I guess with a movie you have 2 hrs to fill and some budget so special 
effect are easier to budget.

On a TV series you have to spread that budget around, can't have as much 
space fights so you go brainier, but it enable to explore interesting 
topics about the human conditions or developing relationship between 
characters. Something you can't afford in a movie.
