Why is it that most of the time, the science presented in the science fiction is nothing more than fiction? Or is missing completely? Sometimes you get the odd bit of reality- like Joss Whedon having space be silent in Firefly & Serenity; usually, there’s the sound of engines or phaser blasts or what have you- even though there’s no atmosphere/oxygen in space in order for there to be sound. In fact, we at NerdLush are watching the late ’90s/early ’00s series, Farscape, right now. In the first mini-cap, Em questioned why the lead character- who’d spent most of the episode up to that point reminded the audience that he was a scientist!- got out of his spacecraft and took off his helmet without checking for breathable atmosphere.

29 MarI wanted to write a brief post about the guy we saw at Crazy Girls last night that was missing only the pocket protector from his classic nerd ensemble, but I’ve realized that the post would be catty and that it might appear that I was some sort of “-ist”. I’m not. I was highly amused by the gentleman’s attire. And his whole demeanor in the venue. So I can’t make a quippy post about it. Instead… I share my failures as a fellow nerd. 😦
In my defense though… I had my awesome Serenity sweatshirt on because it was COLD in the strip club last night. brrrrr!
