Trailer for SyFy's The Expanse
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
Looks like it could be really good. So expect Skiffy to find a way to muck it up with swift dedication.
Not visibly or notably in the trailer, so...so what?
What do you mean last age of sci shows? BSG, Farscape...
You've seen as much as we have.
The books had character POV chapters like GOT, so there is that.
A pity, but yeah, I can't see SyFy allowing a character who says "fuck" every second sentence (and that's when she's in a good mood) in one of their shows.
Here is a trailer breakdown for you that identifies all protagonists (and more) from the book:

Ship crew (Holden is far right):

The authors are friends with GRRM and one is his assistant, so I'd say there is some healthy influence there.
Admittedly, the trailer itself is rather meh, though because of the books I'll be checking out the show.
But even then, I'm not as blown away by the books as many seem to be. They're decent reads, and there isn't much to complain about. But if anything, I found the world created in the books to be more interesting than the stories themselves. Although the books do have some interesting and memorable characters in them.
The casting I'm unsure about. Thomas Jane is a good actor, but in the trailer he's too good looking for the character of Detective Miller who is supposed to be some sort of grizzled noir detective who the books constantly describe as "dog faced." And Captain Holden is younger than I got the impression the character in the books is supposed to be.
So far it's just "sometime in 2015," probably around the Fall/Winter since it's still in production.
Speculation on my part, but since there is a trailer out now, it could air as early as summer.
