-Megan, Ha! It appears there is a lot of that same confusion going around! My husband is resolute in his conviction that geeks = Star Wars and nerds = Star Trek. I guess paradigms are getting flipped left and right!

I thought NERDS liked Star Wars and GEEKS like Star Treck! hmmm… this changes my entire worldview. :)

-Blanche, Ha! The dialogue in the new Star Wars movies is so awful I can barely sit through them and don’t even get me STARTED on Jar-Jar Binks. Blech. I agree, however, that Jean Luc has his merits.

-Delisa, I love both too! You see, I have the exact opposite understand of geek vs. nerd. Wes assures me that geeks are the ones with good social skills.

Um….I LOVE both, and I do not understand people that don’t….but I call myself a nerd. I was always under the impression that nerds were into supposedly “not cool” things, but can still function social situations, while geeks have horrible social skills.

Star Wars, but only the original 3 because who really needs to see two generations worth of whiny Skywalker men?

But Jean Luc Picard also had his merits.
