Syfy's Forgotten 50-Episode Space Opera Deserves To Be As Big As Battlestar Galactica

While Battlestar Galactica was a massive critical and commercial hit, SyFy’s other space opera from the same era deserved to be as fondly remembered as its more famous competitor. The space opera genre has come a long way since Star Trek: The Original Series debuted in the ’60s. From ribald parodies like Futurama and the short-lived British sci-fi sitcom Hyperdrive to the deluge of successful space operas from the ‘90s, including Stargate, Farscape, and Babylon 5, there is no shortage of iconic space opera series.
