The Expanse, for instance, is based on a series of books by James S.A. This is of particular interest on Syfy, which is increasingly branding itself as the network to turn to if you want to watch (or create) strong genre series based on acclaimed sci-fi and fantasy books. But just as much of it was about how TV shows adapted from books are written today. Some of that was due to The Expanse being a mystery show, where the center of the story was finding this missing girl and figuring out what was so important about her. However, I also had the feeling that most of the time, the series was only telling me half the story. Prior to the season's final three hours (which began with that eighth episode), I had very much enjoyed The Expanse, especially in its go-for-broke action sequences and its bigger plot twists. Syfy is more and more branding itself as a network of novel adaptations And guys with cool weaponry. It's a payoff, in other words, for a story that up until this point has desperately needed one. It's a big, action-packed sequence, one that finally unites the majority of the show's disparate plots in one bigger story. Oh, and they're also about to stumble upon what appears to be a horrifying experiment using alien technology on human beings. All these characters meet up in the middle of a firefight, meant to assassinate one member of the spaceship's crew. The eighth episode of Syfy's space opera The Expanse features one of the most thrilling moments I've seen on TV this year.ĭetective Miller ( Thomas Jane), who's been tracking a missing girl, finally comes in contact with the crew of a spaceship, who almost died when answering said missing girl's distress call out in the middle of the solar system.
