>>79235351
You alright?

Is the new season shit? Why are the ratings so low?

>>79235351
Easy there cowboy, I'm sure there are still plenty of Star Wars prequel threads you can enjoy.

I re-watched the series yesterday but I skipped all the Earth politics stuff because I find it pretty boring. I think I have a handle on almost everything but one thing I might have missed: the necklace Thomas Jane is keeping, is there some significance? Or just something he remembers Julie by?

It's only aired one night let's see what happens. But, this show doesn't strike me as anything that will ever be popular with a massive audience. Too weird, too complex and too depressing.

The statement said for every show I've ever liked.

>>79234570
This series is cool and you should feel cool.

>>79237119
Yeah, but BSG was all of those things and it was sort of a big thing when it aired.

>>79237222

The Expanse will never generate as much buzz as BSG because it just isn't as good. I'm not even saying The Expanse is bad, but let's be realistic here...

Personally, I'd rather not have big threads and constant generals for this show. While that means there's a chance it won't last as long on air as super popular shows, it will hopefully mean the quality won't go down sharply.

>>79237408
Battlestar Galactica also had name recognition and some known actors. People were curious what they would do with it while no one knows what Expanse is.

BSG isn't very good though. Were you 14yo when it came out or when you first watched it? Fan service pandering is a sign of lower quality.

>>79237449
>some known actors.
Well, it had one known actor.

Jesus man, that Martian marine chick is annoying as fuck.

>a woman beating a fucking military robot in arm wrestling

>>79237540
I was disappointed to read on wikipedia that she will be a major ongoing part of the cast.

>>79237615
Lel. Your fault for not reading the book.

>>79236831
I'd actually be curious to read what an "expert" thinks about this. Too smart? Too political? Not enough pandering?

This losing to Dark Matter in the ratings is sort of embarrassing, especially considering DM's first season had little more than a decent idea, 1 cheesy but admittedly cool character and a whole lot of 2nd rate sets, cringe-worthy cliches, trips to planet canada and some really naff dialogue. Season 2 was decent tho.

>>79237658

That's crazy talk anon

>>79237661
Terrible lead. The guy playing Holden would have turned me off the show if I hadn't read the books first.

>>79237615
>>79237540

She's great in the books. Much like Avasarala (Indian female Dick Cheney) they have brought her in much earlier than in the books, which I am AOK with, but hope they don't fuck up. They (the Martian Marines) are supposed to be fucking unstoppable, so I hope they play that up well. The suits aren't as impressive as I'd hoped, but hey, budget and realism.

I am curious of the fate of this show.
A. gets better and goes for a long time
B. stays good and gets wrapped up neatly after a few seasons
C. stays good and gets cancelled with no series resolution
D. turns to shit and no one cares anyway

Having nine books or whatever crazy number is a blessing and a curse. There's lots of material for more seasons but it also means it's hard to conclude the show gracefully. I hate it when a series ends with no finale.

>>79237934
i've read some spoilers and it gets kind of crazy around book 4

it will probably be like most tv shows, it peaks around season 3/4 and then falls off in quality and they end it

>>79237934

Yeah and right now they're basically halfway in the first book. They're clearly cramming some stuff together, which is perfectly reasonable, so I'm sure they can manage to skip the plot of at least one book, if not two, but still there's a lot.

Oh, especially the book on the fucking colony, man that is super skippable. Not that it wasn't good, but nobody wants a whole season of NOT IN SPACE.

Fuck me. I wish I enjoyed the show more, clearly it has a lot of care in the production.

But I fucking hate the hairstyles.

I enjoy almost everything about this show aside from a couple characters. I have a feeling it's going to start getting really good right before it gets cancelled. Syfy doesn't seem to allow low performing shows to stick around anymore, unless they are cheap to make

Tonight? Will they usually air on Wednesdays?

>>79237615
this.
>>79237658
is she black in the book too?
they will bring him together with one of the white guys too (Amos or Miller?)

>>79237449
it still can turn out to be a BSG 3.0, starting with that above mentioned new character

>>79238360

She's a giant samoan in the books. Close enough. Not a huge fan of the accent though.

>>79238148
I like Thomas Jane's hair in the show, it's so wrong yet fits with the whole character he's going for.

>>79238238
isn't this show one of their biggest hits right now?

Weird hair adds realism to the future thing, though. If people from the 1800s looked at today's hairstyles they'd probably find them weird as well.

I'm worried about the fate of this show when I look at its rating vs. Defiance which was cancelled a couple years ago. This show must cost a lot to make with all the sets and effects. It might not last.

