Link on Netflix saying no? |
Finally watched last week's episode.
It is absolutely criminal that syfy is cancelling this show. I'll never watch another minute of their programming. 4321 |
I just settled in looking forward to watching the past two weeks and now see it’s cancelled. WTF.
|
Damnit, I can't believe they're cancelling this.
|
That was an amazing episode. Maybe the best so far.
So evidently the cancellation was because Syfy only has rights to initial broadcast. So they only make money on the advertising during first run of episodes. Amazon has the streaming rights. Syfy wasn't making enough. So - and this is just me, I've heard nothing yet - but I bet this becomes a Prime Original. It brings with it a degree of critical acclaim that no other science fiction show - on ANY platform - can match at this point in time. And it's an already in production program that's firing on all cylinders. They'd know exactly what they have. Hook this up with Man in the High Castle and their upcoming Tolkien project and they basically own genre at this point. Netflix has Stranger things and maybe Altered Carbon (which hasn't been renewed and only has two more novels even if it is) or Lost in Space (season 1 nothing special). Fingers crossed... |

I hope you're right. From what little I know about the business this looks like a turn key show/opportunity. |
Spoiler!

Great episode. Also looking forward to one of my favorite actors, David Strathairn, joining the cast next week.

I've been streaming the show in a minimized and muted tab while at work. Just doing my part to show a rating bump. With that said, **** SyFy. Go to their web page and see how well they advertise for any of their damn shows. To find the shows there is a small clickable icon in the top right, and the main page is cluttered with articles about Deadpool 2 or NASA finding an oxygen cloud at the edge of the observable universe... wtf.
|
I keep checking this thread hoping something has happened to continue this show. It’s consistently gotten better as the tv series has progressed.
|
Man, that was an incredible 3 seasons. Crying damn shame that they can't extend that. Almost a worse let down that Firefly ending.
|
I read somewhere yesterday that Amazon is in talks with Alcon, or is seriously considering it. I will try to find.

Excellent episode tonight. Might be a bit jarring for those who haven't read the books, but I think they handled the transition from the first part of the story to the next part of the story pretty well.
|
It was a little jarring even for someone who has read the books...
Although my only real complaint was putting Thomas Jane's name in the opening credits. It must've been contractual, but still. Bit of a giant in-episode spoiler for people who didn't already know he'd come back. Gonna be a wild few weeks now. |

Strathairn is ****ing primo casting. Great episode though the Belter rocket jock storyline was kinda obvious.
|
This is pretty cool.

Woke up around midnight, saw this, thought I must've been hallucinating.
Hey, we won't have all the bad words scrubbed on Prime, either. This, sneaky pete, man in the high castle, bosch. They're building a good little line up of originals. Sidebar: So is this going to make Trump flip on the space force? Becuase, you know, we're big in space. But he ****ing hates Bezos and this was announced at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles. Oh, wait, 'International'. Never mind. ROFL |

Hell Yes!!!!
My favorite show by far. This, by itself, is worth the cost of my Prime membership. |
That is great news.
|
God I love this show. They're doing great work with the trippy weird shit.
|
This dawned on me:

Just something to keep in mind. BTW I'm about dead even in the books with where the show is currently in regards to the ring (about 1/3 into book 3). |

They've blown me away with the job they've done bringing page to screen, in terms of gfx.
Been a while since I read the book, so I'm not sure how faithful to the plot they are (some things feel a little off) but the visuals are just amazing. |
Spoiler!
|
Goddamn, the finale was great. Sure am glad this show got saved.
|
Just watched. Same exact reaction. Thanks Amazon!
|
Great ****ing finale.
I can't get over how comical it is that every Martian save for Bobbie is a dumbass. |
Quote:
But I really have no issue with that, because Bobbie is awesome. :rockon: |
Ok, for whatever reason I never got into this show. I go to watch it on demand with Spectrum, and they only have season 3 available. Don't know if I'm more annoyed at that or over me letting an apparently great show slip by me. :shake:

Kicked Ass! That finale was great. This has been one of my top three shows for the last couple years. I really really hope next season isn't delayed.

Plus, if you watch it on Prime, you won't have to hear the edited language. The UN lady in particular cusses like my old boss in the Navy. :D |

Think it's finally time to order Persepolis Rising and re-read the series. |

Got the wife hooked on this. Rewatching the entire series with her now. :thumb:
|
Started re-reading the books for the first time since before the tv show began. Surprising how different the books are in some ways, although the tv series has captured the feel of everything really well. But there are some things I'd completely forgotten, like the Earth and Mars being a coalition at the beginning of Leviathan Wakes.
|
I’ve been meaning to get into this for a while now. Finally did. Binged the first 2 seasons over the last couple weeks. All excited to start season 3 last night until I discover that only the last 5 episodes are available for streaming on the SyFy app. So dumb.
|
Finally got caught up. Love this show. Amos is awesome. The reporter chick is a total smoke show.
Edited to provide evidence of smoke show. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...SX1500_AL_.jpg |

Rereading book 4, Cibola Burn, right now, and it's gonna be ****ing nuts on screen. |

Looks like next book is December. |
Watching Season 3 on Amazon Prime right now. Best season so far of the entire series. This showing is getting crazy good.

Love this show but when I saw that it was on Amazon prime video and started watching, I realized that I had already seen those episodes. Those are from last Fall. When is the new season supposed to be released?

I think the most recent guestimate I heard was August.
|
Finished watching Season 3 last night. Can't wait for Season 4 to come out. The possibilities are pretty much endless on the direction they can take this show. I have never read the books so I was caught completely by surprise on the ending.
I have read that have stayed pretty true to the books so far. If they continue to follow that path then I think this show can have a great run on Amazon. |
They sort-of follow the books. Not exact, but closer than, say, Game of Thrones. But the authors are pretty involved in production as I understand, and most of the changes have made sense.
|
I started digging into Season 3 last week after putting it off for some reason. Damn.. this show continues to improve. Sadly, I've had such long breaks between seasons, that I feel like I really need to go back and rewatch the entire thing.
|
I've done that before every new season. Even though I've read the series 3 or 4 times. The show is that good.
|
Just finished Tiamat's Wrath. Good book.
Can't believe there's only one more. |
|
December 13!
About a month after The Mandalorian. Great looking season for science fiction... <iframe width="603" height="339" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNIim3xqsEU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="603" height="339" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9LrZiNOvp_c" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Freaking awesome news I didn't expect: Amazon just renewed it for a 5th season!

This doesn't in any way look different than anything they did on syfy, as far as I can tell. Which is great, obviously...

Can't wait!

Has been a good show so far.

I loved this show so much. I want to read the books so bad, but I’m scared it will **** up my enjoyment of the show.
|
I read the books before the series was even an idea. I don't think it will hurt your enjoyment of the series at all. If anything it may enhance it. Even knowing what's going to happen, the amazing thing with the show is seeing how they actually manage to do it.
And the TV series is about as true to print as anything I've se n. The authors are both writers and producers on the TV series and have been heavily involved since the show's inception. |
Stay away from te okwa!
