Firefly fans are Browncoats.

Babylon 5 fans are "People of Infinite Discretion and Taste" (old joke, sorry) or sometimes 'Fivers'.

Whovians is a term used for Doctor Who Fans.
MSTies (pronounced MIS-teez) used by some fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000...

Farscape are 'Scapers

Not sure I recall ever hearing a nickname for BSG Fans? I suppose Capricans or Galacticans would probably work, but, I don't think I've heard them used

Wait, I though B5 fans were "Lurkers."

Enterprise and Voyager fans are "Idiots."

I've seen "Frakheads" used for BSG fans, and not in a disparaging way.

I've seen Star Wars fans called "Warsies" on this board. Which is the stupidest nickname ever, but it is out there.

There are the Ronulans and there is a book called Rise of the Vulcans about the Bush administration.

I've seen them called "Warheads", but that might have just been one guy's idea.

Sounds like a band to me.

Lurker was adopted to name those who only read BBSes, but, don't post

I don't think I like anything enough to want to add an "er" to the end of the name and call myself one.

As someone old enough to remember when the" Trekker"/"Trekkie" debate was fresh, call me anything but late for dinner, I don't care...

I wouldn't call most LotR fans "Hobbits", though. Calling someone a Hobbit on the internet seems to generally be meant as an insult
