There’s got to be at least one Blue Origin cameo if amazon is taking this show on.

the reason for why syfy cancel the show was not because it was expensive to make it was because they were not getting enough money from it as production company was making money from it, it's boils down to a crappy deal that syfy made with the production company for first showing only. as for Netflix only reason why they not renew rights to the show and not join the bidding process was that they knew amazon was serious for this show and to help sweeten the deal with amazon, Netflix publicly announce that they were not renewing it come September of last year so that amazon could have right to back catalogue. if amazon wasn't actively looking to pick it up or didn't pick it up, Netflix would have pick it up.
I don't get the reference?

I check a few hours ago only 1-2 were on to buy but as for few minute ago season 1-3 are now on prime service so for thoughts with amazon prime to can watch it for free.

I'm up to episode 5 of season 3 at present, i can confirm that it is the uncut version and not TV broadcast version as the F-bomb was drop a number of time. would have been fewer in to the series but I had to watch the last few minute of season 2 episode 12
just after saving the refugee from the missile, holden targets the mar's warships and hale's them to give's his ultimatum.
Didn't even know it was filmed in 4k...another reason for a 4k TV upgrade on the back of the Alien 4k release later this year.

Glad S3 is up will be watched over weekend, I think S4 will be first season in UHD.

from what I know season 1 -3 can be upscale 4k and done good due to it being film in HD below 4k, as for season 4 there strong chance of it being film in 4k.
It's already been covered but basically they only made money from ad revenue during the breaks so wasn't feasible for them to carry on. Thank god it got picked up by Bezos.

one of the new cast members of the show confirmed that the show has wrap up filming, that it will air at some point in 2019 and that it will be natively in 4K UHD.

Because Syfy are **** - awful understanding of their audience and of how to promote a show and don't seem easy to work with for existing shows. (See Dark Matter for instance).

as other have mention and if you read past post in here or other online threads/posts you would see the complete picture to why. but to briefly summarise it all boils down to the fact that when syfy made there original deal for the show with the production company they did a P*** pour job of it.
Jeff bezos is the founder of blue origin.

I dididn even realise it was released, watched the first 2 episodes of season 3 last night.
Dunno if it was done intentionally but interesting that Amos for instance has good muzzle discipline (other than when he doesn't for a reason hah) and tactical awareness whereas others like Alex for instance is pointing his gun all over the place which kind of goes against his supposed roots so might have been an oversight in production.
Well Alex was Navy (MCRN) so he's gonna be pants in an actual gunfight
Looking it up the actor who plays Amos has actual military training and came from the military into acting - I thought his handling was a bit good (he is obviously processing the why not just going through the motions) even for an actor who has done a bit of weapons training. It really works with the character though.
