    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Reading a few articles, I can see why SyFy pulled out. They only had first-run rights. Amazon was probably making a killing on the digital market with their season pass that runs concurrently with the SyFy run.

    Ya, I'd expect Amazon/Netflix to snap this up.

    That'd be nice, annoys me with pretty much any show that isn't a sitcom.

    Bummed this is canceled. Done watching this crappy ass channel. Keep cancelling all their good shows. I really hope it does get picked up by someone else.

    Truly fitting of syfy to announce this the week the showed aired what was maybe it's best episode yet. Remember when the channel was good? When one night a week had both Stargate shows, BSG, and Farscape? Two of those were also squandered and cancelled before their time.

    Did the network have something to do with that? I thought the creators just had no plan after the exodus from New Caprica and that's why the last half of the final season felt like such an ass-pull.

    I blame the network for not screening it ahead of time and being like "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK YOU RETARDS PLEASE NO."

    Netflix is no-go. They have their share of scifi all planned out. Same with HBO. It's Amazon or bust.

    Netflix already distributes The Expanse in every country but the US. They should definitely be interested. Even if this is outside their "planned" investment, it's a provable property with a big fanbase.

    I hope you're right. Apparently what I was regurgitating (about Netflix being disinterested) was from someone behind the scenes, but just a prop master, so hopefully that's wrong and Netflix is interested too.

    It has to be Amazon or it's a dead show. If any other broadcaster wants the Expanse, Amazon would have to annul their current deal or be bought out of their contract for digital broadcasting rights hours after it airs. I can see the hard pass by Netflix, HBO, Fox (on FX) and Showtime since Amazon holds so much leverage. SyFy got really fucked by Amazon and cord cutters.

    No, Syfy fucked itself by being one of the worst networks on Cable for over a decade.

    What, you don't like Braveheart and wrestling on your science-fiction channel?

    I wished the episode ended on "We gotta talk." But I'll take that. Plus Amos continues to be a BAMF.

    Sounding like Amazon will be picking the show up. Or they are at least interested in doing so.
