Are you suggesting that one would have to be brainwashed to marry AP?

Well, he's getting on a bit now, not exactly a big name draw, probably
not exactly a millionaire ........... not what I'd call a great catch!
I suppose some of us older females could take him on .......
but he's getting a bit long in the tooth for a "cabana boy" now!

We are soooooo fickle. But at least we're realistic.
I ran across a recent review of the "trailer" that
allowed comments. The reviewer trashed the trailer,
and the commenters trashed the reviewer. They're
obviously still true fans... well, I was too - about a
half-decade ago. Since then, things have changed. Such
as, the end of the series, having to sit through a
somewhat-disappointing sequel, having to sit through
disappointing series/movie outings by Adrian, and
having to bat around the idea of yet another
impending, sure-to-be-disappointing sequel.

I expect he has bad habits by now...so much harder to break in one of
his advancing years. Then again, he surely has gained some experience...
which can be nice...rookies can be so clumsy.

He can still be my cabana boy...after all, someone has to actually get
the towels and pour the drinks.

I don't think we're fickle. No one still frequenting this place almost
10 years after the Series went off the air should be called fickle. But,
as you say, we are realistic. AP is our contemporary and we know what
men of that age can be like <eg>

Someone will always drink the Kool-Aid.

The passing years have simply confirmed the belief (Truth) that HL:TS
was a happy confluence of talent and circumstance. Nothing produced by
any of the parties since then has been half the quality of that
production. I suppose we should be happy that it existed for the five
years that it did.
