Notes:

Syfy President, Dave Howe, claims "The Expanse is epic in scale and scope and promises to be Syfy's most ambitious series to date". We'll see if that holds true. Based on the first episode, which was released early, the show looks interesting. Production values are pretty good. Casting is unimpressive.
