Not as many people watch 'Doctor Who' as watch the Super Bowl, obviously, but the tropes that attract nerds are no longer a secret cult. It's a much larger culture, in the specific sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Usually, nerds on TV are completely stereotypical, like Urkel, or they're not really so nerdy.
Nerds are just deep, and neurotic, fans. Needy fans. We're all nerds, on one subject or another.
People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it's just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.
I know what 'Doctor Who' fans are like because I am a 'Doctor Who' fan myself. They're good people.
I think it goes without saying that a lot of big horror fans are just nerds and geeks.
There are generations who watch Doctor Who together.
The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
What I think makes people nerds is just being obsessive. I think that's what nerdiness really is - its people who don't just passively like something, they get passionate about whatever they like.
The thing about 'Doctor Who' is it's chased around the world, so there's 50 fans hanging out at every location.
The hardcore fanbase of nerds that live on the Internet are not nearly as powerful as I thought they were. They really, really aren't. They also flip-flop like mad.
