Seems like this has kind of turned into a thread on all the new SyFy products. Thought I'd just dump this here.

Has a "Battlestar Galactica" vibe.

I love the fact that the authors are having so much input. Really psyched for this one.
Unfortunately I'm on this recent kick to read source materials before seeing movies and am currently trying to finish up 4 more Star Wars books before Force Awakens. I've already read the original for Expanse, but had no idea that they'd expanded it with EIGHT more books and more to come in 16/17. Trying to catch up on some good comics and TV shows too. I'm in media overload! EDIT: OK looks like mostly short stories. Only 2 new books published in the series to hit 5 currently, with a planned total of 9. Still a lot of reading to do this month. https://www.goodreads.com/series/56399-expanse

Yeah, only 5 main series novels. I haven't read any of the shorter stuff.

Not sure how I feel about the pilot. The sound was so badly mixed that I could barely make out the dialogue over the soundtrack a lot of the time, and the episode itself felt 'off' even beyond that. Like the pacing was a bit off. But it wasn't bad, per se. Maybe a little too much world building. Which would only be a problem in the first episode. So we'll see how it goes the rest of the season. I really hope they get it right, and it finds an audience.

Watched on syfy.com. Worst commercial stream I've seen in years. I'd recommend torrenting over that POS garbage.
Besides that, I enjoyed it. Definitely agree that there were pacing issues. Probably could have done better doing a 2 hour pilot. Lot of potential though.
