This holds true for me, too. After so many years as a Blakes 7 fan, discussing each episode in minute detail, going waaaay back to the Stone Age of paper letterzines, I find that I have little to say about the series itself anymore. Alternate realities, twists of fate, "what-ifs", and internal motivations/dialogue interest me much more these days. Plus, fanzines and fan fiction have always been my favorite thing about any fandom I've been interested in. So, it's hardly surprising that my continued interest in "older" fandoms like Blakes 7 revolves mostly around that aspect of the fandom. It's also been a while since I had the time to sit down and actually watch the show or even the desire to do so.
But I think it's great that others do still talk about the series all of these years later. I just don't often feel the urge to join in on those types of discussions.
