Episode 5 of Assembly of Geeks

Episode 5 of Assembly of Geeks is up. Definitely a lively discussion, at least when it got to dinosaurs…From the show page:

Merchman has sounded the alarms after learning there might be fake geeks among us!  Are there fake geek female cosplayers showing up at cons just wanting attention?  What about those fail moments when fake geek accusations are called out by George Takei (per the image to the right)?   Can there be MALE fake geeks?  Should there be a litmus test?  Does any of it matter and should any of us even care?  We discuss the “fake geek” debate.

Our special guest is Alex Langley, the author of The Geek Handbook: Practical Skills and Advice for the Likeable Modern Geek.  Bobby Blakey gives us a review of the highly anticipated film, Gravity.  We also learn about the return of the Thunderbirds television series.  We’ll try to make sense of these dinosaur love books.  Finally J.J. Abrams apologizes to everyone who is still very angry about the science fiction movie crime known as lens flares.

During the official meeting, we discuss the most memorable celebrities we’ve met at comic conventions and the Geek Assembly votes on the their most desired superpowers.
