[QUOTE="StellarAstro69, post: 386162, member: 57529"] Is there anyone here that agrees with that sentiment? I think concepts like Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" series about a WW1 with steampunk machines and genetically engineered animals and Harry Turtledove's "Worldwar" series about an alien invasion during World War 2 would be cool if they had HBO level quality writers, directors, and actors. I also like the concept of far future "Space Opera". I would love to see an HBO quality adaption of "Mass Effect", "Revelation Space", or Verner Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep". How about a TV series where seasons 1-2 is set during an alternate steampunk WW1 then seasons 3-4 is an alternate WW2 with an alien invasion and the season after that is a space race with the final seasons being a space opera type story? Would it be even possible to pull something like that off with the most talented people in the TV industry? [MEDIA=youtube]fO1RBYsspVU[/MEDIA] I really enjoyed "Marvel", "Game of Thrones", and "Stranger Things" but I hope the next big pop culture phenomenon is something that is not of a existing franchise. Never was much of a "Trek" or "Wars" fan although I enjoyed the Star Wars movies. Sadly it seems like the major corporations are so obsessed with milking existing franchises than taking chances with new stuff. [/QUOTE]
