There are so many things wrong with that we hardly know where to begin. I’m sure there are people out there who enjoyed Revenge of the Fallen and there are clearly people out there who like Megan Fox but “Queen of the Geeks”? I think most self-identified geeks would agree she is a poor choice.

On the top right sidebar is a little poll where you can vote for your choice for Queen of the Geeks. If your choice is not on the list, please feel free to leave a comment on this post with your nomination.

Our list of candidates is as follows:

Felicia Day
Best known for: Creating The Guild
Created The Guild out of her love for MMORPGs, has tapped into the well of Whedon geek cred with appearances in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse and is also wicked smart having graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a double major in mathematics and violin performance and a 4.0 GPA.

Sigourney Weaver
Best known for: Roles in the Alien movies
Kicked more butt than a whole squad of Marines in Aliens and has a sense of humor as well as evidenced by Ghostbusters and Galaxy Quest.

Carrie Fisher
Best known for: If you’re visiting this site you really should already know who she is.
If she’s not the Queen of the Geeks she is at least the Princess.

Kari Byron
Best known for: Mythbusters
Does experiments with explosives, guns and electricity. Plus she can weld stuff. How cool is that?

Maria Chudnovsky
Best known for: Being one of Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10″ and “25 young scientists / researchers likely to change the world”
Associate professor in the Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department at Columbia university, Ph.D in mathematics and researcher in the areas of graph theory and combinatorial optimization. “Wicked smart” does not even come close.

James Tiptree Jr.
Best known for: writing Up the Walls of the World
AKA Alice Bradley Sheldon. Veteran of the United States Army Air Force’s photo intelligence group, Ph.D in Experimental Psychology from George Washington University and she wrote hard science fiction for ten years before anyone realized she was a woman.

Summer Glau
Best known for:Roles in Firefly, Serenity and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
She may ACTUALLY be able to kill you with her brain. Why risk it?

Katee Sackhoff
Best known for: playing Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica
Took the pretty boy role from the original BSG and totally made it her own. Who among us that have watched both the original series and the new still thinks of Starbuck as a guy?

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry
Best known for: Playing Nurse Christine Chapel and the voice of the computer in Star Trek: TOS
If she is not the Queen of all geeks, she is at least the Queen of Trek. In various roles, Barrett participated in every incarnation of the Trek franchise produced during her lifetime, including live-action and animated versions, television and cinema, and all of the time periods in which the various series have been set.

Gail Simone
Best known for: Writing Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman for DC Comics
How much more geek cred do you need than being a professional comics writer?