>>79237790
That is true. And there's not even an argument against that other than Miller is sort of the lead too and it's not the first time the lead's bland as shit. Regardless I don't think it fully justifies the low ratings. Or maybe I'm just expecting too much out of a straight-faced space-fi.

>>79239133
>Is it though?
Well, yes when you consider how ropey the 1st season of it was. I'd have thought the main complain with tv sci-fi is how poorly it stacks up to the movies (especially visually) but if anything, DM's comparative success is telling us people don't really care about that, rather something pretty lowbrow.

Mars btfo

Every scene with Draper so far has been objectively terrible, in large part due to her actor.

>>79244557
I like her!

>>79244557
this, she doesnt look anything like what i thought when i read the books. i essentially picture a Samoan Zarya from overwatch, wearing warhammer space marine armor

>>79244557

I agree. I think they're pushing her Martian nationalism way too much, probably so there's more character development when she works for Avasarala.

>>79244557
what was bad about her? i thought she was pretty solid

>>79244688
>>79244557
I don't know that it's the actor so much as the writing... The books aint no literary masterpieces but they have better dialogue than the show imo. Also the whole earth/mars relationship is much more adversarial to begin with in the show, I mean they're still rivals in the books and things get worse after the Cant blows up and everybody's blaming everybody else but the show makes them seem very adversarial towards each other from the start which the book did not imo so that might be why they're making her an ultra nationalist since the show has pretty much already set the theme that martians are very anti earth/pro mars.

Why does sci-fi fill outer space with third worlders from countries that are literally stone age shitholes today?

Do they think Space will be colonized by 70-80 iq animals?

>>79245050
better than having them on earth. i'm guessing they finally came to that logical conclusion

>>79245050
Cause earth gets it's shit together by then so everyone gets to go into space.

Because rent on earth is expensive, and working in space is cheap.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>79246034
Syfy is butthurt that no one is watching their channel so fuck everyone.

>>79246260
I think they are just trying to find a way to pay for the big budget of this show. You can still get it on Amazon but you have to pay per-episode (or buy whole season).

>>79245050
Look at what kind of people historically colonize new lands. It ain't the best and the brightest folks with a lot to lose. It's people from walks of life so shitty that venturing out into the unknown doesn't seems so bad by comparison.

>>79245344
>>79245757
Doesn't seem like more commercials than anything else on TV, probably just feels that way because they limited them last week for the premiere.

>>79245883
Want a spoiler?

They don't need to steal it. Fred Johnson's the one building it, he just repurposes it and tells the Mormons he'll pay em back later.

>>79245378
Commercials really hurt a complicated show like this, much more than a sitcom or something. I wish it was on HBO or another commercial-free platform. I guess it's $3 an ep on Amazon, might be worth it.

Poor people were drawn to space for the work opportunities. Most of earth's population doesn't even work anymore at this point and basically unless you're a scientist there is no work for you, low skilled labor jobs only exist in space where everything hasn't been automated yet.

I actually think they are doing space maneuvering reasonably well. I can't really remember the last science fiction movie/show I watched that regularly showed RCS thrusters. Most just show the vessel flying in and then cut away to the immediate docking process/clamping.

liked the first season (kinda), at least enough for me to stick around for a season 2.

But the season so far is less than desirable, the bland monologues with too much sentiment and not enough plot importance, makes the show seem to be meandering at times and not grounded in good storytelling. That being said, there are times when this show shines simply because no one else is doing the space opera genre and the topics raised are occasionally thought provoking and interesting.

Just imagine if HBO or another solid financier would get behind a well done space opera with solid writing that instead of trying to pander, it would instead try to tell its own story.

A bunch of good looking people that would never be in space with chic haircuts and weak scripts. None of it is convincing and it just comes across as a space ABC Family show.

>>79244994

>>79247304
>good looking people can't travel to space

>>79247474
Come on, don't be daft. I never said they couldn't, I said they wouldn't. It makes it hard to believe the story.

because in reality is outer space is fucking dangerous and expensive as fuck. Only poor people would actually move that far away and LIVE there.

>>79247545
Are these really good looking people?

Julie is hot, but she a rich earth girl who go belter nationalist to be cool.


Holden was written as a good looking guy who everyone wanted to punch.

I can't think of a girl and go "damn she hot" in this series outside of the blonde who died in the first episode. I found the greek hot from season 1 (Miller old partner) but I would not call her a classic beauty.

