The Expanse on SyFy: Discussion - Spoilers.

[Wyrminarrd]

looks good, though I have to say that the characters don't really look anything like what I imagined them looking like

[Annoyed]

Trailers and other promotional materials can be misleading, as we all learned from "Ascension". I'm waiting till after I see what this really is to say anything.

Unfortunately true

I don't mind changes in the characters or even the plot but only if the changes are good, not like what they did with Riverworld. The trailer is really good and intersesting, the series looks like the best thing syfy did in the last.... years. but of course is just a trailer and can be misleading.

And the first trailer!

The CGI looks awesome, the ships and the space stations and even the planets, sadly the acting looks amateurish, like the stuff you get in fan films.

If syfy has still viewers in october! so they will serve us Defiance made soap opera and the horrible Dominion in summer and we must wait till october for Expanse. Yeah, sure.

I don't mind waiting if it gives them enough time to make it better than I fear it might be. Besides, I want to re-read the first book and then read at least the second one before then.

I don't thing they will made it better than they allready have done. In a previous post i posted a link which indicates that production ended.
And i'm tired of waiting. I waited almost 2 years for Blood and chrome and it didn't become a series. Then i waited for Defiance only to be dissapointed. And then i waited for Ascension and let's not even talk about that one. Not to mention Killjoys which started production 2 months earlier than the expanse and we know nothing about it's premiere date. In sy fy there is allways something coming but it never arrives.

[ecgordon]

I doubt the complete production has ended, only what is called 'principal photography.' Post-production adds all the special effects, music, etc., plus sometimes there is a need for re-shoots.

[pakar]

The problem is not the production of The Expanse per se. The problem is that syfy continuously promises and it doesn't deliver.When you order a pizza it is important that it will be delivered in time.Syfy found time and money for z nation, ascension, olympous etc but for serious sci fi it just promises.

I´m still looking forward to this.

As much as I like Tom Jane as an actor, he really does not fit my idea of what Detective Miller should look like. Hopefully his acting will manage to make up for it

Well that'a a surprise, Expanse is renewed for a second season before it's premiere!

Well, those tweets just mean someone wants to see more scripts, but that is encouraging news. Let's see if Syfy says something about it on Monday.

[rkgardner2003]

Just heard about this one. Looks interesting, I'm not familiar with the books. Lots of familiar faces. I'm happy to see Chad Coleman...

New trailer.

December looks like the date and Season 2 is green lit already. Must admit the new trailer is looking good in terms of production value and scale.

Now into the 3rd book on my read through and the source material is definitely good enough to sustain this series.

December, So it will be a hiatus around christmas and new year. 10 episodes and with a hiatus!! Great!
