What do you go geeky for? Which cult film, tv series or comic book or character do you love beyond all reason? Perhaps you're a fan fiction writer or a cosplayer.
I have a long shameless love for Doctor Who and look forward to seeing the first female Doctor! I love the Penguin and the Riddler in Gotham and the Daredevil tv adaption is fucking awesome.
Im a Sense8 fan (but not seen the 2nd series yet so no spoilers please!). I've seen a few series of Orphan Black as well but still working my way thru that too.
In the past few years I've also got into yuri anime, which is girl on girl romance usually with magic powers or dragons thrown in for good measure.
I like Star Wars but thought Ahsoka Tano's big moment in Rebels last year was better than TFA. I reluctantly watched Star Trek Discovery and found it won me over.
Although I love aspects of ST, SW and DW as well, they all have become big lumbering beasts of mythology and I find watching newer smaller shows much more rewarding these days.
What about you? What's your idea of geek heaven?
I'm a sucker for The X-Files ever since the beginning and even though the last few seasons weren't that great I'm quite excited to see Mulder and Scully return early next year.
I also go a bit overboard when talking about my favorite video game series which is The Legend of Zelda. Not many people know this but the only real piece of fan-fiction I ever wrote was related to it. I believe I lost that writing when my computer fried a few years ago but, honestly, I'm not sure.
The world wouldn't be the same without Mulder and Scully! Not heard of Zelda fanfiction b4 but Im sure theres a forum on it somewhere out there lol.
I have seen a few episodes of Lie To Me and am def tempted to watch more. I've heard Luke Cage is good but I've not seen it.
I've yet to play Horizon. The new Tomb Raider is a lot like Uncharted and whilst I appreciate Uncharted I wish the new Lara Croft series had more actual... tomb raiding. The second game was more entertaining to me than the first but I can't help but think that the overall writing was abysmal. Not a fan of that all.
Looking at my profile pic, you can tell I have a big thing for Doctor Who, from the old, pre-Chris Ecclestone incarnations right up to the present and, yes I anticipate a female doctor with great excitement.
Yet for me the thing that really gets my geek antenna quivering is whenever I catch a rerun of the ever excellent Babylon 5. From its inception it held so many great ideas and and richly imagined worlds and characters. In this current climate of "fake news" and challenges to the legitimacy of the mainstream media reporting of events, one of the central threads of the series, the story of the weak and arrogant President Clark and his Ministry of Truth's systematic destruction of democracy and any credible opposition in the judiciary and military is so very relevant.
I'm not real big on series besides GOT but I do LOVE movies. The final girl, Siren, the death note to name a few!

I like Izombie too. That was a good series. I hear it's coming back. I don't usually watch more than 1 or 2 seasons of any show except for GOT, so I wont see the new season but it was good.
iZombie Season 4 started 2 weeks ago. Not as good as the first two seasons, but still enjoyable.
I do not understand the popularity of Game of Thrones. The show seemed like morons running in circles. I quit sometime in the 3rd season.
I love the x-files and to be honest got a gillian anderson crush. CW shows such as the flash, arrow, legends of tomorrow, izombie and supergirl I love to watch. Anything dealing with comic books I'll geek over. Same goes for star wars, star trek and back to the future trilogy. I enjoy some anime as well and latest series I've been watching is overlord. Horror is a genre I always enjoy watching. I do miss firefly which to me was a great show just got ended too early. I also enjoy playing video games, nothing better than to play your favorite one to help some with decompressing from the day.
