Just finished watching Torchwood: Children of Earth. While I like that they try to make the characters face unthinkable choices, I hate that it's so frickin' contrived to get to that point.

Any of you posted on it earlier, please link me. I saw it go by a lot on the f-list, but didn't read any because I didn't want to be spoiled.

So what constitutes a dividing line for you? I think one line for me is when I actively begin pursuing reading fan fiction in a particular fandom.

*nod* Reading (or re-reading) fanfic is definitely one sign for me--and seeking out fanart and meta as well, in some cases. And with smaller fandoms where there isn't much going on, there's a feeling of "if this had more fannish activity, I would so be keeping up with all of it." I just tend to track down fic and discussion on a LJ-by-LJ basis, instead of getting them from communities.

(I'm not sure how well my behavior matches up with other fans, though, since I'm multi-fannish and go back to previous fandoms all the time--even if I'm not actively 'in' an old fandom at the moment I still count it as one of mine, because chances are I could wake up tomorrow and be madly in love with it again.)
