Doc Smith, 'Banner of the Stars', 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' or 'Heroic Age' as to be considered a "Space Opera". i.e. GRAND SPACE adventure with travels thru Hundreds of planets and don't forget MASSIVE SPACESHIP BATTLES!<br />+<br />Space Opera is really only found to a limited degree in PC GAMES only like 'Sins of the Solar Empire', 'Homeworld', and EVE online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-35332236304040889572011-09-06T16:52:58.263-03:002011-09-06T16:52:58.263-03:00Space Operas have a new home, on VIDEO GAME CONSOL...Space Operas have a new home, on VIDEO GAME CONSOLES.<br /><br />Look all the major space based enterntainment franchises ahve been VG's.<br /><br />HALO - XBOX exclusive<br />KILLZONE - PS3<br />Dead Space<br />Mass Effect<br /><br />games and sf have a really close relationship, one of the first two major arcade hits were Space Invaders and Asteroids.Gary T.

It would be made in a miniseries format for a pay cable net like HBO.<br /><br />2. It would be EPIC in scale but low cost to produce. It will nto be some costly ego trip like avatar.Gary T.

You had the dude from 'Quantum Leap' and you make a muddled, muddy, series designed to fill in when a network needed something for syndication. Show after show was worthless from inception or worse destroyed by every person who could 'put his stamp' on the show but had no creative talent.<br /><br />I hate what all the channels but especially 'sy fy' has done to space opera. Science fiction can be done on the cheap. But Syfy screws with it all the time making movies that literally have cardboard sets and worse acting. I hate their Gatoroid vs Sharkacroc crap that they run. What is up with that? Why do they keep making those horrible movies?Rainforest Gianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240761465708154282noreply@blogger.com
