So just how do *you* define SF?  Stories with spaceships in?

There's the problem right there.  I can just as well say that *you* don't
get it and don't get how you don't get it.

Rather presumptuous of you.  My reasons for not caring much for Buffy have
nothing to do with SF.  Buffy isn't SF and doesn't claim to be.

It's a modern fantasy soap opera.  I don't get into soap operas.
