I LOVE geeks...don't get me wrong. I am one myself (haha) and I noticed that a good sci-fi TV show all have their own 'geek'/s.
For example 'Stargate:Atlantis' - the scientist gambling over chess to win anime dvd collections.
'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' - some characters are fans of D&D, role playing etc.
'Spaced' series - classic show, full of 'geeky' stuff. Love it.
What do you think?

For some reason, you question just made a scene of SGAtlantis pop in my head. When the scientists are sitting at SG Command and the one guy is at the drawing board talking about the 101 Dalmatian effect of the dogs barking, no one gets it, then he said Lord of the Rings and they all understood (funny scene by the way).
People like characters that they can connect with. And well, let's face it, whoever watches Buffy or Stargate has a bit of geek in them on some level.
What would Buffy be with everyone acting like season 1 Buffy or early Cordelia? The fans would not be able to connect quite as much. I myself am not a D&D fan, but I loved the scene in Chosen where they were sitting playing it. You can connect with them there. Not everyone would be able to sleep sound like some others. I think Anya and Andrew combined for the last season were a replacement for our once loved Geeky Willow.
And with SG1 and SGA, if they were all army people, most of us would not be able to connect at all. It would make the show dull. Don't get me wrong, Jack was amazing, but a bunch of Jack's and no Carter's or Daniel's would make us common dorks a bit hesitant.
As out beloved Willow once said, "Nerds are in. They're still in, right?"

A geek can appreciate the show on levels that most folk don't bother with. :) Look at Trekkies! (no, not Trekkers, Trekkies!)
But a geek isn't always the best person to make the show or film. it depends on how damned talented they are. It's one thing to have the imagination, it's another to use it.
A number of shows are made by accountants rather than creatives and so play it safe. Doesn't always work. Paramount anyone?
Then you take the übergeek - Peter Jackson.
Lord of the rings. Made by a fan = epic!
King Kong. Made by the same fan = not so epic.
Both pet projects, both different results.
A geek isn't always the best person but better to embrace the geek than suffer the accountant.
Unless she's cute. :D

I don't think it's limited to just Sci Fi shows. Every show has a geek if you think about it

it fairly is the frakin best sci-fi tutor ever. for sure i do no longer desire to offer stuff away despite the fact that it bargains with politics, faith, philosophy and love . it fairly is the final written and acted Sci-fi tutor in a protracted time. Plus the themes make you think of. additionally it has an outstanding soundtrack. They paid tribute to the previous Battlestar Galactica yet at he comparable time didn’t in simple terms replace the specific outcomes and make contact with it an afternoon. BSG is an entire revamping of the tutor to examine cutting-edge activities. infinite shows and flicks try, few be triumphant. BSG is going above, previous, and previous the unique (which replaced into additionally of suitable high quality). It’s the 1984 of our time. George Orwell’s 1984 replaced right into a critique on the British empire and a warning of the destiny written in that era’s maximum prevalent medium. BSG portrays the Iraqi profession with via a flipped attitude and comments our ever increasing reliance on technological know-how and technologies over humanity and is a warning for us to no longer provide over all power to robots. They don’t milk it. One final season to rule all of them. infinite shows and flicks flow on for a lot too long, deteriorating right into a large number far removed from the unique followers fell in love with (The Simpsons). BSG is going out on their very own words with out dragging on with no lead to sight. You’ve have been given accessible it to absolutely everyone in touch with the tutor for ending it on a similar time as the content textile remains sparkling and not in simple terms beating the tutor to death to get some extra dollars. smart, reliable, and attractive women. you are able to’t have reliable technological know-how fiction with out intercourse and BSG has a lot of it, even going as far as to offer us some freaky-deaky robotic human family. what's existence? What makes us human? what's soul? Is there a value on morality? etc etc (((Linz))) _()_
