Hm, I don't know, Rodney seems to be a bit disdainful of unrealistic shows with beautiful people in them. :)

Yeah, there is that. LOL!

I don't believe that Rodney would necessarily into Buffy. I just don't find it such a huge "take me out of the moment" mental stretch, that's all.

Less so than an astrophysicist suddenly turning into a vulcanologist, let's say. ;-P

As a point of interest, David Hewlett once said that, although he utterly adores Firefly, he hasn't actually watched much Buffy.

But you are right, a lot of fics reference Old School Doctor Who which is one of Hewlett's passions and although I do know the show was available in at least some parts of Canada back then, I also know a few Canadian sci-fi geeks who are slightly older than Hewlett who don't know much about the show. Hewlett actually claims his English birthright when he talks about what a Who geekboy he is.
