VP, are you locating or, being a mad scientist, creating a she-geek.
Mine is a half way she-geek, likes watching the sci-fi, but doesn't get in to it. She really doesn't really give a crap on how a M/AM reaction works, dang woman.

Here's where the problem exists.
Normal person "getting into it": "Wow, I can't believe what's just happened to Data/Buffy/John Cleese. His/Her emotions must be all over the place right now.
Geek person "getting into it": "Wow. I can't believe that the Enterprise doesn't have redundent power-generation methods that work inside of a g-type nebula."
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The gimmick-value lasted about as long as the name itself. And please, Dennis Hopper as bosnian madman? He sounded like Emperor Palpatine with a Kansas accent. Go back to snorting laughing gas, D.

I can't tell if I'm more attracted to her or to Dennis Haysbert. He's so dreamy.

Well, I attempted to determine the full extent of my wife's pseudo-geekness. We've established she likes 24, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, and The X-Files. All choices that true geeks will find risible no doubt.
She also reminds me that she likes original Trek, and even the Next Generation. But she loathes Janeway, as the following whispered conversation just as Nemesis was starting illustrates. . .
quote:Kate: "I can't believe I've come to the cinema to see a Star Trek film. Just so long as it's not that bloody Janeway woman, though, I don't mind." Lee: "Ah. . ."
But, then she said something even more astounding yesterday. . .
quote:Kate: "You know who Liam reminds me of? That guy from Buffy The Vampire Slayer." Lee: "What?!" Kate: "Yeah, that guy with the spiky blond hair." Lee: "SPIKE?!"

Must be the accent.

I'm tempted to point out that my accent is not especially unique over here.
But I'm far too busy going "Woooooo!"
