Most likely i was thinking of fanboys when i wrote it, its hard to tell the 3 apart some times ;) The way i see it: Geek is someone with a decent ammount of knowledge that has some weird need to convince others of just how smart he/she is. Nerd is someone that spends a considerable ammount of time hiting the books to attain knowledge (or to whom knowledge comes naturaly without severe effort) and is not afraid to put it to use, but does not necessaraly go out of his/her way to prove how intelectualy superior he/she is. Fanboy is an equal oportuneties term that applies to anyone that has more vested interest into any one topic that can be considered healthy. ... add in the rest of the description of the above comment ;) ... thats how i see it anyway :) Ah yes the fanboy syndrome… nasty afliction that and yes i must agree my description does seem to fit rather well.

For me everything trivia related is geekdom; and what you mentioned I call fanboyism (now that's a word) or nerd stuff but the line is thin ;) Did you have a look at Done The Impossible (the Firefly documentary I mentioned earlier)? The line is very thin indeed. Ok, granted. For me everything trivia related is geekdom; and what you mentioned I call fanboyism (now that’s a word) or nerd stuff but the line is thin ;)

Unless you start dressing up like the characters of the show, having debates with others about pointless stuff that hapened in a particular episode and how it influences the fabric of society as a whole. And view anyone that does not know what your talking about as geneticaly inferior. Then its a geek thing :) hehe, i too recognised the quote straight up… good episode that one, he was tired of doing things the “hard way” as i recal :)

I bow to your l33t geekness Sir Skybreaker! *Sigh* It's really a pity Susan (well, Claudia is her real name) didn't come back to season 5.

The item was created by Sheridan in an attempt to sow doubt amongst the League of Non-aligned Worlds and was part of Sheridans plan to get White Star patrols instated along the borders. . Sheridan had previously sent Marcus to that sector and told him to blow up some asteroids to make it seem as though some activity was taking place. And all from memory... you may now bow down to my geekness ”nothing whatsoever happened today in sector 83/9/12”
