I told her about a show that was horrible! and then I got sucked into the show and fandom...so yeah now I try to reserve judgement until I've seen more of something.
STORY OF MY LIFE BY THE WAY. xD I don't know how successfully I've managed to not get hoisted the petard of my own past opinions by just not really talking about things I hate, but I think most of my major fandoms have started out as things that I initially dismissed as just not my thing on the basis of the first couple of episodes. There are definitely things that I've loved from the start, but I think because of the flawed-yet-fannishly-compelling nature of the things I've tended to fall into major fan-love with, the more typical trajectory for me is that I'm not really into it on the basis of the first episode or two ... and then I start having FEELINGS and suddenly I stop caring about the other stuff that initially turned me off.
