Spock also smiled a lot in the pilot. The logic came later
This was pretty good to see this morning. Not a Heros fan but love to catch sci-fi references. (my personal favorite sci-fi ref was the ship from "Firefly" briefly appearing in the pilot of the new Battlestar Galactica)
BTW: John Milner's licence plate THX 138 appears in some form in all of Lucas's movies. ("prisoner tranfer from cell block 1138" is the version in Star Wars). It is a reference to his first movie THX 1138 with the title character played by Robert Duvall. The reissue with the updated effects they put out a year or so ago wasn't that bad.
And as to geeking out- Life is just much easier when you embrace what you like. If I cared to much what people thought was cool, I would have bought a Harley.
