I really love that you'd go back and do it all over again. It kind of makes me think of what it is that draws us to fandom in general - just being in love with something and enjoying it as a group. Before it all goes crazy, as it always does. Even so, there's something wonderful at the core of the experience.

God, yea, the LOTR heyday was amazing...partially because of what you mention: just being in love with something and enjoying it as a group. Not much can challenge my love for Tolkien so all the discussion and adoration going around back then was ideal; I couldn't get enough of it. I've loved plenty of fandoms since, but none of them have been as 'magical' as LOTR was. I doubt any will ever recapture that exact feeling, and I don't exactly mind, but it does make me a bit nostalgic.

There are some good things about coming into a fandom late, but there's nothing quite like being right in the middle of it while everyone else is just as enamored with the source material as you. There's so much to talk about and consume, and the news is so exciting and delightful to revel in.

Even so, there's something wonderful at the core of the experience.

Certainly! Most people wouldn't bother if that wasn't the case.
