The most unfortunate thing about producer/fandom relationship is the sure knowledge of the former that, given decent amount of PR, the members of the latter are going to buy any rubbish produced, provided that it is effectively tied up with the original. Even when fans (myself included) know that what they are going to purchase is a failure, they are still going to buy it, just for the look of the thing.
