Well, considering that the term "Sci-Fi" means media (TV, movies, etc.)
and comic-book and suchlike versions of real "SF" (which means books and
magazine stories), I would say that Dr. Who would have to come DOWN to
reach "the level of standard Sci-Fi". It is *better* than most Sci-Fi, even
considering the defects, inconsistencies, or errors I and others have
flamed about. (We complain because we like it, and want it to be the
best it can be -- in most cases, we aren't demanding expensive changes
or massive alterations, but simply better knowledge and more involvement
on the part of the writers/directors/producers/staff.)
