    Ah yes, Smallville. I, personally, do not consider Smallville to be sci-fi. I set it aside as a separate genre and aptly a part of the superhero genre. While there were sci-fi elements to the show, it was not strictly science fiction, as there were also plenty of fantasy elements (i.e., magic, witches, etc.) as well as a number of other genres. Given the tendency of superhero stories to include a hodgepodge of genres, to say that a superhero story such as the Smallville television series is science fiction is reaching a bit too far. It would also have to be considered the longest running fantasy series, and supernatural series, and so on. It's how I, personally, interpret that show: as being a part of the superhero genre, not the sci-fi genre. So, as far as I'm concerned, Stargate is still the #1 longest running science fiction series. Of course, I respect any differing opinions that anybody else might have, such as if you believe otherwise. That's fine. In which case, it's simply two people disagreeing on what makes it what it is and, at that point, there is nothing else to say on the matter.

          It first came up when I put forward my belief that Doctor Who (and Star Wars) are Space Fantasy. That was based on my view of Sci-Fi as being about 'what if' scenarios; but Doctor Who and Star Wars being hard to pin down with 'what ifs' means they are something else, namely Space Fantasy.

          Then it got complicated when people tried to 'reclaim Stargate's rightful title', and then Smallville came up...


          Oddly I think Doctor Who could be argued as a Super Hero serial of sorts.




          Also just to clarify one thing, I view the powers displayed by the priors to be directly connected to the pseudo-science of Ancient Astronaut Theorists and therefore still quite solidly within the 'sci-fi range' of Stargate... Doesn't hurt that I find Ancient Astronaut Documentaries hilliarous though and so know a fair bit more than I should about that stuff...
