yeah, my brother's the anti-nerd, and he was way more into video games than me. in a way, it seems nerdier to not play video games.

I don't know what's worse, pretending the nerd versus geek thing is relevant ("I'm a music geek, not a NERD") or thinking that one obsession is worse than another

I mean, unless we're using "nerd" as a euphemism for "socially maladjusted" and "geek" just means "I am really into things"

yeah this is basically my neverending argument against whiney's neverending bile fountain in a nutshell

I ran into some typical comic nerds at a shop I wouldn't expect them at and it wasn't their encyclopedic knowledge that was off-putting, but the way they related to it and the way they expressed it and talked to each other. Same goes for people into most things.

i have yet to be able to watch a twin peaks episode all the way through (doesn't help that I was made to watch Fire Walk With Me before I saw any) but I do love knowing this was ON TV whenever I see a bit.

― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
ftr I disagree with a LOT of these choices, but fans can be all over the place on what the show's best episodes are.
― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
wtf
where are Manos, Egaah!, The Wild World of Batwoman and The Final Sacrifice
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
where's frickin SPACE MUTINY
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
whiney doesn't fuck w/ d&d OR rpgs in general
― the late great, Friday, 3 August 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
I'd have said Manos, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Pod People and at least one of the Coleman Francis trio would all have been absolute no-contest sure things.
― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 19:24 (eleven years ago) link
Racket Girls, Village of the Giants and San Francisco International are probably my 3 very favorite eps, but I don't see many other fans giving those ones major support.
― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
I would have nommed The Girl With Gold Boots but I am pretty sure that's just me being a big booster for some precious nonsense
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
The only ep from seasons 8-10 that I'd rep pretty hard for is The Giant (Wisconsin) Spider Invasion.
― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
srsly though, I almost hurt myself watching Eegah!
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
at least they got Werewolf right.
― WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
time chasers and hobgoblins would have to be on my list too
― WheatusVEVO (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 3 August 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link
Yes to Time Chasers, definitely a top ten. For me, Riding with Death is also on that list.

― balls, Friday, 3 August 2012 22:50 (eleven years ago) link
eh both lists are consistently good episodes, and they rightfully point out monster-a-go-go is a genuine chore in the original. skipped some faves but it's not like they're truly off-t-m
― da croupier, Friday, 3 August 2012 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
I think one of the main other reasons I don't like seasons 8-10 is that they pretty much stopped doing shorts. If I counted them as separate entities, most of my top 10 would be shorts.
― Eric H., Friday, 3 August 2012 23:56 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah so many of my favorites are shorts
― some random MC rappin' mcdude (some dude), Saturday, 4 August 2012 01:24 (eleven years ago) link
I love plenty of movies from the last few seasons but I skip 99.9% of the post-TV's Frank skit stuff.
