"The Skywalker Incursion" for Best Related Category/Best Dramatic Presentation--Short Form

Hey folks.

I have always enjoyed The Big Bang Theory. The writing has always been good and amusing, the characters have depth and development and the acting has great comedic timing. It has also made being a science fiction or comic book fans fashionable.

It's SF.

Someone with an IQ of 187 doesn't really talk like that.

At least, the one you folks know doesn't.

How high IQs talk

Sheldon Cooper isn't just smart, he obviously has Asperger's Syndrome. He may not be crazy, but he is a high-functioning autistic.

Although that is never mentioned on show, I find that believable. I know someone who I believe is an undiagnosed aspie and she's in her late 50s.

The Moon landing wasn't SF either, and coverage of it won a Hugo Award. Chris Garcia's on-stage meltdown wasn't SF/F, but it was shortlisted. I'm pretty sure that fans have a very broad definition of what SF/F is, and implicitly include "and related subjects" even if the definition doesn't explicitly include it. Administrators have never disqualified a DP work with sufficient nominations to make the ballot on the grounds that it wasn't SF/F. The last time the Administrators disqualified any work for not being sufficiently SF/F, WSFS responded by changing the definition, saying, in effect, that they don't want Administrators to make subjective decisions.

I agree with Kevin on this one. As noted, the rules explicitly include "related subjects", and this is, no question, a Dramatic Presentation.

Okay, I'm flipping back to DP-SF

When I think about it, all of the characters except Penny are scientists. Okay, I'm putting this under DP-SF.