I would say the lack of a good looking woman is hurting the series. Even Dark Matter has Five.

>>79247805
It should make sense in the context of the world.

It would be nice if the earth scenes have gorgeous looking women and as you progress through deeper space the more women begin looking average and the outer solar systems would have the ugliest.

>>79248094

He shot the guy because he would make sense to people that would judge him and belters deaths would go unanswered.

>>79248094

Because what the guy was saying would bring him to a bargaining table, and someone would cut a deal because his work was "too valuable". And he would get away with it.

>>79248087
>>79248115
Nice cherrypicking. I've worked in the merchant marine for six years and I've never seen anyone like that.

>>79248094
Because he would have tried pulling Eros again, but next time it would Ceres or Ganymede instead and everyone would have agreed that he should get to do it.

>>79248145
google "Commercial Fisherwoman"

3rd and 5th pic

>>79248094

In the books he goes on a rant basically saying people in power need a person like this.

The book argument spelled it out more clearly why he did it but the idea is essentially the same, instead of getting justice, people would agree with him and not only would he get away with it but they would spur his work on.

He's space mengele.

He figured out aliens shot a bio weapon towards the earth but it missed and got stuck on another inlet world in the system and they found it and are trying to turn it to their purpose.

If humanity controls it, will it make us like gods that fired it at us kind of thing. Prometheus stealing fire of gods etc etc.

>>79248211
have the aliens made an appearance in the books yet?

i think once this season is finished i'm going to start reading them

>>79248195
Let me tell you how this works - women like that are poster material for magazines and feel good articles that women can do all these jobs men can do, and they can, just very badly and then they quit. So beyond these glamor pictures, they don't exist in the industry and they won't in the future version of shipping either. My point is that it's stupid seeing hot women on the frontier of space which would be the modern day equivalent of a Liberian ship falling apart and crewed by Filipinos. Just ain't gonna happen and makes it less believable for me.

>>79248252

Besides criminal lack of julie this season so far, its just a totem that he thinks connects him to julie's tulpa, or however he misunderstands her connection to her because at moment in series he thinks she's dead. In a way he is very mistaken.

>>79248280
Well aware how it works, owned 1/8th of a fishing vessel before it was bought out to reduce a fleet.

lets say 1/10 woman are hot. In these jobs it will be 1/15 or 1/20. My ships cook was a solid 7, and so was a girl who worked every summer (daughter of another co-owner.)

I was being a bit pushy as woman really don't work much in commercial fishing, but when you are taking less physical labor, you will find plenty of decent looking woman.

Fair point. I've only seen two chicks during my time on unlimited ships come to think of it. Got any pics of the cook?

i really want to see more of the martian government's perspective. why didn't they respond to Deimos? what are their options? do they have any spy operations in the works?

No worries on the spoiler, I could have guessed she was "dead" but we would see more of her. It seems the proto-molecule evolves people or something.

>>79248610
yea i dont know why they haven't shown anything about the martian government. lack of time i guess to fit it in? it's all just earth government stuff

>>79248724
Nitpicking but I really hated the way they introduced and portrayed that bald Martien Lieutenant. Totally bland and all the first shots of him were from a distance. Maybe he doesn't matter and that's why, I don't know, but it was bugging me.

>>79248672

the books only show a few perspectives and most of the stuff you want to know about the wider universe is told through news stories and are brief. The books are really bad at world building.

>>79248801
Imagine though if they had a Mars government subplot as well as an Earth government subplot. I think it's less to do with budget and more to do with that's too much government intrigue for one show.

>>79248796

T H I Q Q

>>79248934
Blond, nordic, Dad was Norwegian. a bit stocky in build.

And yes, most female cooks are sluts. This one wasn't. But she would buy porn mags for the guys.

After the fleet was shrunk she ended up as a bartender and then married a accountant.

>>79249114
Nice, dude. I'll post an email if you'd be cool sending some pics of her lol. Always got a curiosity for chicks that would want to work on a ship.

>>79249202
Well I am headed to bed. Most likely I won't send it as it just seems uncool to do to a rather cool girl.

>>79249114
Btw, do you still work on fishing boats? How did you get into it?

is it ever mentioned how much that mormon ship costs to build?

>>79249346
No longer in it. I actually mostly worked dockside and provisioned ships with parts and food and then used my money to start buying into the ships.

To make the fleet more profitable, there was a "buyout" of ships and out of 4 ships, 2 where bought out, and a 3rd was sold to another company.

