when you put them all together, the show somehow becomes less than the sum of its parts for me That was beautifully phrased! :)
I really feel with you on the absurd love. I think in my time in fandom I haven't loved a *show* as much as I'm loving SGA ecept for my very first fandom, Buffy. Like you, I can't explain it (though you come pretty close with the...and the...), so I just stay with it. Unlike most shows I watch right now, where I'm desperate to see more eps in a row (and will purposefully withhold new eps from myself in order to get that immersion experience), SGA is great watched in pieces, watched one ep at a time.
Then again, I am a fan of fandom, so whatever gaps *are* there, I know some kind soul will fill them.
But you're definitely not alone in the slight puzzlement of finding yourself madly in love with what you really, really shouldn't be....
