I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

Would you classify Marvel as fantasy then?

Which franchises? X-Men? Yes. Captain America? Sometimes. Depends on the story. Sometimes it's both.

See why they combine genres now?

Ok, does Alien go in SciFi or Horror?

What about JAG in space? Crime, military drama or sci fi?

Galaxy Quest, sci fi or comedy?

Stories cross genres all the time, yet only sci fi and fantasy get lumped together.
