I'm an SF fan myself (I think a lot of skeptics are, actually), so if the show (which I didn't see) was sneering at him for that it was sneering at me too.
Which would be art being very unlike life, because I've really had no trouble with people being rude to me because I like SF/F. I've had people tell me *they* don't care for it, of course, but that didn't seem like rudeness to me.
But art is sometimes very different from life, and goodness knows movies and tv shows can be as stylized and not-like-life in their expectations as any kabuki play. So I guess I can picture this.
