I have to say, when I see fandom forming around a TV show whose pilot just aired, where the characters are still in the prototype stages, the actors haven't settled into their characters enough to imbue them with that something that draws an audience, and the canon has barely been established, I always assume most people doing the flocking are shallow beyond belief.

To feel so strongly about something that is still so new....God, I want to say, get a life.

I thought that the reason the show became so popular was because of Abbie. A female character who is non-white, not a love interest, and actually defends herself all on her own.

Plus Ichabod and Abbie really gel off of each other, and it was fun to watch.

I don't think it's shallow but that the genre, supernatural horror/psychological horror, is incredibly popular in fandom to the point that you practically get an instant fandom with these shows the moment it airs, for some, even before it airs. See Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Hannibal, Grimm, Bates Motel and America Horror Story for example.

Try people shipping characters before the first episode even airs based on character descriptions and publicity photographs (Stargate Universe)

Or people fangirling over a video game character without knowing anything about him or knowing what his voice sounded like in response to people bashing him without knowing anything about him or knowing what his voice sounded like (James Vega in Mass Effect)

I have thought a character seemed badass from playing a video game demo (Bakara in Mass Effect 3), but I held off forming an actual opinion on her until I played the whole game.

Which characters were they shipping in SGU? Matt & Eli?

[(Anonymous)]

Eli and his hand.

[(Anonymous)]

Should've been. Their OTP is so canon. Ha!

I think people were shipping Chloe and Matt before the show aired, after the show started airing people were shipping Chloe and Eli and once she got together with Matt some of the same people branded her a whore (because being friendly with a guy means that you're 100% into him, I suspect the ones calling her a whore were neckbeards who identified with Eli "he's an overweight, nerdy guy who likes a hot girl, he's 100% like me!" and took umbrage at Chloe's "friendzoning" of Eli)

I think the Matt/Eli shippers waited until the show aired and they saw the characters actual personalities

Oh, I see. I think I heard some of that. Mostly at Joe Malozzi's blog.

I got off on the wrong foot with Chloe and didn't like her for season 1a (and for five minutes during the pilot, I thought that Matt/Eli might be viable before they just kind of never hung out or cared about eachother) - complete end of story is that I liked Chloe best at the end and started liking Chloe/Rush...because no one will write the Chloe/Weir crossovers I'd have them write...

I get that, anon. But then again, a TV episode is a little under half the length of a typical movie and one movie is all it takes for people to get invested. And then there's the fact that Tumblr is notorious for exaggeration. And it's always possible for people to get psyched over the possibilities the show might entail. And it's totally seasonally appropriate to get psyched about a show with spooky vibes (Halloween is just around the corner). In addition to that, while I haven't been making gifsets or adorning the headless with flower crowns, I thought that the pilot was amusing and cute and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Oh, and both the leads are attractive, charming people, so that also helps.

You sound like absolutely zero fun.
