¡Fue tan interesante!

I was sure that this would have been ¡Era tan interesante! Because I thought that the imperfect was used when describing something? 

There seems to be a lot of doubt in this sentence. What would trigger only the subjunctive?

Thank you. K

- Ella cree que habrá consecuencias.

- Creía que era una bicicleta por participante. 

Because the subject in the two examples above believed/thought that …(creer que) …, I would have used the subjunctive in the second clauses. I equated this to querer que and esperar que both being followed by the subjunctive. What am I missing?

You answered a question at the bottom this section  (to Papi on April 16,            2018) and said:

This sentence could be using both "fui" and "era" depending on the the timeframe when the action happened, being more specific (preterite) or more irrelevant (imperfect).

Could you expand a bit on the "irrelevant (imperfect)" which is an interesting perspective, I hadn't come across before.
