    just the original. I have seen almost all of TNG and their movies. Tried to get into Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, it was meh to me. I did like Voyager.....is it Voyager? The one with the female captain. Just haven't sat down to watch them all.

    You should watch the Gorn episode, at least, purely for the cheesy horrible fight between Kirk and the Gorn! It is hilariously bad!

    I am solid enough in my geek-card that I'm going to throw these out there.

    Finished Lord of the Rings
    Watched Dr. Who.
    Played Magic the Gathering.
    Made love to a woman who will either dirty talk in Klingon or wear a TOS security uniform.

    dirty talk in Klingon or wear a TOS security uniform.

    I frequently do the former and would happily do the latter but it freaks out my husband when I go too trekkie!

    I have not/never:

    Been to a Star Trek convention (but changing this in August next year!)
    Watched an more than one episode of Dr Who
    Seen the point of Star Wars
    Dated a man who speaks more Klingon than I do

    Simply must butt in and scold those of you who have never seen the original Star Trek or the original Batman. What do you do when you encounter a tribble? And I guess that the words ZAP! and POW! have no special significance for you? How sad! How very sad! Just don't tell me that you've never seen an episode of Lost in Space. I worry about the younger generation.

    Dude!!!!!!!! YOU have never seen Bruce Lee with Green Hornet?!?!? Star Trek or BATMAN original series?!?! Gasp! Ok, am I that old?!?!?!
    So I know you never saw Ultra-man! Ha!

    I have never: read the Harry Potter books either but saw the movies (not the last one yet).
    I have never mountain biked, boxed or canoed but I want to do all of them.

    I have never played D&D, but oh how I wanted friends who did. I am and will always be the lone geek in my group of friends.

    I've never seen any of the Star Trek movies. This is because my older sister (the ultimate Trekkie) took me to see TWOK when I was about 5 and I had night terrors over that horrible scene with the helmet and the little brain eating cockroaches. To this day over 30 years later I will not watch that movie.

    I never took physics, though I feel like I'm letting my geek self down by not having a stronger grasp of math and science. I'm working on changing that in my progeny as I geek-shape my 7 year old daughter.

    I have never been to a (or THE) comicon. Again, something I always wanted to do. Someday!

    I did have all of the ROTJ bubblegum trading cards, however. :laugh:

    I have never seen E.T. ( came out same week as TRON, guess where my money went! )
    .....owned an Apple cult product ( my Apple IIe doesn't count, Woz made it )
    ....watched Buffy, Dollhouse, or Firefly ( Didn't have cable back then )
    ....never had Starbucks ( none in my area anyway.....black coffee is for purists like me )
    ....never been to a foreign country where I wasn't shot at.
    ....never played an X-box, or PS ( the only consoles in my house are NES and Atari 2600 )
    ....never paid more than $400 for a computer ( build them myself )

    I'm sure there's lots more, but these are geeky things.....

    I've seen Lost in Space and it is awesome. I know the ZAP! and POW! from comic books.

    ....watched Buffy

    ^ Oh my you need to do this!! (it's my guilty pleasure :D )

    I have done a lot of geeky things in my life (namely played DnD, Magic the Gathering,Warhammer,MMORPG's etc etc)

    But I I have never:

    *Read Harry Potter...I have tried but I just can't get into it...my husband has read them all and loves them!!
    *Been a huge Sci-Fi fan...I watch StarGate Universe (occasionally) and Red Dwarf XD
    *Been a Doctor Who fan...*waits to be shot at*
    *Read LOTR...again tried...just can't get into it

    Of the above I am only really interested in watching a bit more Sci-Fi...I can take or leave the rest ;)

    @ElementalEsca I am guilty of most of the above too! You should watch Bleach though, it's great :) (I personally recommend it subbed as opposed to dubbed!)

    ....watched Buffy

    ^ Oh my you need to do this!! (it's my guilty pleasure :D )

    Still my all time favorite show. I have the Chosen Set on DVD... makes me think I need to pick it up on on Bluray. As an aside, we named our daughter Alyson after Alyson Hannigan because of Buffy (before her HIMYM days). How's that for guilty pleasure, haha!

    ^ Oh my you need to do this!! (it's my guilty pleasure :D )

    Fair warning though, season one is ...actually kind of bad. So like, if you wanna do it, be prepared to think "what the hell why did people like this" -- and then also later it kind of jumped the shark I hear (I stopped watching) but there were certainly a few very solid seasons in the middle.

    And fair warning although by now I guess the whole squid knows this - my husband says I don't like ANYTHING whole heartedly. So you know. There's that. I TOTALLY DO THOUGH.

    I have never:
    - Tried a cadbury cream egg... They just look so yummy!
    - Spoken Japanese except in class, I get so panic-y that I start tearing up.
    - Cosplayed
    - Finished Twilight (thank god, that first chapter was bad enough)
    - Gone to a party without drinking (I'll add that I rarely go to parties)
    - Had a fight with anyone (7 years of being in relationships, I'll never understand couples who fight with each other)
    - Understood why TBBT is popular. It's 20 mins of "lol nerd reference", I prefer the IT crowd. *hides*

    ^ Season one is kinda bad?! *shakes her fists* ...Nah it's a fair comment, it is pretty cheesy (the whole show from start to finish to be honest) but that (for me) makes it all the more enjoyable *blushes*

    Alright, first of all I will admit that I read Twilight...but I had a reason, I swear! I had to read it for a class where we compared it to Dracula (shame on vampire fans who haven't read that or any Anne Rice) and it was a super interesting concept. Plus it made me hate Twilight all the more and now I can actually pull references from the book when I bash it! *WIN*

    Other wise, I have never:

    Played DnD or Magic, though I flippin love Pokemon, even at 23
    Seen any anime other than Full Metal Alchemist or Death Note
    Finished "The Hobbit", though I've tried twice
    Seen any Star Trek (other than the episode where Spock goes back to get his alien nasty on...also the new movie)

    Ok, initiate hate mail now...

    OK, I have never:

    been to any convention of any kind (Comicon is on my bucket list)
    seen Star Trek
    left the country
    used the word n00b in a sentence (this doesn't count)
    played an RPG (though I did LARP once before I knew what the word meant. My friends and I were cats from the Warriors series)
    paid taxes
    been to a concert that wasn't at school
    sky dived
    windsurfed
    paid for a gym membership
    seen Dark Shadows (the movie or the show)
    gotten drunk, high, or stoned
    been to Broadway
    been to Wal-Mart
    had a hamburger (proud vegetarian for 10 years!)
    liked Justin Bieber
    been to the top of the Washington Monument
    done a convincing accent

    There's more, but I can't think of it now
    My friends and I play a sober version of Never Have I Ever, but we call it Ten Fingers, since everyone starts out with ten fingers and you put one down every time someone mentions something they haven't done that you have. it's really fun to play around three in the morning :)
