Deja Vu, I had a similar discussion about the laws of thermodynamics a few years ago when I was trying out an HHO Generator on my car. The argument was that you can't create energy from nothing, but in that argument they failed to understand that energy wasn't being created, but rather being used more efficiently by using excess energy leaked from the alternator to generate a gas supplement. Anyhow, that's off topic.

Ah! Exactly! This is what I was trying to clarify earlier, I was still operating under the assumption Sci Fi was pretty much anything that involves outerspace, aliens, or advance tech.
See that is where I am having trouble drawing the line between the two, because for example, almost everything on SyFy channel is actually fantasy. Is that why they changed their name?
Ok, I think I get I get it now, Sicence Fiction is basically like other fiction like Harlequin Romance, where it is realistic, but the characters and story fictional vs. fantasy where anything goes.
However I think there is a really really fine line there, or blurry line, or whatever.
Do you believe the saying "nothing is impossible"?
Now we have gone from Science Fiction to Philosophy, YAY!

I am working with the notion that SF is defined by inhernetly making logical sense based on its premises, and by being set in universes meant to be understood.

Really? Does that include shows via like Hulu too? Did you watch DF TV show? I guess it's not that surprising. I went about eight years without really watching "TV", tho i still watched movies.

I'm in Canada, which Hulu does not service.
I occasionally catch things on DVD, but as timing goes I have just about caught up with I, Claudius.
