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.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

SpecFic makes me think of bad spec scripts.

Having experienced both, I think vinegar up the nose is better than reading bad spec fiction.
