I found the forum and wanted to join.
I finally watched the show after seeing glimpses on Disney Channel just over 20 years ago. I knew the theme song, I remember some of the clothes that Fi wore, and I know that she mysteriously vanished and Annie showed up.
Yeah, I know all that but I never actually saw a full episode, until now, thanks to Disney Plus. I was completely unprepared for Jack and Fi's brother/sister relationship, it's really something special. The plots are really mesmerizing. I think it's because Episode Descriptions didn't really exist then, I could never get into an episode unless I knew the story.
I also have to say, Cara did such a great job playing Fi that I believed she was really like that.
I found the infamous documents of what would have happened if the show hadn't been completely turned upside down, wild stuff.
guess I can officially call myself a fan now.

Welcome to the fandom! Thanks for sharing your unique perspective on the show, having watched parts of episodes when the show aired and now rediscovering it on Disney+. I wonder if there is anyone else who is giving the show another try. I hear a lot of people say they didn't watch the show because it seemed too scary.
Jack and Fi's relationship is my favorite on the show, and a big reason why I think season one is just as great as season two.
Did you find us through Google?

Yes, I found you all through Google. I should get to the podcast soon, because Fi's curiosity is infectious.
I'm okay with discovering the rest of the show now, since I've had my own spooky experiences, but that's for the Paranormal thread.
Also, I also hope that the show gets an iTunes/DVD release soon. I don't wanna keep leeching off Disney Plus, which I why I find it interesting that they have a "I watched everything I wanted to" option in the Cancel Subscription section.

We are trying to figure out a way to become more visible for fans rediscovering/discovering the show, so that's good to know that you found us through Google.
I understand what you mean about not wanting to continue feeding the Disney+ machine. I don't think we're going to get a DVD, unfortunately, because it's not really Disney's thing to release shows on DVD anymore. We can always hope.
The forums aren't too active these days, but we have a discord where people still chat regularly. Here is the link.
