Lord Mhoram Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I watched (or at least tried) all the superhero TV shows - abandoned Gotham about 6 or so episodes in, and haven't come back to agents of Shield for season three. Peggy Carter I dropped after a couple. I watch Flash, Arrow, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. So I got geek cred there... So finding areas I don't have geek cred.... Superhero related - I don't really buy many comics these days - due to quality for writing though, not lack of interest in the genre. I don't prefer Star Trek or Star Wars over each other - so I guess that makes me unusual. I tend not to read any kind of fan Fiction. I've only read 2 manga, and I've only seen 3 or 4 anime series (which I watched with the wife). So that is limited. I don't play PC video games at all- Console player all the way, and I never Video Game RPGs. when I play my video games it's action, platforming, music or "casual" gaming. Never been to any kind of convention ever. Never watching Game of Thrones, and will never go back to reading the books. Never finished Robert Jordan. I can't stand Swords and Sorcery fiction so I hate Conan, Fafrd & Grey Mouser and the "anti S&S" Elric. Not sure how much cred I destroy with those.

Old Man Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 That reminds me, you and I need to have a final showdown during the end times. Remind me what we decided on? Was it swords, knives, or naked jello wrestling? To the death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Unless the two of you are dead ringers for Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kate Upton, I would reconsider the naked jello wrestling thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Other than an excerpt from Atlas Shrugged for a Business class in college and various early Rush lyrics, I haven't read anything by Ayn Rand.

That just shows you have taste. I remember watching the first season of Andromeda and saw the Nietzschian reading Fountainhead. And I thought - a race built on the philosophy of those two is perfect for the bad guy race. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I don't like David Tennant, or more specifically, consider him a character actor of no particular note. Can't stand Heinlien's juvenile fiction(meaning, the stuff written for young boys). Don't like Star Trek DS9. Have yet to see a sequel to a comic book based movie that was not worse than the original, and always derivative of it. I am only tolerating the very idea of something called a speed force because I'm enjoying the flash show. Oh, yeah, the last time I liked Wolverine was in the 1980s. And I don't have any particular opinion either way regarding the back to the future movies, which is apparently unheard of. Finally, I can't stand Stan Lee.

Rails Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 That's strange... Not so much to me. I've tried watching several episodes and just can't get into the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not so much to me. I've tried watching several episodes and just can't get into the show. Which version ? I grew up in the 70s and the 25 minute version had a cliffhanger at the end of each story. 20 episodes a year on a Saturday night. Wonderful. I can understand why people might not be into the new version. Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've watched Dancing with the Stars so much that I can predict all three judges' scores correctly at least 75% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Seek help. I have reached a point where I strongly dislike Star Wars themed merchandise. It's everywhere, and it's all ugly. Why would I pollute my dwelling or office with such stuff? Of course it doesn't help that my house is a pig sty. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why people might not be into the new version. Well, I tried watching a couple of episodes with my Whovian college roommate around 1992, but I couldn't tell you when they were filmed. I tried watching a handful of episodes of the new one over the past couple of years. I honestly couldn't tell you much about any of the episodes--they just didn't hold my attention.
