Although I watch and like The Big Bang, as far as I know the comic book and sci-fi thing is overdone. I spent many years at University (under- and post-graduate) and have always worked in a field with a scientific background. Of all the people I've known none had a comic book or sci-fi hangup. Comic books and sci-fi are not about reality, science is. Don't most scientists look down on such baloney? On a program about The Big Bang some real scientist they interviewed said the comic book thing was overdone. As for Abby Sciuto, a junkie, yes, a pole dancer, yes, someone on psychotropic medication, yes, but a "brilliant scientist", very definitely no. What nonsense.
