And +1 for BSG, I’ve always loved the show. I actually just watched the first two episodes again this past week, but for the first time I decided to smoke some weed first.
Holy shit I get WAY more into the show when I’m baked… Like I was trying not to cry when the 60 FTL capable ships left the other 20ish behind and they focused on the little girl playing with her bear as the nukes detonated…
And hearing everyone go from a solemn, muttered “so say we all…” to a strong, purposeful “SO SAY WE ALL!”

I really like the bits of the Expanse I’ve seen. I absolutely love how realistic they portray space life, especially combat. After a few episodes I realized it was one long continued story, and the series was still being worked on, I lost all drive to finish it.
I’ll pick it back up eventually, it just feels like sitting down to watch a 200 hour movie, rather than a TV show.
Also, the trilogy is set 30 years after Babylon’s Ashes, so even if I’d have liked the TV show to continue after book 6, it finished in a way that doesn’t leave any major cliffhangers.
I’m still hoping they’ll simply continue the show 30 years after the last season, so that all actors have the right age. Although
Spoiler for book 7
Duarte hasn’t aged because of protomolecule treatment, so that one would still need another actor or a lot of makeup
+1 for Voyager. I’m almost finished a watch through now and I’m kicking myself for not watching it as a kid. I watched so many reruns of TNG and DS9 after school but somehow missed Voyager.
And The Expanse is well worth the watch. The books are phenomenal and some of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
The start of BSG is so good. One of the best, if not the best, starts of any show. 33, in particular, is so strong. It really makes you feel the pressure that they’re being hunted.
Sadly the end of the show isn’t nearly as good. It’s not a Game of Thrones ending, but it’s a drop in quality from the start, but I don’t know how you’d end it with the same level as it starts.
I’ll add Voyager to that trek list.

Yeah the expanse book series is apparently three duologies and a trilogy.
But that mindset helped me frame the story better.
