You can't change my mind because you are wrong if you don't agree.
It's better than all the campy, cheesy, sjw infected star treks. It's better than Stargate which got really stupid. It's better than firefly, even though firefly was a decent show. I admit I haven't seen battle star Galactica. But it's probably better than that. It's also better than the star wars movies taken as a whole. The original 3 are good films but the rest dilutes the quality. If you haven't seen it, go on Amazon prime. It is really well done. |

I'm watching it currently. Jury is out on if it beats Altered Carbon, but I think that yes, I'd agree it's so far the best space sci-fi I've seen.

Battlestar Galactica is better. Sorry. It just is.
We are rewatching it right now and it's phenomenal. Acting, storyline, grittyness, way above any other sci-fi movie or series. |
|
Its my favorite next to Battlestar. Looking forward to the new season.

Watched season 1. Have no idea what's going on. But then again, I'm normally tanked watching it.
Gonna re-watch it not tanked this winter when things slow down. |

Quoted: Yeah, that's why I separated The Expanse as a "space sci-fi" and not just generalized sci-fi. I think technically in literature it'd be a Space Opera. View Quote It's a saga that seems grounded in reality. Especially since it is set in the near future and in our solar system. |

Physics is what puts The Expanse above all the other space sci-fi for me.
BSG is also awesome. |

I agree and I think that dark matter is also an awesome show. Fuck syfy.

DOOMCOCK HAILS THE EXPANSE AS THE BEST SCI-FI ON TV! |
|

Better than Babylon 5? I’ll be the judge of that.
B5: Still the best. |

Op is ignorant. The Expanse is a decent TV Sci Fi show. But, not the best. The best TV Sci Fi show is easily: https://www.popexpresso.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mainOUTER-800x445.jpg https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/theouterlimits/images/5/52/OBIT_Lomax.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161009071639 https://media.giphy.com/media/tgSAT6KzVgpXy/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/FazfmXWsOQiYM/giphy.gif http://www.anorakzone.com/outerlimits/purpletwilight.jpg View Quote |

I wanted to like and watched it enough to not be able to stomach the overly SJW trend in the female leads.
Good show but meh. |

Is it better than Firefly?
I don't know. It's different from Firefly. They're both space sci fi, but it feels off to compare the two. Stargate as well, for that matter. Those shows are science FICTION, but the expanse feels more like science FUTURE... like that is really what space travel will be like. Eh, just my opinion. Full disclosure... the Expanse in only the second tv show that I wear t shirts that reference.... the first was firefly. Jury is out on whether my Pur Kleen shirt is cooler than my Blue Sun shirt. |

I'll stand with you in this fight. View Quote You really should watch Battlestar Gallatica though. The first couple seasons are really, really good. The last couple and ending are so-so. It's available on Amazon Prime, same as the Expanse...... |

The books are better. I only made it through the first season the show, the second season lost me.

View Quote There was no strong woman putting a man in their place, mary sue, bullshit like Star Trek or Star Wars. There was a bitchy old UN politician who was honest when the rest of the UN was a corrupt oligarchy, but she was useless in a fight. There was the badass Martian space marine, but she was a super soldier and there were other badass men, like Amos. The captain and pilot of the Rocinante were dudes. Miller, the grizzled detective was a dude. Hell one of the heroes, Fred Johnson is a businessman. There were lots of awesome roles, no forced SJW bullshit. |

I've greatly enjoyed it. Even watched it a second time. Now I'm waiting on season 4 to drop.
|
|
It's on par with Battlestar, Altered Carbon and Westworld. Not the best but quite good.

There are three reasons Firefly was better.
Morna Baccarin Summer Glau Jewel Straite If you disagree you might be gay. |
