It does occur to me now most of the nerdy girls I know are mainly Doctor Who fans. That doesn't mean they aren't "real nerds" or anything similar, but perhaps there is some correlation and causation.

If you take away all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, it's just another boy meets girl show over and over again, with a bit of action and suspense thrown in. Honestly, I think the Doctor Who trend among nerdy girls stems from a sort of "I want to be rescued from my mundane life" mentality that plenty of girls - nerdy or not - idealize. Doctor Who just happens to be that guy for girls who like science fiction right now.
