Yeah I was working on this. Even had a cute title, “the Boys of Sommer”. So now I must rethink and rewrite.
Okay, I’m better now. Here we go.
Rich Sommer (aka Harry Crane) has, as my sister has mentioned, a really cute blog. He posted today on several topics, among them, his excitement to be shooting Season Two, and the nerdfest that is he, Aaron Staton (Ken Cosgrove) and Bryan Batt (Salvatore).
From ze post:
Also, at work the other day, Bryan schooled Aaron and me at No Thanks!. I exacted my revenge via a rousing game of Loco!. I will make game nerds of them all. And maybe we will play games whose names don’t end in exclamation points.
And uh, btw, you guys know he reads BoK, right? The occasional comment can be found. (So Rich, would it kill you to add us to your blogroll?)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Done.
And Michael would have been in on the nerdfest, 'cept he was napping.
Just didn't want him left off the nerd list.
God, he's a nerd.
Nerd? He's a chess nerd. That's like, vistas beyond mere nerd.
Right, chess is different from a Kirk vs. Picard debate. Oh, okay, or Spike vs. Angel.
Rich Sommer: I spent some time at your blog today, and it's very nicely done, and I'm not just saying this, because you're a fellow Minnesotan — heck, it's not like you're an Iron Ranger! Anyhow, quite nicely written.
Please. Does anyone even have Kirk vs. Picard debates anymore? I thought that was settled years ago… gone the way of Angel vs. Riley debates.
Right, that's what makes it extra geeky — it's passé.
What would be the debate in the early sixties — other than Kennedy/Nixon. I almost typed Lincoln, but I meant the 1960s, so that would have been wrong.
From Stand by Me, set in 1959:
The real nerd debate in 1960 was Asimov vs. Heinlein.
chess is the game of kings, thankyouverymuch. but I do want to say that I gladly partake in the particular nerdery of which Rich Sommer is the master, and enjoy it quite a lot.
Picard could out-fight, out-seduce, and out captain Kirk in his sleep.
and, for the record, I've read almost every Heinlein novel published. Asimov is good, too- but HEINLEIN- c'mon!
thank you BoK. I didn't fully realize what an absolute nerd I was until just now.
You're very welcome, Michael, we're here to help.
Ohh… Picard…
This is just wrong.
I don't care that everyone has moved on to Picard, for sheer uncontrolled rabid ballsiness, Kirk is The One. Kirk is unalloyed America as Empire; Picard is Empire as outsourcing mechanism.
Picard would bore a computer to death, not kill it with cunning. And all he rates for women is a neurotic widow or a con woman archeologist? Feh.
And, of course, mad love to the mad men, but I must say it plain.
I would sleep with Patrick Stewart in a heartbeat. He has been with the classical musician, the empath (Xenia Onatopp!), the immortal in that movie, and the woman he married and had children with in the Inner Light. And me in my dreams.
