In all the good shows they put in a squad of sidekick geeks who turn up at times to make things more interesting.
The X-files has the Lone Gunmen. A trio of conspiracy theorists. They are Richard "Ringo" Langly, Melvin Frohike and John Fitzgerald Byers.
They help Mulder and Scully figuring out different conspiracies. They were so much fun that they even got their own Spin off series called The Lone Gunmen. The show actually predicted the 9/11 attacks. The pilot episode of the show was about a government conspiracy planing to crash a plane in the World Trade center. Creepy...On Buffy we got the Trio who stirs up trouble in season six for our heroine. Warren Mears, Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levinson makes up the trio. Some of them we know from before, like Jonathan who's basically been in the show from the get go. He went to school with Buffy and has been seen at several occasions.
Warren was in a episode in s5 before the Trio. Andrew is the only newbie. The members of the Trio are all very different personalities even though they all are geeks. After awhile things don't go as planed. Jonathan is bullied as always, Andrew gets conflicted and Warren ends up being a complete psycho. Their actions lead to some cataclysmic events.Of course SPN has joined the club with their own gang of wacky geeks. First they were called Hellhounds, Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler.
We first meet up with them in season 1's Hell House where they manage to make a ghost come alive through their web page.In season 3 they are back as Ghostfacers and they've actually managed to recruit to their gang. Ghostfacers is also the name of their reality show that they hope would take them to Hollywood. But somehow they end up with nothing each time they run into Sam and Dean. Poor guys.
Found some interesting pics when I image googled Ghostfacers...
Can't have a party without the boys! ;)
Should have been like 7 days left.

I think it is so cool that I know all three shows you talked about with the geeks that are the sidekicks to the show. I did remember that The Lone Gunmen did get their own show but the ratings were horrible and got cancelled very quick. I never saw any of them.
I remember when Willow turned evil when Tara was shot by Warren and she went after him and took his skin off. Now that was brutal.
And of course the Ghostfacers were so cool as the geeks to go after ghosts, too bad Corbett was killed but in the end gay love saved them. hehe
Great job and cool videos and pics. \o/
I only saw the pilot of Lone Gunmen. Was supposed to watch the whole show but never got around to it. It wasn't the best thing ever.
I also remember Willow turning evil. But I've seen that show like 100 times. ;) The skinning was really brutal. Love that. :D
Oooh... poor Corbett. I didn't want him to die. He was cute and I wanted him to have a happy ending with his gay love.
Thanks for your comments Hike! :)
Cool...love all those shows & all the nerd herds!!!!
Now I wanna do another Buffy re-watch...when I only just did one :P
