Going to start reading this--anyone worried that the show will get canned after 1 season?

It should play really well on television.

What you don't want to see some bad cgi male robots get it on with each other. That is probably what they mean by GoT in space.

I use to have that throttle stick when I played mechwarrior.

Just to answer this one, they already picked up a second season, even though it doesn't premiere until December. So I think you're safe there.

New trailer, exclusive to EW. They've done some polish since the last. I think this looks a lot more like the books: http://bcove.me/fhckom3a

Looks good, I'll be watching it.

New trailer looks much better. Definitely going to watch.

Enjoying Dark matter and Killjoys so far too. Not BSG quality, but fun. And Dark Matter has a pretty interesting story going so far. Good to get some space based sci-fi again.

It's the most expensive show syfy has ever done, is being written by Abraham and Franck so it should be true to their books, and it already has a 2nd season committment. All good signs. We'll see.

I haven't watched any of Dark Matter yet but I do like Killjoys a lot.

I haven't watched Dark Matter or Killjoys yet but sounds like I should check out Killjoys first from what I have read.

Really hope this series works. For the most part the books were the type that I read through quickly and lost sleep staying up to read.

Killjoys seems like the more refined show (better acting/budget/fx), but Dark Matter just has a really cool story so far. Once they have the big reveal I may lose interest, but until then it's got me coming back. Both of these shows kind of snuck up on me.

If The Expanse is on the next level, since we already know it has a great story and has a monster budget, I'll be thrilled. Trying to keep expectations low though. :)

Killjoys is definitely the better show. Dark Matter has the more intriguing story IMO, but that could fall apart at any time.

Binge watched all of Dark Matter (so far). Solid little show. They've got a good Friday setup now with Defiance, Dark Matter and Killjoys.

This little Expanse featurette makes me feel even better about it. The guy playing Amos really gets his character on an emotional level, which was something I'd worried about (anybody who's read the one that just came out will understand...). They're not making him a nice guy.

First review of the pilot that I've seen (it aired at comiccon...):
