Geek things you don't get

[Howard]

I'll start (and this is a big one). Watchmen. Never read the comic (I was a Marvel guy). They hype kept me from the movie theaters when it came out. Bought it yesterday and STILL don't get it. Not bad but not the 2nd coming of Christ either. Also, sooooo long. I have no trouble with the LOTR EE, but had to take a break at the 2 hour mark.

- Lack of hygiene.
- Lack of social skills.
- Being misogynistic/homophobic/racist.
- Sci-fi shows with motherfucking Muppets in them.
- Raging out at other properties that are more popular than the ones you like.
- Looking like a land buffalo or a distant cousin of the mosquito.

Get it together, geeks, you're making those of us who shower, exercise, and have a modicum of sanity and respect for other people look bad!

THIS. SO MUCH THIS

Dr. Who

Sorry Ed. Just don't get it AT ALL.

Fine, but then I get to say I couldn't get into Supernatural nor Buffy the Vampire Slayer or anything Wheedon related.

[Abraham Smashington]

Only Whedon thing I like is Firefly. Buffy and Angel and all that shit can fuck right off.

But seriously, what episode should I watch that would really be the "If you don't like this, you'll never like it"?

Seriously Ed? You're dead to me.

You know I felt the same way, then I got married and got roped into all of the Buffy/Angel shit. There were times I was like WTF? But in the end I was glad I had watched them as the endings to both were nice. Angel's ending was really good/great.

Geek things you couldn't into: being a geek and the associated/required allegience. I like what I like and fuck off.

The internet has brought some like-minded people together but that doesn't mean we have to tow a party line. Variety is ze spice of life. Or, were you expecting ze Germans?

Remember I'm the old man of the board(or was). Where's my Geritol? Good program on History channel...........ooooohhhh how about the weather channel.......someone.... get the paddles........

[Howard]

I hope I'm not the old man of the boards. What a title to own.

Surprised at the lack of Whedon love from Ed. Even if you don't like the series as a whole, there are plenty of great well-written episodes. Hush is a personal favorite.

[Ed Hocken]

Let me clarify, I just couldn't get into Wheedon. There's something about that guy and his stuff that doesn't lure me in.

[Abraham Smashington]

Ed, give me one episode of Dr. Who that will show me what I'm missing. I'm game.

[Howard]

Don't do it Rob! The show is completely incomprehensible.

[Abraham Smashington]

Well at the moment I'm watching Freddy's Dead, so it's not like have I great taste haha.

[Ed Hocken]

Give me some time for this one.

-Edit-

I'd say Silence in the library/Forest of the Dead, Blink or Human Nature/The Family of Blood. That last suggestion is more connected into the Doctor Who mythos. But those are amazing episodes. Especially Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead.

All of those are from the revived series. It'll be more difficult to suggest something from the old series.

Season?
