i challenge you to battle of wits considering popular sci-fi... be it babylon 5, star wars, star trek, doctor who, stargate... i dare you to outnerd me...
I can't compete. Although I could talk about political jargin, Anime, Asian culture (I'm white) and fight sports. When I was 14 I watched every single episode of dragon ball, dragon ballz, and GT and all the movies in about a month and a half. That's over 500 epidoes. Top that homeboy.
ive seen every episode of star trek and all its incarnations 10+ times ive seen every episode of babylon 5 ive seen almost all episodes of stargate sg1 at least 3 times
i'm not smart enough to be a real nerd but i did read quite a bit from the late 60s through the late 80s. at one time i did have a collection with at least one author for every letter of the alphabet. but the way i'm living now, have had to be for the past 15 going on 20 years, i haven't really been able to keep up. so i'm mostly ignorant about anything new. the way old folks are supposed to be i guess, but i hate being in this way. people bitch about other people not 'working', having no idea how much they, or at least i, would rather be doing so then living the way i am. if there were any way out visible to me i'd take it. without going into a long diatribe about how why there isn't. i'm not much on competing either. i see competition as something rome invented to conveince slaves they were free while keeping them slaves which is what capitolism and probably other idiologies as well does today. but i am very much interested in what i see as the genre. the real stuff. the written stuff. hall clement and fred pohl and so on. b5 and farscape are probably as close as i've seen anything in popular mainstream media come to it. trek's heart was in the right place mostly, but a victum of an 'all human universe' concept, that may have gotten modified toward the end but still there. and the idea that it would be us to go out there and invent a galactic united nations instead of joining it as the new kids on the block we far more probably are. that part was/is pure silliness of collective ego. =^^= .../\...
this is more recent i think, then i have been to a movie house. that's totaly cool for you. i wish i could say the same, but this is yet one more i have yet to see. =^^= .../\...
I could probably out Buffy you... or out "Joss" you in general. I know my StarTreks, but probably not as well as you... although I did once dress up as 7 of 9 for Halloween.
Not all SCI-FI but.... I read the Silmarillion and enjoyed it! Also my cat (before he died) was named Smaug. I also watch LOTR marathons and own/owned the Hobbit, ROTK and even the live action LOTR cartoons I can actuly prove that Wookies are able to speak Basic.(In the Thrawn trilogy a Wookie had a speech impedment and was able to speak basic) I play Warhammer 40K as the Nids I've played every well kown MMO accept GW Oh yeah...I work Tech Support for several ISPs (First, Secound, and Third shift) and enjoy it most of the time I know there are 10 type of people in the world In 7th or 6th grade I made a video documentary on Bigfoot as a reading project.

Well Jerry, you are indeed a classic nerd but there other types of nerds, i myself am a video game nerd, i can complete most video games (except sports games... i dont try) in one night...
i wish i was a nerd...all you guys have something you've spent alot of time on...i have nothing really...i don't have enough attention span to care about something that long other than activism and protests
hehe ya...Like the Earthlink Commercial "Geeks get it done and a Nerd dosen't"...."And we're geeks" or something along those lines.
I dont know about that... i complete video games... nothing more... i dont get much done... im the modern stoner geek... im trying to change that, not so much because i dont get along with people... i just dont get out enough...
Don't know exactly what you're looking for here - I've seen every ep of every ST series as well (and all the movies of course), many times. I've also seen every ep of every BSG series... Farscape... ROBOTECH and MACROSS! Star Wars geek of course... The list goes on! I addition, I'm a comic/manga head. Animephile. Simpsons geek. And to top off the geekiness, I haven't actually watched TV in years. Haven't even owned one. I watch DVDs (commentaries rock!) and download torrents. Who ever said you can't have a vagina AND be an uber-geek?
I think he is look for a nerd pissing contest - to see who can prove they're the biggest nerd... all though ultimatley i would think the winner would be the person who takes it the most seriously
