Well, I don't think they have to be sexy. Which might sound like I'm saying the geek bar is set low -- that's not what I mean. But it's not what I'd fix.

I think it's the concept of each shot, the conceit of each one, isn't worked hard enough. I think I like the word geek one best. The others feel like a woman in her underwear in front of a backdrop. Just that.

Those pictures aren't terribly sexy...?

nor are the girls geeky. They just look like soft core porn people with geeky background images.

ETA or what ita said

Something about their expressions are so empty, like all they were asked to do was give their best come-hither stare with no additional direction.

Why is this now an accepted method of generating plots for TV movies? Like the "Category 7!!!" one they've been advertising on CBS. That's NOT HOW these scales work! They are not based on Spinal Tap logic!

Yeah, but they're appealing to a Spinal Tap Logic audience.

My exhaustion cannot be textually rendered.

Poor shrift. This was wedding weekend, right? How was it?

Yeah, show a chick with a big LCD screen running Linux, with about five terminal windows open....
