Geeks seem have the intelligence to see past the (rather ubstantial sometimes) flaws and keep watching
This is typical of genre art/genre fans--they'll put up with serious flaws if whatever attracts them to the genre is present, but the general public isn't interested unless it's reasonably well done overall. For example, I'm not a fan of the 'western' but I liked High Noon. On the other hand, if it's SF in visual media, I'm enthusiastic if it doesn't make me wince very much.
And I'm really not sure if the problem is that there is so little that meets this standard, or if it's just that however much there is I want so much more....
