[QUOTE="CmdrShep2183, post: 174308, member: 10513"] Back in the early 2000s we had awesome epic space operas like Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5. I used to see a lot of commercials promoting the Battlestar Galactica TV series back in 2004-05. I was never interested in sci fi until earlier this year when I played the first Mass Effect under the recommendation of a friend. I thought the Battle for the Citadel scene was epic. I have yet to watch Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5. Why don't we see shows like Battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5 anymore? Did the network execs decide the genre was dead? Have the average person lost interest in space exploration? Have we become more cynical for the future? I think we need more epic space battles on TV. [MEDIA=youtube]bNnd6oUEQ2I[/MEDIA] It was long thought that fantasy was a genre once thought reserved for geeks but Game of Thrones has garnered a huge audience. Perhaps a well written space opera with a huge budget could appeal to a diverse audience. Do you think this genre should be revived? [/QUOTE]
