I thought the show wouldn't cost that much since Trion was partially footing the bill but I guess since the game has kind of sunk as well, financing must have gotten harder considering the Expanse is also apparently SyFy's attempt at the next Game of Thrones.

Aside from Minority Report, there was also Killjoys, the 100, Continuum (finished)12 Monkeys, Dark Matter (lol) and all those zombie shows that fall into sci-fi viewing so its not like it was the only thing on TV.

Didn't the game go free to play after like a year? Or has it only been free to play for a year? I only just tried it out the last couple of months. It's fun, and there were a surprising amount of people online at any given time, but I don't know how they intend to keep such a large world going on microtransactions alone.

And yeah, I suspect the reason a lot of shows got the early warning to wrap up their storylines this season was to free up funds for The Expanse. The reviews coming out of the screenings suggest they have to be shovelling cash into the production values with a backhoe.

I'll miss Defiance, but I'll always be grateful they didn't end it on a cliffhanger or anything like that. It was sad, but satisfying.
