This was by far the best news all week. I’m a fan of both the books and the series and rate them quite highly, because even if some of the plot devices could be tuned down a little the hard physics, sheer attention to detail and character dynamics make it a treat for both sides of the brain.
The biggest takeaway, though, is that SyFy is fundamentally incompetent at managing their assets – this is the latest in a series of fumbles and cancellations that shows they are completely missing the point of the genre they’re named after, and I’m very glad Amazon picked this up.
After all, this is the best Sci-Fi show in recent years, and it would be a near criminal waste to deny us this kind of glimpse into what could be the future of the human condition (regardless of the plot devices).
