Re:The end of space based TV Scifi?
I’m inclined to agree with YOWAYYO. TV and film works in waves, and at the moment space based Sci Fi is at its lull. At this point, it looks like Star Trek will go on Hiatus for a few years, and all those Saturday midday syndicated scifi shows are on their way out. On the other end of the spectrum, present-day scifi is peaking. [i]I’ll take the space stuff anyday.[/i]
I’d be very surprised if BSG is not renewed for another season. It did better then the Stargates last week, and is the networks highest rated show. The show CAN’T be that expensive that it wouldn’t be worth keeping on.
Space Scifi will return in a few years. It’s just going to take one show to be a major success, and then everyone will copy it. A few seasons later and we’ll have too many space operas, few if any will be really worth watching. The shows won’t do well, and we’ll see a recession again.
