I liked that she straight called Errinwright out for being involved in her friend's assassination back in s1, while having a high level diplomatic summit

>>80884333

I was annoyed by this character and actor a little all the way up until this line.

Now I like her.

>>80884333

Is she going to die? I mean the actress. That can't be healthy.

>>80884164
>>80884333

Her voice is so bad that I literally had to stop watching the show purely because of her. Her voice is horrible, I honestly can't listen to it.

How did season 2 go? Did the Irish guy die yet? Did they find that girl?

Shit man I was enjoying that show.

>>80884333
she's amazing.

I love her

>>80884164

Does she even know english or is she just repeating the sentences phonetically ?

Seriously can't hear what she says half the time, her pronounciation is all over the place.

I hope they do a crossover episode with The Magicians sometime.

>when she blurts out "WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT"

daaaym that voice tho, it's a selling point in itself

>>80886984

That's because you're a flimsy beta and the idea of someone powerful who knows their rights and what they're entitled to flatly shoots down someone who is attempting to interfere makes you uncomfortable

She was absolutely right. What she was asking was trivial (if they had nothing to hide) and they were there to accomplish something far grander and more important. Stopping her from having a chat with a material witness is either baseless, or suspicious.

>>80887015
yes. nothing comes close

she sounds so cute as lakshmi in destiny

>>80887136

she dresses ostentatiously because she can, because she comes from a proud tradition and is a member of a political dynasty dating back to her father's time or before

on a planet of 30 billion, she is in the top 5 of the succession of Earth government, jewel of the system. She stands out in every way, including dress, because she is a singular person.

No, it's poor writing. She was in a room full of accomplished politicians and bureaucrats. They already knew they were hiding shit from each other, this is what they do. Like you say, they were there to try to stop a war from starting, they were censoring Bobby because they wanted her to lie to help with that goal. Letting her get interrogated could have been bad for that goal. Yet they guy caves after she called him out on his pride? That is such bullshit, the guy should have taken the dis and ran with it. Especially since he knew and and should have been prepared for her hypocritical snipes.

this show is really starting to drag

>>80887270
She dressed like a minority so that people don't call her out on her blatant abuse of privilege. She is a pure politician, without honour, pride or mercy.

>>80893475
Beurocrats outlast politicians so agree has had longer to build up political capital. While she isn't the most powerful on paper she has enough leverage to fuck anyone over if she wanted to.

Mars and Belters should join forces

Okay I have a plot complaint. Doesn't it see super-obvious that Mars is taking responsibility for the Ganymede incident and giving Earth everything they want because they don't want Earth to know what they were really doing there? And wouldn't that be super-obvious to the Earth government as well? Considering that Mars has a superior military and could just tell them to fuck themselves, they had no need to take responsibility.

FUckk belters!!!IF YOUR NOT MARTIAN YOU BELONG TO REDDIT..... 1g is a shit meme force........day of the nuke is coming..!....

>>80905205
It's been repeatedly mentioned that earth is the stronger force;Mars simply has more advanced tech.By taking responsibly they hoped to bury any further investigations or tensions while they use Bobbos information to their benefit.

No, they just have some more advanced tech. They where saying before getting to earth they the really didn't want a war. Sure they might have just been lying to bobby it would be inconsistant from a narrative point of view because they make the UN guys motivations clear when the protogen guy puppet him.

>>80905537
Right, I get that they're trying to bury further investigation. My point is that Earth would get that too.

>>80905205
>>80905662
Of course Earth gets what Mars is doing. The point is that they don't want a war, so why push this issue further? They are being given a publicity win, which is as good as they are going to get short of going to war and winning there, which they don't want to do, yet. Ganymede was a neutral place that neither side really gives a shit about, and only the Belters get fucked by it being destroyed. So in other words, a war isn't worth starting over it. Everything they do because of it is just pr.

>>80906814
Okay fair enough. I guess calling them on it wouldn't get them very far since Mars would just deny everything.

Her role is to assist the Undersecretary (Errinwright). The gray haired guy Errinwright was on the phone with, the one you've seen in the meeting room scenes a few eps back is the Secretary-General. He's the leader, Errinwright is second.

