I made a pilot for a TV show in college, it was about cyborgs that work at a deep-space convenience store and it had aliens and space-miners and robot salesmen. I always wanted to write the rest of the show ahead of time like Babylon 5 style but it's such a pipe-dream if I was actually going to write like 50 scripts it would make way more sense to do a bunch of projects than just one. But I have ideas for like 3-4 seasons worth of show, so... Thank you for listening to my disappointing tale of space operas, every writer has at least one.

Do you guys want to see my awkward weird filmschool attempt at a space opera? The thing itself is like 45 minutes and I'd have to make a digital copy, but I have tons of really silly on-set photos of costumes and effects and a real cool set. If you want to see it PM me I'll make a thread. Content- On a planet where spherical plants are the dominant species, Dash Fastmore, better known as THE STAR ORPHAN, has grown up believing he is one of them. But on his 21st "earthday" his true origins are revealed, and THE STAR ORPHAN must return to Earth in time to claim his rightful place as King of England.

It's basically Seven Brides for Seven Brothers but in a pit-fighting arena on Mars. Miniseries, real classy.

TINA, an A.I. program created by humans in 2200 for an experimental ark ship, was created with a ten-thousand-year space mission in mind and has her various neuroses because of it. Every episode jumps at least a generation ahead as TINA begrudgingly interacts with the chirping monkeys that live on her, until the series finale where she, bursting at the seams with humans, reaches her destination, a long dormant alien superstructure who might be her soulmate. It's Bossypants meets The Ship Who Sang (with some Brave Little Toaster in there.)

A crew of uplifted cockatiels and parrots must guide their starship through dangerous nebulae believed to contain the ghosts of an alien civilization. At first Captain Gray believes the ghosts are merely a superstition, but as the crew starts talking to dead relatives and lost loved ones in the reflections of mirrors sanity begins to decay. Now the remaining sane members of the crew must stop a mutiny as the lower ranks attack their own reflections viciously and lose their minds...

Princess Corona of the Solar Titans has been kidnapped by spacemen from beyond the Oort cloud! Can a punk-rock band abducted from a rooftop concert in 1981 by Martian poachers escape their Phobos enclosure, free Mars AND Earth AND Heaven from the spacemen, traverse the solar systems icy distances and rescue the princess from Planet X!? Probably, yes! Expect the expected, in Space Opera A!

Duckbox posted:The ship's sapient AI (female, sultry) does all the piloting and onboard operations freeing the ragtag crew to devote all their time to interspecies love triangles and zero g sword fights set to dubstep theramin music. Half the cast has vague accents and they all look like the low budget Canadian equivalent of actual TV stars. Every episode is just a Star Trek plot with more swearing and partial nudity. You've never heard of it, but there's already three seasons on Netflix. Oh hell yes I'll watch me some gender-bent Lexx... |

Earth's molemen and Mars' molemen finally go to all-out war, and the surface people are vexed by all the missiles being launched up through the ground. When NASA tries to do something about it by hiring a famous police psychic the wheels of change are set into motion, and Madam Mystico's Space Rangers are born! There's Tiny, the fat one! There's Bigs, the not fat one! And 4 other rotating cast members who are never there long enough to earn the audience's trust. Together they... I dunno, fall down on a crappy little set a bunch? Run through hallways pointing toy guns? This is such a paint-by-numbers genre you can just imagine any stupid thing and it fits, the ...walrus men from Ganymede attack with their... nuclear... boomerangs... I suddenly feel like reading a book.

Will any of the side characters wise up that it's just an aquarium treasure-chest taped to the holomap? Tune in every episode for six seasons to find out! |

I was just your average run-of-the-mill astronaut until an energy burst from Proxima Centauri transformed me into The Pancakes Man! Now, quarantined to not-earth space to prevent infecting others, I search the galaxy for my tormentors, forever running from the many hungry enemies out to get The Pancakes Man. In my short-stack rocket with maple-drive I search this disk of stars for a butter-pat of revenge. Those who wronged me will rue the day they created... The Pancakes Man. -Rated Tv 60+ for constant swearing and seizure-inducing special effects. -Every episode contains three unique suicide attempts with follow-at-home instructions. -Airs upside down in the southern hemisphere for space-accuracy. -Reunites the entire surviving casts of Cheers AND Frasier as you've never seen them before! |

Duckbox posted:Earthmen and Veganoids have been at war for a thousand years, but space is actually really big you guys, so basically all they do is hurl sick burns at each other. When Roastmaster General Travis Burnward finds himself trapped on an asteroid with the Veganoids warrior poetess Caustix, insults, laser cutlasses, and... sparks will fly, but can these two knights of slam find the common ground to unite their peoples? Yes. I want to produce this off-broadway with Laura Linney and John Witherspoon. We will make a loving fortune. |

When Earth's pornography archives reach one trillion zetabytes in size they spontaneously generate sentience, and after The Great Porndroid wars all traces of smut are banished to space. But, after a thousand years of peace are shattered by a rural farm couple making homebrew on MakeMake, a gravelly planetoid in the kuiper belt, the porndroids are back! How will the prudish anti-sex humans of the inner worlds cope with their ancient enemy's unquenchable lust? Will the "backwards" trans-neptunian homesteaders with their famous promiscuity save the day? Or will a dark underworld of Venusian secret sisterhoods trade humanity's genitals for galactic power!? Find out next year on Gene Roddenberry's Lewdstar. |

A team of human contortionists serve as Earth's diplomats to foreign planets in "Fit In". Each week our team must adapt to new alien languages, vehicles, eating utensils, clothing and even doors designed for beings that are utterly inhuman. Winning a starship battle is hard, but preventing one by sitting politely in a chair meant for creatures with flagellum is even harder. In the big season one finale the team leader is killed after a misunderstanding arises from her not showering off sunscreen after a jog on a major human space station. The aliens, who see the ultra-violet spectrum, interpret it as war-paint, a reaction the team decodes only after their leader has been assassinated by a disabled alien veteran. (Now I've reached the shows I actually want to make) |

When terrorists initiate Kessler syndrome by detonating flak bombs in low earth orbit, humanity's one off-world colony, a lunar base still in its infancy, must cope with its new isolation from the homeworld and seize the mantle of exploration. But with experts predicting it will take three hundred years for the storm to die down and all transmissions, shipments, our any other form of interaction from earth blocked, the men and women of Eagle's Landing must retrofit an agrarian and surprisingly religious society into a self-sufficient capital from whence to explore the cosmos. They are the loneliest men Since Adam, coming next year. |
