You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There was one open tag that I just closed. It looked OK to me too, but it was probably browser dependent.

What is even happening?

Cupid discussion: does it belong in Boxed Set (magical realism) or Comedy? It's an hour-long, but it's a romantic comedy (also a er...dramedy, a word which I hate).

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

I vote Boxed Set, in a Life on Mars (ptui!) sort of a way.

Not having seen the new Cupid: is he using magic powers to get people to hook up? I'm not seeing what is SF about it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it's the "people finding true love" part.

I think you've nailed the current problem (for me) with Boxed Set--almost anything we watch seems able to fall under the fantasy part of SciFi/Fantasy and a lot is getting dumped there. Of course, YBSMV.
