Fandom(?) meme

Not sure exactly what a fandom is, but here's a list of ten clues which each relate to a film, series, book, etc. which I like. What's what?

Edit: I shall now reveal the anwsers! Feel free to throw things at me.

1. Its creator(s) derive much of [his/their] humour from forcing a handful of characters together who just can't stand each other. (Red Dwarf; guessed by deralte, random-bloke-in-pub and digitalraven)
2. According to an old joke, the main character has three ears. (Star Trek; guessed by dsky, digitalraven and original_aj)
3. Apparent references to marijuana use and... erm... sexually ambiguous relationships are actually just the result of cultural shifts since this work was created. (The Lord of the Rings; guessed by dsky, figg, brucec and digitalraven)
4. The title character is actually a different person in each installment, but with the same name. (The Legend of Zelda games; guessed by oddity_uk)
5. According to this work, it is universally possible to order a gin and tonic. (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books; guessed by yodathedark, dsky, figg, deralte, digitalraven and original_aj)
6. Entities which are harmless, obedient, and self-preserving. In that order. (Isaac Asimov's Robot Novels; guessed by dsky, figg, deralte, galaxy_girl00, digitalraven and original_aj)
7. One's vocalisations of distress, emitted into a vacuum, will be impossible to detect. (Alien; guessed by dsky, figg, oddity_uk, galaxy_girl00, deralte, digitalraven and original_aj)
8. Should one 100,000,000,000-km-tall being wish to wed another, the title object would probably make a good token of his intent.   8^)   (Ringworld; guessed by dsky, figg, deralte, digitalraven and original_aj)
9. The main character is named after a Greek princess, but (partially) modelled on a Japanese one. (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind; guessed by nobody [oops!])
10. Origami causes angst! — but only in the Director's Cut. (Blade Runner; guessed by dsky, figg, galaxy_girl00, digitalraven and original_aj)

I like clue 8. Clue 8 is on crack.

Is 4 supposed to be Quantum Leap?
