Geek is chic. I'm a Geek. My friends know it. My family knows it. I'm comfortable in my Geekiness. I embraced it decades ago. I'm not a brainy Geek (well, to some I
am). I'm a "see things differently
than others" kind of Geek. I
marvel at the absurdity of our modern society.
I would rather read a book than take part in a social activity. I enjoy being alone. I like to think "outside the
box." I even find that phrase
absurd. My friends are Geeks. I associate with Geeks. Remember the old saying, "Be kind to a Geek,
he or she might be your boss one day."
Eventually all Geeks have their revenge.
Where am I going with this line of thought?
If you were a Geek you would know.
Here's a clue. Network TV has
finally figured out that Geeks are great consumers of merchandise. Other than bad
fashion purchases Geeks buy all things popular culture. The more obscure the better.
They are walking encyclopedias of catch phrases, solely responsible for the survival
of game and comic book shops, multi-viewers of movies and the guardians of
sarcastic speech.
That's what makes Warner Bros. The
Big Bang Theory Seasons One And Two Blu-ray/DVD/Ultra Violet collections so
priceless.
For the first time Geekness is presented as it truly is-populated by social
misfits who act, dress, habituate and relate to the opposite sex in their own
unique fashion.
What's it like when a quartet of Geeky friends must learn associate with a
lovely female non-Geek who lives in the nearby apartment. Do they shun her or welcome her-or both? For some of the best written and hilarious
scripts ever produced for a TV series you have to check out the two new The Big
Bang Theory collections.
Every conceivable type of Geek obsession is shown. From Cosplay to comic books.
From science fiction films to fantasy-the cast of The Big Bang Theory
nails each and everyone on their Geeky heads.
