So? That doesn't change a thing you big commie (sorry, couldn't help myself ). Anyways, "space opera" is no longer a pejorative term.

I kindly disagree =) Sci-fi on other hand is indeed no longer a pejorative term (see my post above).

Why can't you see obvious similarities (plot construction, heroes archetypes, hero's motivation and rhetoric) between seemingly different genres of fantasy and space opera, which differ only in setting?

I do see it. But it's the setting that makes the difference. Isn't the setting what makes the difference between a period drama and a contemporary drama?

BTW, aren't all movies part of a genre? Or are some genres typically considered "lesser" than others.
