Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.

      The Expanse was fantastic. I’d love to see the rest of the books adapted some day…

      As for other sci-fi, my god there’s so much good shit in literature that will never be seen on a screen.

      The Three Body Problem is getting several adaptations, one of which might or might not fix my issues with that series, but it does have conceptual potential.

      Same. I loved both in their times but the last ten years of sci fi tv and film have been like watching my favorite restaurants turn into fast foods chains.
