Why did it only have one season?

Can't go wrong with a good Space Western, it's a staple genre. (Trigun, desert punk, etc)

it was pretty much just a wild west show set in space. Where's the audience? They're watching wild west shows, that's where they are.

Fox fucked it up

- bad airtime
- No promotions
- Aired the episode's random

true. I never even heard of it until well after it had been cancelled. I was skimming channels late one night and landed on Serenity on HBO or Cinemax. Loved the movie, looked it up on imdb and found out about the series. Bought the dvd's at Target the next day.

The Expanse is one of the best things of any genre to come out this year. Its amaze-balls.

Star Trek Enterprise challenges your assertion
>>
Here are my arguments
Characters were shit, except for that egg head guy
What about Londo Mollari and G'kar?
Acting was shit
It was cheesy but it had it moments like Londo G'kar Delenn and Garibaldi
Music was shit
Chekhov was shit
Yes he was
Effects were shit
Remember they we're made with Amiga software
DS9 did it so much better
Ds9 was good but different show.

Dont want to argue you opinion just want have converisition.

Because FOX is watched by normies and if it had been picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel (before it's gay renaming) they wouldn't have been able to afford to pay Joss Whedon.

It's a bummer though. It was a fun show. I haven't had a good sci-fi show to watch since Battlestar Galactica ended. Am I missing anything?

I keep meaning to go back and give it another chance.
I could not stand that guy with the hair and his retarded nephew. At least his interactions with the egg head guy (G'kar) were entertaining.
Watch the first episode again and cringe at the amount of blatant exposition. Such bad writing.
That opening scene "The name of the place is Babylon 5" is awful. Nobody speaks like that.
Yes the effects were done on the equivalent of an Amiga but maybe they shouldn't have been, because they were quite clearly shit.
My understanding is that DS9 actually used since of B5's rejected scripts early on.

here is my beef about firefly

it feels like writers were told to write story about
life after usa civil war for a losing side

so they did, interesting characters, great episodes, a lot of work done

then directors come in and told them - ehh, it was just metaphorical you coke addicted fucks we wanted story based in future with those themes

and then writers went fuck it

train became space train, gun - a space gun

contraband - a space contraband
