Burrito Boy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Not only have I never seen an episode of Doctor Who, I can't bring myself to care. I understand that there is a new Doctor who has recently become female, which I approve of, but I am still not motivated to seek the show out. I've only seen a few minutes worth of the newer Dr. Who and it was so bad that I haven't bothered watching a full episode. As for the older Dr. Who, I used to love it but I couldn't get into it the last few times I watched it. I think I may have outgrown it.

Badger Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 ... Where do Canadian nerds' girlfriends come from? They all live in Manitoba, don't ask me about Manitoba's nerds' girlfriends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen an episode here and there, I found it ok, but not great.

Burrito Boy Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think most of the Star Wars universe is boring. I love the original trilogy. But I can't stand all the expanded universe stuff. bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Have no desire to watch/read Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. Never read "A Wrinkle In Time". Never watched "Supernatural" or "Orphan Black" I can echo the first and last, but I *did* read "A Wrinkle in Time", I think as a second-grader, a year or two after it was first published. As I understand things, that statement is a geekometrically neutral one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the original trilogy, though after that I have a hard time figuring out who botches it up worse between Legends and Canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasBroot Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've read it but I remember absolutely nothing about it besides reading it. It's like a book black hole in my mind - I can give a rough synopsis of pretty much any number of the hundreds of other books I've read (especially all the pulp fantasy consumed as a teenager) - but not that one. Only the book in the Pern series I read comes close to lack of detail .... something about dragons, hyperspace flight (?), and burning threads that were bad if they hit the ground? Heck, I'll submit it - Haven't read (or retained) the Pern series, and have only read one Shannara novel (Wishsong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Never read more than two pages of the Shannara stuff. I am firmly in the :1,$s/Gandalf/Allanon/g camp on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 while I have enjoyed some Dr. Who episodes I've seen (Original runs and more recent decades alike), I'm really not that interested in the mythos or character. I'm not sure to this day what all the fuss is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Never read more than two pages of the Shannara stuff. I am firmly in the :1,$s/Gandalf/Allanon/g camp on those. Ditto. Can't stand the man's writing. I'm not saying it's bad, per se, just not a style I enjoy. I couldn't read his Star Wars novel (for Phantom Menace, I think?)