But both are temporary positions. Politicians come and go when re-elected or not. Avasarala however isn't elected. On paper she might not have a lot of power but as a Deputy Undersecretary she is granted the same acting rights as the Undersecretary, and thát together with her fixed position makes her quite powerful.

How does Mars escape the problem of automation and technology killing 90% of jobs, since they're looking down on Earth for having a large unemployed population? Is every single Martian a doctor/scientist/engineer/soldier/etc who all manage to find employment or are the lower class sold into slave labor?

What the fuck is this woman's accent even? I understand from the name she's supposed to be Indian or Pakistani maybe, but I saw this actress play South America with the same accent.

Technology doesn't completely destroy jobs, it simply transfers them with more complex tasks. A place like Mars where everyone is living in unnatural eco bubbles is going to require around the clock maintenance just so people don't instantly die. Think of life on a ship and multiply it by 100

>>80919045

>>80918564
Judging by what we saw on Ceres, this universe is not very good at automating mechanical task like life support. The same way they need to shove human operators into power armour and warships. Martians probably run around fixing pipes in their domes that robots can't fix and Earthers don't need.

>>80910902
Yes, what happened to it. They tried to ram it into Eros, and it was never heard from again, despite it just flying away.

>>80919066
Why do people keep thinking this way? When we get automated cars and trucks on the road, we're going to lose tens of thousands of jobs. Those drivers are not going to be qualified to do some sort of technological work or maintenance work with these automated vehicles. Please refrain from posting on this board unless you have something intelligent to say, cuck.

>>80919201

Automated cars and trucks doesn't mean there won't be a driver. Planes have more or less been automated for years yet those still have the same sized crew. Saying that an automated vehicle will function 100 percent of the time is like saying that your PC never froze or had a program glitch of any kind

>>80919066
Let's say you automate a factory with 1000 employees in it. This won't lead to the creation of 1000 jobs (that would require higher qualification and higher pay than your average factory worker) because in that case there would be 0 incentive for the owner of the factory to go with automation, since it would be more expensive

You might be right about there being an abundance of work on a place like Mars though

>>80919280
But that's wrong though. Planes don't take off and land by themselves, you need a pilot for that aspect of it. I never said that vehicles won't have a malfunction but the guy who used to drive it isn't going to be the one to repair it. And you better believe that no respectable, successful company is going to keep these drivers on their payroll hanging out in their trucks just in case a glitch happens.

>>80919066

don't forget also that mars also has a fascist government that forces people to work

>>80919332

>>80919353

When you factor in the cost of insurance and potential public outcry when something eventually does happen you bet there will be people in those trucks. The industry will probably change to more trucks making shorter trips to cargo hubs where the container is changed out to another truck with a fresh driver but the trucker isn't going to disappear

>>80918564

they said conscription is compulsory

a large portion of them could be military, which is just welfare of another flavor

>>80919469
That's just conjecture, you've got no evidence that that shit is going to happen. On the other hand, we can look at how automation has affected job markets in the past and come to my conclusion.

>>80918564
Mars has a fraction of the population of Earth yet a similar if not more advanced economy, a slightly smaller military and a planet wide engineering project.

Its not like they have a youth unemployment issue either if everyone is off doing military service.

>>80919387

i even worked in a chocolate bar factory that ran 24 hours/day

>>80919510

You aren't factoring in globalization. We don't live in pre-WWII economic bubbles anymore. The human jobs didn't disappear, they simply got shipped off to Mexico

>>80919469
Insurance will end up being cheaper for bots as they are nor prone to human error. Less accidents will happen. No-one will be able to compete who does not use self-drive. Real jobs for real people emp the bots ai war now

>>80919581

But a chocolate bar factory CAN shut down, the market is dictating that it doesn't.

