Default Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

can you imagine the production costs for a series based on SE4 would be, it would be highly rated like Galactica and some of the others, but would probably be cancelled because of costs, yet I would think with Tech today that graphics would be cheaper due to computers then the older ways

Kwok, what do you consider the best Scifi series ever? Name another Scifi show were the ENTIRE CAST could act. Yeah...

TOS: Worse acting and writting than Lost in Space.
ST:TNG: No story arcs at all
Voyager: Sucked
DS9: Best Trek, even if it was a rip off of B5, actually people besides the Captain that could act, story lines were actually connected sometimes.
B5: Could never watch more than five minutes, the damn race of Napoleans freaked me out.

Get out of my sight!
And Napoleons? They weren't Napoleons! They were imperialistic!

You know I always liked "Space: Above and Beyond"......
It probally doesn't qualify for the bgest sci fi but it comes close for me.

I did some more checking, did you know Farscape was filmed on Fox Studios Austrailia?

I bet that had a major part in killing it.

As for a SE4 based TV series, I think it would be very affordable if done with all-CGI characters. Live action and puppet contruction would raise costs drastically. CGI is the way to go.

Now another issue with that pops up, most TV markets are strongly against an cgi series geared for intelligent people. This is a result of various high-named actors condemning the movies like Final Fantasy & S1MONE for use of CGI actors. (S1MONe didn't use a CGi actress, but they made everyone think it).

Japan and Korea would be great markets for a CGi SE4 series.

Why? and Why only the Far East?

Europe and Australia, also Canada will probably take it up a lot. America and others... It's a maybe.

Edit: Simone used a Canadian model.
