"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Completely unrelatedly...coolest geek on TV? I'm biased by my overweening current crush, but Alec Hardison? What's his competition? Chuck Bartowski? Sam Winchester (but he's a bit busy being...other things)?

Castle is a big old geek (much, I suspect, like Fillion), but still not at Hardison's level.

John Crichton?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

And now I am actually reading this thing that I had to sign when I did my performance evaluation and it is assinine. It basically says I agree to adhere to the standards and behaviors listed, or I could be disciplined up to or including termination. But the behaviors range from the vague (neat, proper dress, greet people warmly) to the silly and minor (report spills) to the kind of stupid (Introduce yourself and explain your role--- would that be upon first meeting someone, or each and every time you see them!)

coolest geek on TV

Stephen Colbert! He's a LotR fanatic, geeks out about space stuff, and just argued with a musician about the Oxford comma on last night's show.

Punishingly Intricate

Speaking of puffed sleeves, is there an age limit? I like them on me, and I'm a not-at-all-girlish 37.

I'm wearing puffed short sleeves right now and I'm almost 42!

I know nothing of the show that this Garcia is on but it's what my friend's boyfriend's family calls her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think of Castle as particularly geeky at all, not like Hardison or Garcia or Chuck. He's not IT. Same with Crichton, but differently--he's technical enough to be a pilot, but more sciencey.

eta: I should restate--I meant tech god(dess), when I was thinking it...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lisa, I'm now assuming your friend is awesome (which would not surprise me at all). It's Criminal Minds!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hardison's my choice for coolest tv geek.

I work in NGO world (no relation to NGA world, except that I have dual citizenship). People wear jeans, suits, mumus, hippie skirts and t-shirts, you name it. And I haven't seen so many birkis since the last time I went to a UU service.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Tech geek, I'd go with either Abby or McGee on NCIS.

Oh, Garcia would so paint the room with Abby. And McGee wouldn't even know what to do with her.

Of all of the geeks I can think of right now, Garcia's the only one I can see giving Alec a run for his money, and I still think he wins.
