Just as examples:

  • I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I’ve never seen the “hawk tuah” video.

    I didn’t watch the show Firefly. I had already been using this screenname for a long time when that show came out, but people began to assume I was a fan and named myself after it.

    While I’m generally a scifi fan and watched tons of scifi TV in those days, the Buffy shows a lot of my friends were into bored the hell out of me and I didn’t feel like checking out another show by the same guy.

    I do have the DVDs on my shelf, having picked them up cheap secondhand ages ago thinking I might just get it over with someday, but the more I’ve learned about Joss Whedon over the years the less inclined I find myself to check it out.

      fwiw, Firefly is nothing like Buffy.
