One of these days we will have built up a large enough body of SF scholarship that we can quit with the whole "no it's respectable really I swear" thing. It especially gets up my nose when it's specifically science fiction scholarship, and it steps on fantasy to get where it's trying to go. (Since I'm rather partial to fantasy myeslf.) I wrote a whole bit in one of my grad papers about how Darko Suvin's like the guy in high school trying to get in with the in crowd by pretending he no longer knows the people who were his best friends just last year. He really just comes across as desperate for somebody else's validation.
