fajrdrakoYesterday Pim and I listened to an interview with some of the stars of "Lost Girl". The announcer called the show "science fiction".
"That's wrong," I said. "It's fantasy all the way."
"They wouldn't say that on TV," said Pim. "They just wouldn't."
Is that true? Is fantasy really so badly regarded? So much on TV, since TV began, has been fantasy; from things like 'I dream of Jeannie" to "Game of Thrones" and "Supernatural".
Since "Lost Girl" is a story about supernatural beings, and the protagonist is a beautiful bisexual succubus - why not call it fantasy?
