Rivka, I *so* agree with you! I've never watched SG-1 not only because I don't like science fiction but because *their* Daniel cannot be fit to bring James Spader his hieroglyphics pronouncing dictionary.
Of course academics are just like fen--it's the insanity with which meaningless minor points are debated. There's an anthology "Shakespeare: Left and Right" (Ivo Kamps, ed.) which sounds just like your basic mailing list flame war...only longer. And academia, too, has its Tin Hat Brigades.
