You know you're a geek when... (complete the sentence)

You know you're a geek if you get in heated arguments over the flaws and merits of SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE.
You know you're a geek if you queued outside the cinema and paid money to see SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE. :vulcan:
 
You know you're a geek when:

You know the difference between Adamantium and Vibranium.

You are Techno Bill.

You can name all the actor who played Dr. Who in order.

You knew that there really is a star named Wolf 359 before The Best of Both Worlds first showed.

You get ALL the jokes in The Big Bang Theory.

You know what the differences are between the books and movie version of The Lord of the Rings.

You know what my screen name here, Vanyel, references.

You can quote nearly all of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
 
you know you're a real Doctor Who geek if you can name more than the 12 actors who played The Doctor in official TV episodes.

you fail at Doctor Who geekery if you don't know why I just said 12, not 11. and no, body doubles don't count.
 
You know you're a geek when you write a chapter on Star Trek in the soon-to-be launched Geek Mook.

By the way, a 'mook' is a cross between a magazine and a book.
 
You know you're a geek when you sit around wondering just HOW much of the timeline the Temporal Cold War might have changed.
 
You know you're a geek when you have to explain to your special needs child's teaching assistant that your child is not insulting other staff members when he says "Where did you get that dress? It's awful!" to them, but that he's quoting Johnny from Airplane!
 
You know you're a geek when you get into a prolonged and serious discussion about which childhood cartoon show was better: The Smurfs? Or the Snorks?
 
... you exclaim, "They're remastering Star Trek with all new visual effects! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!" while sitting next to your pregnant wife.
 
Question at hand:

Are we geeks? Or are we, in actuality, nerds?

I hand said question over to you, Frederick W. "Ogre" Palowaski of Adams College.

...your girlfriend starts watching So Notorious, and you don't mind because it's got Zachary Quinto.
 
hardly, he was the Eighth.

it was a reference to the actor Richard Hurndall who played the First Doctor in The Five Doctors as William Hartnell had passed away.

I thought it was a reference to the Valeyard. It he considered a Doctor?

no, he's a villain.

So, at times, is the Doctor.

Besides the 11 (including McGann), there's also the robot duplicate of the First Doctor, there's the alt-First Doctor from Five Doctors, there's the Valyard (which is the evil/dark side of the Doctor sometime between his 12th and final incarnation), we also cannot forget about Jefferson aka "The Next Doctor", and an argument could be made for for the robot shape-shifting Eleventh Doctor in Utah.

Off the top of me head.
 
You know you are a geek when your spell check can correct all of the names of all the peopel in all of the different universi you know about.

I'll invite the wrath of every old-school Whovian on the board and bring up the fact that Peter Cushing has also played the Doctor.

(Mind you, I have no idea if those films were televised or if they were shown in theatres. All I know is that most DW fans consider them apocryphal. I've never actually seen them.)
 
no, they don't count as in that Doctor Who is his name and he's human.

and it was Jackson, not Jefferson. and he was never the Doctor.
