I've noticed episodes too that dip into genres like romance, comedy, tragedy and so on.
So in a series that is predominantly sci-fi, what episodes can be said to be true sci-fi? I'll try to look at this myself next week a bit but it's a very interesting question!
I'd be interested to hear what people have to say... |
Don't forget Western too, Sarah. There's plenty of episodes that definetly belong to the Western genre!
I'm not sure there are any episodes which are strictly sci-fi, or strictly horror. Stuff like (my fav)
Mr. Dingle, The Strong is one of the most sci-fiy of the lot (two headed aliens, superhero strength), and yet it's played for laughs, so could be called a comedy too. And does the twist make it a thriller?
My head hurts.
