Back in 2003 the BSG miniseries attracted 3.95 and 4.5 million viewers. Yesterday The Expanse only got 1.19. What happened to those viewers? Did they move on to HBO and AMC? Do they now DVR or Torrent episodes? Do you those people will ever watch a program on the "Syfy" channel again? Should a show like The Expanse be on a pay TV network like HBO or Netflix instead of a basic cable network? Are sci fi fans too picky? Meaning they won't watch something if it isn't Firefly, Farscape, BSG, or Star Trek? I have been told that youth today have way less imagination and are no longer catching on to things like hard core "sci-fi."
Do you think the space opera genre is permanently dead on TV? Will a network like HBO, Netflix, or AMC ever produce a high quality space opera that will make the genre mainstream and respected like Game of Thrones did for fantasy?
There is still the new Star Trek show, FX's Redshirts, and Spike's Mars trilogy. I hope those are successful.
Which one of these would make an awesome show?
