Matt Roush gives SCC an excellent review.
(It would have been a great show to watch with 24. . . )
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

I found myself wondering how many dogs he's had in his life - 50 plus?
I would guess thirty nine, since that seems to be the dog's name.

Jericho has an SF premise, but I don't consider it to be an SF show because the episodic plots are straight drama. And yeah, unless they've established that the rest of the world went away, some US cities getting nuked doesn't equal post-apocalyptic to me.
But I still don't get how Due South counts, so.

Due South was grandfathered, yes? Also, ghost dad.

I raised that at some point, apparently he talks to someone who's a ghost or something. Believe me, we had an extensive, full-on Buffista discussion :)
I think the thread originally started for the hoYay and the porn, and it was kind of a coincidence that the SciFi stuff (i.e. Smallville, Highlander) were slashtastic.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The original Due South thread morphed into the de facto Stargate thread, so it came along for the ride with the Smallville and Farscape threads when the three were folded together into Boxed Set. Plus, as noted, ghost dad.

I know the line between fiction fiction and science fiction is a wavering, lightly penciled line, but to me, post-apocalyptic fiction shows life after a world-changing disaster. Nuking millions of Americans and having the country break up into fiefdoms is world changing to me. Books like Alas, Babylon, The Postman and No Blade of Grass are largely straight drama, past the apocalyptic event, but I think of them as SF. As I draw the line, the SF premise per se makes it SF.

Well, The Road - surely that's Science Fiction? But it's not.

See, I say The Road is SF, but most mainstream authors avoid the category if at all possible, because of its second-class status.

Hey, this interview with Lennie James that Keckler did, I didn't link that before, did I?
