taking Trek Too Seriously?

In that case, that's not taking the franchise seriously, that's just being a creep and terrible person. All fanbases have those people, but I just know there are more great people than there are toxic people.
erm ...how could anyone possibly take Gene's inspired vision for humanity, or the sacred principles of Starfleet 'too seriously' ?
Or Barbarella; rumor has it that Jane Fonda wanted every copy destroyed. Well, so far it's made it to VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray... the only thing missing is the 4K UHD release...
Good point. Brandon Tenold has a youtube channel devoted to reviewing movies so bad, of which some end up being good. Or if nothing else, his style of comedy often makes up for it...)
He did Barbarella, too. The movie review, that is...
That would be on par with ALF's unintended series finale where ALF is captured. (It was meant as a cliffhanger, but the cast was losing sanity over grueling filming requirements or griping how ALF got all the good lines...) Pretty grim and creepy. Best to keep it completely open. IMHO, YMMV. The idea of a computer having actual conversation by listening to what is said and determining how to respond via a large internal heuristic database... it's almost as much fun as those websites that had forums that say "Reply to this by tapping any of the three words that appear in your keyboard's auto-suggest function." (or just the middle one to really make it bizarre.)
I think he meant well, most idealists do... which reminds:
Fast forward to 0:14, if not 0:21 to get the quip, noting that that series was the UK's low-budget solution to Star Trek (and was sometimes better... or if nothing else, the theatrical aspect makes it more endearing if they tried to make it too much with "realism". )
That's a brilliant article.
Yeah, it's everything that's wrong with what's called "fandom," now. People expend an inordinate amount of time and attention in a determined effort to be made unhappy by popular entertainment.
It does my heart good to know that most idealistic works endure far longer than their realistic brethren. This eternal trend says something positive about the human condition.
Him and Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
There was also the loon who stalked Jeri Ryan (Google "Marlon Pagtakhan").
I remember him from Usenet. The man was obsessed with Seven of Nine.
When he appeared on CNN for stalking Jeri Ryan, my first thought was "Holy s$#@, he went through with it!"

Did that happen?
Yup.
It was his dead mother. Look at the title of the show.
Alright? I made a mistake.
Sorry if it's important to you. I'm sure you could have found a better way to express that than snarking.
Whatever makes you happy.
Didn't mean it to come across as snark, sorry. Peace be with you.
Her entire time here was one fuck up after another. Starting with her being banned by a staff member who didn’t believe it was really her. (It was an honest mistake, nothing malicious).
It went downhill from there, to the shame of those involved.
Gosh.
Well, that’s sad. Thanks for filling me in but beyond that I don’t need more. I’m not here for gossip.
What a pity though.
