i'll choose C. i really think that if you took a huge general survey of fandoms you'd find that there are a high percentage of BtVS fans with advanced degrees, weird degrees, or "weird" occupations. & i think you'd find a large number of people in the IT field as trek fans. i think you're a lot more likely to have fans with humanities/liberal arts degrees as BtVS fans than as trek fans, just because of the nature of the storytelling. arcs, etc. & i think the arcs & the weird backgrounds, etc. connect well & that's why you get the high degree of obsessiveness/rabidity in BtVS fandom. we have a thriving community of people still talking after a show is over & the narrative of those conversations is a lot deeper than arguing about farpoint or saying "wouldn't it be cool if captain picard had done such-&-such..."
& yeah, i'm polarizing fandom & making sweeping generalizations about trek fans. all i know is that the viewing parties i've been to are radically different. it's OK to argue with ME, but if you argue with gene roddenberry's construction of morality, you're making an affront to the entire universe.
