What is your geeky/nerdy guilty pleasure. I don't mean Dr. Who or Torchwood which can pass as "cool" and at least have an sense of belonging in Pop Culture (well, at least Dr. Who does) I mean, something legit geeky/nerdy?

I'm watching Contact right now, but when I'm sick all I want to watch is Dune and sometimes Dark Angel...judge me about the Dune and I'll cut you, judge me for the Dark Angel and I'll nod in agreement.

    I loved Dark Angel.

    I don't know how geeky/nerdy this is, but I am totally into the SyFy show Face Off. It's a competition for special effects artists.

    ok, so i was watching the GI Joe movie this weekend (don't judge me, i wanted mindless and it WAS) and all i could notice was that the Cobra guys were wearing DS9 command uniforms. so then i had to watch some Trek.

    i can sing every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And do. Randomly. without much volume control.

    i think that there is NO higher debate than comic debate. and i think i proved that point on here.

    i do not judge you for Dark Angel. i do not judge anyone watching Jensen be pretty. thinking of, i need to order a copy of Ten Inch Hero... *wonders off to amazon*

    I know every line to Jurassic Park 1 and 3. Jurassic Park 2 is just the awkward middle child. Oh, and I'm a Gleek!

    You're an out of date nerd. You need to pick up Star Wars The Old Republic and get your nerd card re-stamped.

    First if all, I :heart: Doctor Who! It lives on my Netflix instant queue along with every Star Trek series.

    My true guilty geeky pleasures are cheesy formulaic fantasy novels. Magicians, dragons, and enchanted weapons, yea baby!

    Me and my husband... and our friends dress up as either the Ghostbusters, the Justice League, and other random characters! We do it for conventions or just for the hell of it :tongue:

    We are marching in the St. Paddy's day parade in Boston this year as the Ghostbusters!
  • I love movies with abnormally large animals, like Godzilla, Mothra, Anaconda and Lake Placid, even the crappy ones on the SyFy channel. And I totally watch Finding Bigfoot peeking out from under my covers in case they really find one!

    Firefly/Serenity. I LOVE IT.
    Hubby and I go to Can't Stop the Signal screenings every year that we can.
    Then there's Gen Con.
    And EVE Online.
