Are there any TV shows without genre, Michele? The quotes are there for a reason.
The thread's supposed to be sci-fi/fantasy.
Ergo the nannying.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Vonnie: Oh, I'm sure. I don't really read SGA, though, so I can't tell you from experience.

The thread was started explictly in part to discuss Due South, which, last time I checked, was neither a science-fiction nor a fantasy show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Except for the ghost. And the magic snow.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Due South has ghost-dads, though, right? I mean, I never raelly watched the show, but I gather there was magical realism and shit in amidst the slash.

Michele, this discussion's been had in B'cracy. If you want, I can track you down a link. It was just before thread 2 was created, and its mission statement reviewed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It had about the same amount of magic realism as Northern Exposure I'd say.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Northern Exposure had magical realism? When?
I just thought it was incredibly wacky, in a New-Age way. Was there stuff that, like, violated the laws of physics? (I actually watched that show, for a while, so am not speaking ex-cloaca on this front.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah. There was big thread repurpose discussion back then; I recall we were talking about MI-5 here at that time, and once we've concensed that this would be a sf/f TV thread, the MI-5 talk moved to Natter.
We could debate about magic realism in DS, but it was the show for which the original incarnation of the thread was named, so of course it was going to stay.
Actually, there are going to be a truckload of vaguely sf/f new shows this season--Supernatural and Invasion (if it doesn't get yanked due to Katrina) and erm, Threshold, I think. And that Frank Spotzy show with whassaname Townsend. I have no idea if the discussion of those shows, if any, is going to happen here or in Natter.
