But sadly it seems like fans of Trek and Wars are not interested in checking out other franchises and that non Star Wars and Trek fans think that it is a childish genre.
I enjoyed the Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Wars movies but I have to say that The Expanse and Mass Effect were my favorite space sagas.
Like Trek and Wars they had lovable spaceship crews but their stories and universes seemed new, interesting, and exciting compared to those existing franchises which have been done to death. Unlike Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy the universes of Mass Effect and The Expanse seemed more scientific compared to the fantastical universes of Wars and GOTG.
I also loved Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep". It evoked a sense of wonder I haven't felt since playing the first Mass Effect a decade ago.
Before GOT fantasy outside of the LOTR and Harry Potter movies were seen as a genre reserved for people who lived in basements but GOT managed to captivate a huge mainstream audience.
It still seems that stuff with spaceships and aliens are still seen as childish by society even by people who enjoy Wars and Trek.
I find it kind of sad the people who are fans of Trek and Wars are not campaigning for Hollywood to give us a all new space saga set in a new exciting universe.
I think it would be cool if mainstream TV viewers were going crazy over something on TV with a lovable spaceship crew, intergalactic mystery, political intrigue, and exotic futuristic technology but with a HBO quality story line and sex that changed people's perception of that genre like Game of Thrones did for fantasy.
I think we need a far future space adventure on TV that is like The Expanse or Mass Effect that was of HBO level quality but on a service that can reach a wider audience like HBO or Netflix.
And I think that show should be set in an optimistic and exciting vision of the future rather than a setting like The Expanse, I don't think TV viewers would be excited to live as wage slaves on asteroids or military fascists on Mars but yet has the lovable spaceship crew, exciting space battles, political intrigue, and gripping story as well as a universe that seems more scientific than fantastical like The Expanse rather than Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy.
I found Apple TV's "Foundation" and Paramount's "Halo" to be bland.
