are we sci fi fans really geeks?

vampire Its always good to a have a speciallity mine i reckon is star wars. Because i have all the books and the soundtrack cd's well except for the proper soundtrack for a new hope.

I suppose my specialty is Terminator, the whole universe just draws me in.

Mine is Star Trek or the Alien movies...

So all the people here talking about their favourite comedies or action movies are geeks too? All the people who mod up their cars for higher performance are geeks as well? All the people talking about their favourite music are geeks too? The only reason sci fi is singled out is because it is more involving than other genres. A comedy for example, is a 2 hour film with a few laughs. Thats it. Watch it over and over and the jokes become stale and it isnt funny anymore. Sci fi doesnt get boring. You can market sci fi with merchandise, so we can be involved with it. Thats the only reason people are labelled as geeks, because they are more involved with their favourite movies than eveyone else is. No different than someone hanging up a few posters of their favourite music idol or slapping a bodykit on their car. Its a hobby and its something that interests us.

*ps I know I quoted an old post, but that comment was totally moronic.

Well said, ✅

I'm a glutton for Sci-Fi and Fantasy. So yeah, I'm still damn proud to be call a geek.

Yes we are Geeks, but are we so different from the sports fans who remember every statistic from every team ever... No... So, I'm a Geek and Proud...

Yes we are all geeks. And we should all be proud of it. Remember; the geeks can still get the chicks. 😮‍💨

No. I'm not one and I know lots of people who aren't. Of course, the genre has its stereotypes and thus most sci-fi fans are labeled geeks. I'm more a horror fan but I dabble in sci-fi as well.

look just because you all like to watch stuff like that dose not mean your geeks,if anything those hard core sports meat heads need to be making these type of threads.I was joke about the sports fan,but no your not geeks

Maybe, but who cares

Yes remember return of the nerds. Yepp 😛 thats right 😉 nuf said.

I love Star Wars more than the average dude but i wouldnt consider myself a SCI FI GEEK
I love Dr Who,the POT APES movies and the original Star Trek but the Next Gen and subsequent series plus Stargate,Farscape,Smallville etc BORE ME TO DEATH.

I have a freind who makes fun of my collection of Vintage SW figures and various other bits of Memorabillia...now he likes soccer...yeah soccer...a bunch of blokes running around with a football
he wears the shirt,buys the magazine,the books and has a miniature replica of his teams Stadium.....wheres the difference.
Oh yeah i have a hot girlfriend and he doesnt...thats about it.
I hate that Sci Fi Geek label but when you get dudes like this walking about pondering who erased Kamino from the Jedi Archives ill guess well always be tarred with the geek brush

though who wouldnt say no to a possessing a full Stormtrooper suit?

Fans are not
Superfans, are

Yes you all are geeks.

BTW Vintge. Yes you are.

Well rather a fan of a couple of sci fi movies than a character in a Playstation game eh

K.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wolfwood I would also love to own a costume from starwars or star trek but i don't think i'd have the balls to wear it, possibly just at home but not outside in the streets.

I have a Vader helmet ...i only wore it once in public after getting drunk at my pals and i wore it walking home round midnight.

my SW collection consists of a near full set of original complete vintage figures/the original vinyl albums,books,trading cards,poster magazines and a few autographs thats all...nothing from the prequels apart from the dvds....so i wouldnt say i was too obsessed.
