The problem is nothing in those episodes was in any way good . And it wasn ' t bad like some of the early episodes of Babylon 5 where they were a little directionless and not that interesting . No , they were offensively bad , relying on cheap stereotypes and incredible stupidity to achieve their particular brand of humor . To get from there to a good show you ' d have to gut the characters and writing so completely that it ' d be the same show in name only . To be honest if you represented most group of geeks that I know accurately , you ' d have a few swingers , some people in the BDSM community , a few poly relationships and a lot of nontraditional sexualities . My experience is that geek communities tend to be a lot more comfortable with their sexuality and more adventurous than vanilla communities . But nope , here ' s a bunch of nerdy guys who fall all over themselves for one conventionally attractive blonde . It ' s just fucking stupid . It ' s not representative of any community I ' ve been a part of . Bad writing , bad characters , no plot to speak of , it was crap .
