cat_77: Katie being awesome (Katie)

Geeks!

So I'm pretty sure a lot of people know about this already, but I figured I would mention it here anyway.

Do people remember the story of a little girl getting teased and bullied for bringing a Star Wars water bottle to school? And how pretty much every geek who heard about the whole thing wanted to support her?

Well, tomorrow, December 10th, has been deemed a day to show your geek pride and wear something Star Wars related. To one up that, the little girl's parents have requested that people gift something either Star Wars or Sci-Fi related to a child in need. I'm personally hoping Toys for Tots gets an Ewok overload, but maybe that's just me.

Here's an article about the whole thing.

There are enough geeks in the world that we should be able to make a good showing, don't you think?

Fringe!

No real spoilers.

It was angsty and had an actual plot and obvious parallels to Olivia's story. Plus, you know, Broyles being snarky and that is always a good thing. *g*

Just had to again say how much I like the writing on this show - the characters' personalities are so quirky, but so consistently quirky that it makes the whole thing work. Astrid is so awesome with Walter, who is awesome with Peter and Olivia in his own ways. Broyles knows them all well enough to not necessarily not be surprised by what they come up with, but to just kind of roll with it when it happens. And Olivia... Anna Torv is just quite awesome playing all the little nuances wrapped around her.

Also, someone needs to make Broyles' quote about emergencies into an icon. Just saying.