You have to think of everything you take for granted, any interconnected system that is responsible for maintaining the air, water, heat, food that we all take for granted is going to require an army of engineers and technicians to keep it running as humans simply can't shut down the need for oxygen because the machine recycling it happened to break down

Isn't Ganymede far as fuck from the Belt? Seems odd it would be the place of choice to supply the Belt with food etc, but I guess there might not be any better options (I know about the radiation etc)

>>80919718

we haven't seen self drive done en masse yet. The Tesla accident proved that robots are terrible at adapting to conditions outside its program parameters. Unless bot- truckers get their own dedicated highways, accidents will happen and the human at the wheel will continue to be a thing

>>80913587
This annoys the shit out of me too. The entire casting side fucked up by choosing her but she could've at least thought 'well shit I'm playing a marine in my first tv role, I had better get in shape'.

It is something that I've definitely noticed getting more and more common with actors over the past 10 years.

>>80916327
Goddamn I love Drummer.

>>80919878
No you are dangerously wrong. Ultimately far less accisents will happen once self-drive comes into full swing. It will become the norm, you will pay a massive insurance premium to manual drive. This will be so. Companies will not have a choice, financially. Millions of jobs will disappear in a decade. Destroy.it.now.

>>80892601

>>80897444
She knows this too. What got here interested was the "7th man wasn't wearing a vacsuit" thing. She's not trying to jeopardize the peace talks, she suspects the martians might be overlooking something too.

>>80919995

You pay the massive insurance cost for putting several tonnes of metal and cargo going 60 plus miles an hours next to other people. Really the only people who benefit the most from self drives will be large conglomerates who will turn the industry into something akin to rail but on the highway. Self drives will never be fully independent the same way ships, trains and airplanes still have people at the helm but the driver will end up taking more relaxing trips for shorter distances for less pay, replacing the system of methheads on the road who get paid per mile driven that we have now

>>80919753
This, but that's just part of it. I would imagine TERRAFORMING AN ENTIRE GODDAMN PLANET could always use some helping hands.

>>80919760
Ganymede is in the Jupiter system. It sustains the other moons first and foremost. It was also the only stable ecosystem in the outer system - aka it could survive without needing replenishment of various organic substances. Your average inhabited station or asteroid grows its own food, but gradually suffers all kinds of losses. Ganymede is where you turn to buy soybeans when your crops die due to a lamp failure and there isn't enough nitrated soil left in the backup hold.

So when is Amos going to violently rape him?

I really want to like this show but the acting and casting is just so bad. I think OP lady is too over the top. I would be able to deal with her voice but the unrealistic ranting combined with the voice are just too much.

Fucking Holden is another story. The dude looks like everything everyone makes fun of Jon Snow for magnified by a thousand. Stupid mouth breathing, expressionless, amateur.

A bunch of the other actors are lame too, especially on the Rocinante, but I really wouldn't be complaining if it weren't for those two.

Bros can be bros. Alex and Amos are both bros with Holden.
But with each other they also have something called sexual tension. It can lead to blue balls, it's all I'm saying. Why not resolve it and who know maybe they'll just find happiness? Yes, they're an unlikely pair, which is what's so brilliant about it. They're balancing each other out, making up for the others' weaknesses with their own strengths.

Unless I'm wrong, according to this pic, shouldn't the Roci be accelerating constantly to keep everyone on their feet? Isn't that incredibly inconvenient for space travel?

>>80932861
The engine allows for constant acceleration at minimal fuel use.

>>80932861
>shouldn't the Roci be accelerating constantly to keep everyone on their feet

That is exactly what it is doing, this is explained in one of the first episodes. Accelerate half the journey, then flip the ship and de-accelerate at the same rate the rest of the way

>Isn't that incredibly inconvenient for space travel

That's going to just lead to an even worse counterattack when the Martian empire eventually collapses. If they manage to create a magnetic field, atmosphere and green Mars with the population multiplying it's just going to split into independent states at some point.
>>80935455
Even if they do, lose 10 billion people and Earth could probably manage again. The water isn't going anywhere and technology can create fresh water from salt water already, probably better in the future. Earth has probably the largest amount of easily accessible water in the solar system.

Automation is going to cause enormous social issues, especially if people keep believing you NEED to work in a society where half the jobs we have now are automated and no new ones are created in its place. The last part trips most people up, because they foolishly assume there will be jobs to replace them. We might need more engineers at first to repair our machines, but improved diagnostics and repair bots will also put a damper on that.
