Media geeks aren't real geeks - they're just the scruffier edge of the
mainstream.  ;-)

(FWIW, I have always found MP to consist of perhaps one part genius
embedded in nine parts tedious repetition or other filler.  Which still
puts them well out ahead of most of what's out there, but it never
fails to amaze me is that fans apparently love the nine parts.  I mean,
it starts out as a horse, maybe not in the very best of health but
still with plenty of miles left in it, and ten minutes of tedium later
there's this hole in the ground suitable to hold the foundation for a
good sized house... and then they do a reprise, adding a cellar.)
