I simply do not have the expanse of knowledge required to
make comparisons such as these. The only Tolkein novel I ever read was The Hobbit. I own the entire LOTR
series, but I was never even able to make it through The Fellowship of the Ring. I’ve read the Harry Potter series and
seen the movies; I’ve seen a few episodes of Star Trek. Don’t get me wrong, I
totally geek out when I have some spare reading time or one of the movies comes
on TV, but my appreciation pales in comparison to most fans. I can’t recite
pages of text straight from the HP series, I don’t know the underlying
philosophy of the LOTR trilogy—I’m too busy making goo-goo eyes at Legolas—and anytime
I watch Star Trek, I am inherently disappointed when Zachary Quinto isn’t the
Spock flooding my TV screen.
It’s shallow. So shallow.
I even forgot about Star Wars. Maybe because Zachary Quinto
isn’t in it. I don’t know. I will admit to twirling around my light saber every
once and awhile, but that’s as far as my fandom goes. The order in which the movies were
released confused me from the start; I can’t even recall if I have seen them
all. Someone might need to impose an intervention.
