I haven't gotten around to watching the series yet but I can highly recommend the books. With your background you might be interested in the lengthy discussions of the feasibility of the Epstein drive you can find on some forums...


I'm way behind in the books. I think the science in The Expanse is realistic than in Star Trek.  I think the drive is feasible.

@Snarkando

You mean Arnold Epstein invented something? Who ever thought one of the kids from Welcome Back Kotter would do well?

'Star Trek' star Nichelle Nichols' son says mom needs help
Jed Dreben
1 day ago


Nichelle Nichols, 85, the iconic actress known worldwide for playing the beautiful Lieutenant Uhura aboard the USS Enterprise in the "Star Trek" television series from 1966 to 1969, is said to be suffering from severe short-term memory loss and therefore vulnerable, according to her son.

TMZ is reporting that Nichols' son, Kyle Johnson, filed legal documents on May 4, requesting appointment of four trustees to take conservatorship of his mother. This power, if granted, would give these legal guardians control of her finances as well as decisions pertaining to her health.   ...  More

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Movie May Be Inspired by 1 Classic Episode

Brendan Morrow
The Cheat Sheet
May 10, 2018

Quote
Quentin Tarantino is making a Star Trek movie. That’s a sentence fans of the franchise never thought they would read, as the Tarantino brand doesn’t exactly seem like it would fit with Star Trek.

But Tarantino himself loves Star Trek. In fact, he has gone on record as saying that there’s one episode of the show that he would love to turn into a two-hour film, and looking at that episode gives us a good idea of what he’s got cooking. Here’s the Star Trek episode that Tarantino will likely draw inspiration from for his new movie.

Syfy Says This Season of The Expanse Will Be the Last One on the Network
https://io9.gizmodo.com/syfy-says-this-season-of-the-expanse-will-be-the-last-o-1825944225

Well with Killjoys being on that network (won't watch it unless it's on a streaming platform) and I don't know about Nightflyers, I guess I'm done watching the SyFy channel (unless Nightflyers is good).

Nightflyers sounds promising but with SyFy you never know. I'm recording Krypton although I think my likelihood of ever watching it is slim...

Edit> SyFy also brought us Happy - they deserve some credit for that...

I saw an episode of Krypton, it was OK. I guess if you want to see quality SciFi, you have to use a streaming service.

Well I found out it is not 100% confirmed and they are still talking. Site used Hollywood Reporter as the main source and not total legit or it could be.


As for why SyFy cancelled the show it has to do with their history and I think it has to do with $$$$$

I think HBO set the precedent with stinginess when Deadwood wasn't renewed for a 4th season.  Critics loved it, fans loved it.....   
HBO though the profit margin was too low.  ....   Bastards.   And now that Powers Boothe is dead, heck with re-start.

They needed the time slot for a paranormal wrassling show.

When The Expanse is over, I'm done with the SyFy channel. I'm not going to watch NightFlyers until it is on a streaming service.

I think they tested the outer limits of tedium by leaving that ghost show for what seemed like 20 years.
