The stories set in space are a dozen. Some space saga rely on unrecognizable mysteries (which are best left unexplored), while others have more personal access, presenting the possibility of disappointment to look deeper. Many of these stories also emphasize human perseverance (like "Marsejian", a story where humanity exceeds the impossible chances), underlining our collective triumph over what is there.

But the tinted 33 and sculpting sub-lach "Solaris" (causing Hollywood adaptation led by George Clooney Andrew Tarkovsky Classic) there is not much hope for humanity. He explores the vain of communication with extraterrestrial life and how extremely wrong is such a venture. In "Solaris", rationality and science can only take you so far, as some truths are not intended to be understood by the human mind. So when scientists arrive at the Solaris station to continue to examine the title of sensitive planet, they face a psychological mirror that almost breaks their fragile sense of themselves. The ghosts of the past are returned to persecute them and they are forced to recognize their limitations as hopeless deficiencies. Lemn argues that mankind is inherently incapable of perceiving what is truly alien, because it is not in our nature to move over our limited prejudice and socio-cultural structures.

These feelings are reflected in the Premier Video "Oas", based on Michelle Faber's 2014 novel "The Book of Strange New Things". This 59-minute pilot premiered in 2017 and was supposed to cause a series of full blown, but never happened even though the pilot himself received over average critical reviews and audiences. In Oasis, human characters are out of their depth after moving to a new space colony; There, they come across horrors to compete with the persecutive destruction that Solaris scientists experience in Lemm's book. Our protagonist is Peter Lee (Richard Madden, who was fresh at the time of the explosive success of the Game of Thrones), the chapel sent to this colony without explanation, causing a mix between its already top scientists upon its arrival.

Can this premise bloom in an attractive scientific series? Let's speculate on what we know.

The following contains spoilers for "oasis".

It is unclear why the potential oasis series has been canceled or whether it will carefully follow what the pilot is set. It is worth remembering that the parameters of Amazon for green lighting series have changed over the years, so perhaps Oasis has simply failed to meet its specific criteria in 2017. Whatever the reason, it is still worth examining the pilot, which carries its fictional world and the inhabitants of life with a sense of nasty realism. I doubt that anyone who prices Underestimated scientific gems like "The Expanse" Would he be on the Board for the full series of Oasis, as he promised to approach the concept of planetary exile in a strained and unconventional way. After all, how many scientific stories are told from the point of view of a heart priest who realizes that his faith may not stick to a foreign planet extremely divorced by human constructions?

As you may have already guessed, an impetus for hasty space colonization in Oasis lies in the fact that the Earth is dying, causing a desperate extraterrestrial mission of an exoplanet similar to the desert. Mankind's options are obviously limited here: the crew of the colony (which are terrorized by strange landing events) are skeptical of the chapel that is sent to help them, but quickly accept any help they can get in such serious circumstances. But Peter quickly realizes that he is as captured as others; His capsule is immediately cut for use on his arrival and promises of his return to Earth are beginning to feel more and more vague.

Before someone can consider the implications of accepting an organized religion before such a crisis, the terrible events begin to gather. Unexplained accidents occur crew because they are hallucinating for their families and stretched out in the treacherous dunes of the planet. After a certain point, the crew concludes that these hallucinations have not been activated by environmental factors, but are aware of attacks from a sensitive planet that seems to reject their presence. This is the same psychological mirror with which humanity should oppose "Solaris", where every person, including Peter, is forced to face its biggest disadvantages and the worst sins without succumbing to the planet's will to destroy.

Do they succeed? We will never know. But if the Oasis was Greenlit with Madden as a guidance (along with the talented international team represented in the pilot), the series may have had a successful escape to both the critical and viewer Front, as it contained the right ingredients for a scholarship series worthy of science. The delicious ambiguity represented by the pilot could have been the X factor of the show, combined with an attractive story that could reduce the deep complexity of its original material.
