I had a local FK group and some smaller lists as well, and things got heated, because certain groups (and I'm not naming names because I literally do not want to restart old grudges) took extracanonical sources as authorial as proof of their OTP being supported by the PTB and therefore the same thing as canon.
I had to hear about things like that scene for hours - literal, actual hours - in person, because I was friends with someone who was obsessed with it. Which was probably better saved for someone who actually shipped her pairing? But I was there and in the fandom and didn't walk way like I really ought to have done. ETA: I wouldn't have minded it for a while, but oh my God, hours? Really? I should not have.
You know, I think one of the things I had heard about you, specifically, before I actually met you is that your TV had cut out before the ending of Human Factor and that during the discussion it took a while before it came out that you had not been able to see the full end of the episode. I'm glad that you found the fandom, though, as that means we get to be friends!
