Exuding Geekiness since 1984

Recently, infuriated 'fan boys' have been getting their panties in a bunch because, there was a photo shown of the re-boot Netflix She-ra that is coming in November, and they've all lost their cool. So, many of them are b*tching about how the new iteration, drawn and helmed by none other than Noelle Stevenson, isn't the 80s' She-ra we all grew up with. Polygon This "new" She-ra isn't voluptious, curvy nor eye candy for thirsty 'neckbeards' whom only think that a cartoon female has one sole purpose, and that is to have them drool over her. I saw the infamous picture and you know what, at first, my reaction was (to be honest) "hmmm, she's different" but I wasn't "ewww, that's not She-ra!!!" I am proud that Stevenson and Netflix have come up with this new version of her. She's not curvy nor sensual, but she looks fierce, dignified. This is definitely a character that I would love my daughter to gro...

Hello kiddies!! By now most of you have already heard that ABC has announced various names of t.v. shows that are and will be cancelled and to a lot angry fans one of those shows on the chomping block is Agent Carter. Like many of you I'm very sad to hear this announcement. I think that we had yet to see so much more from our favorite leading agent. But unfortunately that is the decision of the studio. And what are my thoughts on this? Because you all know I can never just BE quiet, lol.  Well, I like many of you think that not only did the studio make a huge mistake, they went the easier route. And what do I mean by this? Well, first of yes I am aware that Agent Carter was originally meant to be a filler show while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was on hiatus, but from the beginning when they realized that this show meant to a lot of fans, specifically women, instead of kind of advertising they should have tried a better attempt to have it have more exposure.  And by ...

Alright, it's taken me a couple of days to digest EVERYTHING that has been going on in/around the community. And it's not so much, that I like bringing news or information late, it's also due to the fact that i have to also keep up with my physical therapy for my knee, sowy. ANYWHOO, here we go! OMG, if anyone and everyone has up to this point have NOT seen the teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars story, you REALLY must. Ever since the acquisition of Lucasfilm and Star Wars by Disney (and also that Disney basically deemed the EU non-cannon) I have mainly have been wanting to stick with the MAIN storyline. And why, you may be wondering, well it is because, I grew up in the 90s when the EU WAS cannon (not only were the stories incredible, but they were sanctioned by Lucas himself) and as you can imagine, I was seriously pissed when Disney announced that EU was no longer viable, I (like many other fans) were skeptical and honestly (at least in my case)...

And yes, I am being sarcastic about it. And, of course this is a post, not so much of a rant, but to raise even MORE awareness in the stream of consciousness in the Geek/Nerd community We must admit, that it is prominently male oriented and there are a few celebrated Geek/Nerd girls that 1.) are show cased within our community, 2.) are even of some notoriety of sorts.  As a Geek/Nerd Girl, I must admit that I am aware of this phenomenon that is known as a "fake Geek girl," and I will never understand what a "fake" or "true" geek girl is. Is our Geekiness defined by the amount of collectibles we have?  How many issues of Batman 66, New 52 we have? or maybe simply, we just enjoy the fandom that we happen to be in? I've come across article, after article about how our manly counterparts, usually employ the excuse of "fake" Geek girls, because they can't fathom a girl/woman being into the things that are considered for "men...

I've always known that I was quirky and never truly fitting in the "popular crowd" (whatever the heck that means) throughout grade school and high school.  I was one of the few little girls who felt I had a sense of self from very early on.  I fought my friends over me wanting to be the bad-ass and not the damsel in distress. I knew what I like and who I was, quirky, misfit, completely interested in TMNT, RoboCop, Transformers, Batman, etc, etc.  I wish I could say I look back with fondness my elementary years, but like so many of us (who have been labeled Geeks/Nerds at this point by our peers) these years were torturous.  Being pushed, teased wasn't a very pleasant experience.  I truly felt out of place. By the last years in elementary school I was suffering through the most severe form of bullying, being shoved, hit, slapped by my peers just because I couldn't associate with the "in" programs of the 90s, and for liking Star Trek TNG, Sta...
