I suspect that my knowledge of the Age of Sail is a sign of a mis-spent youth. It certainly doesn't prevent my motto from being 'huzzah for the inventor of the lifejacket' every time I actually sail myself. If you can call it that when you spend almost as much time in the water as on it. :D
Do give Numb3rs a go if you get the opportunity (I think both ITV3 and Five US are showing it at the minute). It avoids being just another American cop show by putting the two main characters in the same family, not to mention the whole solving crimes with mathematics thing, which means it features unapologetic geekery. The fandom does to tend to suffer from Supernatural-itis, though not as much as in the beginning. (in what universe is the reaction to the concept of sleeping with your brother not a resounding 'Uuuuugh!', and why do so many people appear to inhabit it?)
