Bring Back More Space Operas!

There's an interesting article over at the Nerdist website by Kyle Anderson, lamenting the lack of space operas.

"Space Operas are characterized by being, essentially, romantic adventure melodramas set in space or on another planet. They’re kind of just Westerns, samurai, or seafaring adventure stories set in outer space. There’s very little “science” behind this breed of science fiction, but what it does have is wide expanses, huge vistas, heroes, villains, big emotions, action, and, my favorite bit, shots of spaceships flying."

Have to agree, this is one of my favourite movie genres, and I'm really getting into the pulp action adventure sci-fi books that inspired these films too.
