...your favourite movie has robots/androids, spaceships and has the word Star in the title.

...you know the proper use of the words Frak or Frell.

...you know what BSG, MST3K or TARDIS stand for.

...you know the connection between THX 1138 and George Lucas

...you know the term Browncoat.

...to you classic books are Dune, Foundation or The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

...you have ever pondered the question:  "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

...you have ever referred to yourself as a "Trekker".

...you know about regeneration and "The Doctor".

...you know how to do a proper "Live Long and Prosper" sign with your fingers.

 

If any of this sounds familar, you are a fellow Sci-fi Geek!  Isn't it fun!

Ok. Guilty.

Some of those apply, some do not; guess I'm not a real hard-core geek then.
Sarah (I want points) Mar 24, 2009, 2:54pm EDT
Some of them apply to me. I do love sci fi, but I don't think I'm a fanatic like some.
Ishbel R. Mar 24, 2009, 3:13pm EDT
Only some apply to me!

If my favorite movie wasn't "The Fisher King," I would have scored 100 percent on this.
Bill's Spirit Mar 24, 2009, 4:47pm EDT

What Fun!!

Thanks

I'm a geek, but clearly not in this category! :)

I missed two (but I know what To Serve Man was). I discovered Analog and Wierd Tales at about 12 years old (that would be 1954, for those keeping score), and then Heinlein and Asimov, and then... I was enslaved by robots and blasters, Foundations and Star Beasts - forever. I have yet to escape.

Not all but enough .
You know the reply to "Live long and prosper" is "Health and long life"
Renee S. Mar 24, 2009, 10:28pm EDT
Hee, hee. My daughter and I knew all of them.
You know what the Bene Gesserit are.
