I chose #1. I don't feel comfortable writing fanfic without having a firm grasp of everything that's happened. If there are a few episodes I haven't seen, I'll refer to transcripts, but the nuances are just not there in the written form. I do think transcripts can come in handy if you're only working with a few episodes, and you've seen most of it.
Even if I'm writing something that takes place in an earlier season, I think it's important to know what happens past that point in canon because that influences the characterization.
