popslash is sort of dry right now, hopefully Sesa will change a bit (and yes, it's the main reason I decided to give me one hour dialy to write fics. We can let the fandom die :) )
What I don't understand of shows like SGA and their geek shaming is that *other* shows seem to like to point out that geeks and intelligent people *are* cool. You've got the Criminal Minds, the CSI, the NCIS, even the Law and Order where the intelligent detectives are treated with the same respect... Hell, Numb3rs is based around the fact that the FBI *can't* do a thing without their resident math geek!
Sigh. Don't make me start with Sam Carter. I loved her in SG-1 and when I heard she was in SGA, I was about to give it a chance, until everyone told me she was not *exactly* as I remembered her so... yeah, SGA was not for me.
