because I can think of very few shows in the sci-fi genre in which some of the characters are such total, unrepentant *geeks* ... without being dorks too, if you know what I mean. Heck, Sheppard, the big gun-toting hero, is an obvious comic-book geek! I love it. The show is so obviously written by SF fans, for SF fans.
John Sheppard = closet comic book geek and math nerd
Dean Winchester = TOTAL AND UTTER MOVIE GEEK BOY!!! (Have you seen the Hollywood Babylon ep?)
And both are utterly adorable. It just has to be said!
But yeah, I think Stargate is obviously written by SciFi fans - and Supernatural was created by a bunch of horror-fantasy geeks (with some sci-fi geekdom thrown in "Who as a kid didn't wanna be Han Solo?"). The number of genre in jokes in both shows is very telling IMHO.
