    Is Sherlock a geeky thing? I may have upped my geek cred, there! And if one can also "geek" at music, I was in choir all throughout highschool. I also have read all of the Discworld series (RIP, Mr. Pratchett!) and am knee deep in Hitchhiker (late to that particular party, I realise. And RIP, Mr. Adams).

    @Redbeard333 I'm sorry! I do LIKE Peter Capaldi, just couldn't get on with him as The Doctor. I prefer him as a sweary and mean Malcolm!

    OF COURSE Sherlock is a geeky thing!! (Tumblr has been all but destroyed by the fandom in the best way possible lol). I do love Peter Capaldi, his sass especially. I don't know, maybe it's the fact that everyone has "their Doctor" and Matt Smith was definitely mine. Mostly because his utter awkwardness was so relate-able to me.

    Before kids I was a big anime, comic book, steampunk geek. Now I don't have time for any of it. @ladyahiru I didn't like the CLAMP stuff after Magic Knight Rayearth. The ending was messed up. I would say my favorite animes were probably Beck, FLCL, S-cryed, Brain Powered (although I hated the voices in the japanese version and the English dub), and I loved every Gundam series.

    The only "steampunk" type stuff I've read lately was the Lindsey Buroker (not sure if that is how you spell it) books.

    I only was into Gundam Wing!
    Duo Maxwell was the reason i let my hair grow out as a 13 year old^^

    In for the Oxford comma, or serial comma as it's known on this side of the pond.

    I just want to say that all of you guys are so freakishly awesome and y'all put a huge smile on my face today. Every single one of you! :smiley:

    For those telling me about the groups on here, thank you! I did not realize that there was a group like that on here. I was merely trying to gain some uber geeky nerds as friends. :wink:

    Computer games: World of Warcraft, Diablo II and III, and Banished.
    Science fiction: I'm old-school - grew up on Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury, et al.
    Fantasy: I bend the knee to J.R.R. Tolkein, whose works, IMNSHO, set the standard.
    Anime: I'm reading the Sailor Moon manga (on the recommendation of my wife).
    Love Star Trek (except Enterprise and the new reboots), and Babylon 5. Not into Dr. Who, and dislike Walking Dead intensely.
    I loved the first four Harry Potter books, and hated the last three.

    I've got one fantasy novel published already, and working on a second, though this one is more science-fiction than fantasy.

    Hola! I guess I count as a geek. I'm a huge music history geek, play videogames (I finished all of the Dragon Age games and am working my way through Fallout 3 and the Mass Effect series. I also really love platformers, even though I'm pretty bad at them.) I also like comics, usually Image stuff.

    Yeah, hey. I got disenthused by the whole nerddom thing in mainsteam media lately. Geeky is just a way to be not something to aspire to or like show off how geeky you are. Meh, mainstream ruins everything for me. But yeah, I haven't really been able to cosplay for the last couple years after, gasp no, gaining 100 pounds all at once. :( I really miss it. I used to do a lot of lolitas or Alice themes. I always wanted to do the chobits or also great fairy from Zelda: Twilight Princess (not sure I could pull it off though.) Fruits Basket and Rurouni Kenshin are my alltime favorite animes. I've been getting back into it more lately. I'm currently watching Princess Jellyfish. So cute. The uptight brother reminds me of my boy haha. If anyone else is trying to get in shape to do some cosplay, yeah I would love to talk about that!

    SciFi: BSG, Star Trek (original, Next Generation, DS9), Star Wars
    Video games: God of War, Dragon Age, classic NES, Pokemon (I said it)
    Anime: Not as much as in the past, Miyazaki, random Netflix things, Cowboy Bebop and other Adult Swim stuff

    Malcolm was GREAT!!! Really enjoyed his character there. Another Capaldi character to check out is him in "The Hour"; fantastic show that was only given one season, I think?

    The great thing about Capaldi is that he was a life-long fan of the show. As I say to people "Smith played the Doctor; Capaldi is the Doctor!"
