'The Message'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
"There's something very liberating about the genre. You can do big, giant metaphors and really hit them hard," says Tim Minear, co-creator of Fox's psychological crime drama "The Inside."It's true. And you know, it was much easier, even enjoyable in a sick way, to see say...Faith torture Wesley, where I don't think I could watch a scene like that outside of a high concept show.
How many 'West Wing' conventions are there?"
BWAH!! and that is why i love Tim.
Wow, Allyson, that The Inside reference is really kind of shoehorned in there. But the surrounding article is great, and TI is great, so I don't care.
Meh, I didn't write it.
Yeah, sorry, that came off a little weird. Not your fault, just addressing you for no good reason since you posted it. I don't understand why people get so down on genre TV. It's practically all I watch.

I wish those people would own up to the fact that "cop/doctor/lawyer 1 hour drama" is as much of a genre as "supernatural/sci-fi serial drama."

I have recently taken to using the term "speculative fiction" for scifi/fantasy/horror stuff... Though it sounds a bit pretentious.
SpecFic?
SpecFic makes me think of bad spec scripts.
oh god. i've read some of those. there is no purer pain.