I took the money I earned and went into real estate to avoid capital gains, the market collapsed, and now I am still underwater on the condo's I invested in. Such is life.

I get that Holden is the moral center of the series and shit, and that's fine. But I fucking hate his "these people are relying on me, I'm the captain, I have responsibilities" act. He never acts like a leader, never asserts himself or shows that he has better decision making or critical thinking capacities than anyone else.

Maybe its just his shrieking when he doesn't get his way, I don't know.

Those are supposed to be powered suits of armour so any objection to female front line combat troops goes away - same as with the exo-skeletons in Edge of Tomorrow. Once all size/shape of bodytypes can carry that minimum-required amount of weight they'll be allowed in.

Women don't make into the west's current volunteer armies combat infantry units because even the fittest of them struggle with the minimum fitness and strength requirements. To put it in further perspective 85% of men won't make it either, even after training themselves up. It's a hard job requiring a weird mix of extreme aerobic fitness and enough strength to haul your own bodyweight + 30kg more of gear around. When most infantry leave the army their knees and lower backs are pretty much fucked for the rest of their lives from carrying so much weight around for hours at a time.

When power-assisted exo-skeletons finally get developed though pretty much anyone with the will can become proper professional infantrypeeps.

>>79250203
the reason why women aren't and haven't been soldiers isn't just physical inferiority, the physical inferiority is simply the most obvious and verifiable difference that stems from deeper, fundamental differences.

women are not psychologically suited for combat the way that men are. just because you can make a woman as strong as a man doesn't mean you can make her a good soldier. and even if you could make women good soldiers at the same rate as men, would that be beneficial for your society?

>>79250376

>>79250285
As mentioned previously in Expanse threads nobody said it was set to full power. It was just a trope sci-fi scene to demonstrate her strength.

Should note the servos and hydraulics running the joints don't have to super walll-crushingly powerful either - they'd have to be 2-3x bigger that what we see in the show - they've just got to be strong enough to support and assist the users' muscle power and stop the skeletal system from breaking under the strain.

Bullshit. It's just physical requirements that prevent them. The argument your spouting comes from that old 1950s 'merkin homemaker ideal - that women should see themselves as being to precious to risk in war.

We've got far too many examples from history (and currently in Syria with the Kurdish womens combat groups) where women can and will and do fight when required.

The major thing about the woman units that work are that they are all woman units, and are placed as light infantry.

It much easier for a woman for example to drag another woman then a man. Secondly they are tasked with specific missions that suit them. (non-mobile defensive fighting where you just need to keep weapons loaded and laying down good fire.)

>>79250509
The fact that they are expanding the role of the other girl is a sign they at least have hope to get to the 3rd and 4th book.

But he isn't developing or anything. While he was interviewing the prisoner near the end and was actively dripping contempt, that didn't even make sense for the character.

It really wouldn't be so bad if the other characters didn't constantly refer to him as captain and boss, because he really doesn't do shit.

And the weird thing is, I liked him in the first episode, where he's completely ambivalent about his job and ultimately rises to the task. Now he just whines and sneers at everyone.

>>79250811

it does make sense because he ends up emulating miller and agreeing, so much so that the little hypocritical shit calls him "a good man" at end of the first book.

We just have knowledge that show watchers don't. Not only does Holden end up agreeing with miller, he ends up trying to be miller 2, electric boogaloo.

He's playing him really well though, it's not the actor you're mad at, it's Holden.

Holden makes everyone who has met him or has to deal with him mad, even his crew. The only people that like him are people that read his social media posts and worship his causes.

He's literally the worst kind of eceleb though he makes a decent kind of a captain too.

No he doesn't, he confiscates it because he and everyone believes that humanity's survival depends on it. Legally speaking it's some sort of nationalised asset and he never has to pay them back. Even after he recovers, salvages and restores it, it's still his.

That's basically right, though he was also raised by anti-establishment free-love back-to-nature hippies as well, he rebelled a bit but he's still probably a few steps further left than most SJWs though he's only a SJW because he has to be. Until they nuked all his friends, he just wanted to be an officer in a cushy job with limited responsibility and bang hot chicks.

Why does miller want to fuck everything up ?

>>79252396
>you're pushing past your inertia not the objects
You are the object. The reason I said deck handles is that you need something to grip to stop yourself flying away. Push against the handles but don't release them, pull back on them, repeat.

You're still moving 100kg of mass, the force required depends on the acceleration.

Elastic trainers is a good idea too though and they have 'gravity' any time they're under thrust which is most of the time before and after flip&burn.
