      A friend of mine got fired from his old job by telling his boss that Babylon 5 was a big pile of sh*te.

      And if you’re a nerd, you’ll know that that wasn’t actually a friend of mine, but Tim Biseley, one of the protagonists of turn of the century TV show Spaced, played by Simon Pegg.

      If we need to ask whether something belongs on this list, the answer is yes.

      Except Babylon 5. For Babylon 5, the answer is a new language concept called a triple-yes.

      Yes.

      In fact, it works as a triple score bonus, as are all of the following: Quintessons, Shattered Glass, the Silmarillion, Babylon 5, putting DS9/Voyager above TNG, non-televised sport, Gojira, and “I’m not a fan of Anime/Manga I only like [Insert, odds on Gainax, title or studio here]”.

      Either. Heck “follows written instructions” qualifies. I’ll give ya a bonus point for “requesting clarification of ambiguities”, nerd.

      Walter and Jesse have unsimulated anal sex with each other.

      It was the most graphic 235 minutes of the entire series.

        Now here’s the twist, and there is a twist: We show it. We show all of it. Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action TV shows these days guys? …Full penetration. Guys, we’re gonna show full penetration and we’re gonna show a lot of it! I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Walt really going to town on this hot young Jessie Pinkman. From behind, 69, anal, cowboy, reverse cowboy, all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones.

    Do the options “Written Sci-fi” and “Written Fantasy” also apply for writers, not consumers?

    Because I once wrote both a sci-fi and fantasy story, so I’d check those.

    Um ahkshually this is a comic community and many of these franchises did not start as comic franchises and therefore don’t belong on a list in this community. You’re not a real comic book nerd unless your checklist begins and ends with Watchmen.
