I have been battling nerd flu for most of my life.

At times, I was able to overcome it (when I was in a band in high school, for example), but I invariably return to my nerd roots and start talking about phasers, orcs or supervillains.

And now I am a fan of Battlestar Galactica, the geekiest thing I could get into.

I watched the miniseries and loved it volcanically. It's a blend of Terminator man-vs-machine drama with the spatial range of Star Trek plus the underdog status that made me love Firefly so much. My buddy Madams let me borrow seasons 1, 2 and 2.5, so I've got plenty of stuff to watch.

Sci-fi is awesome. So are robots. I am so happy!
