why board marco's ship, rather than just shooting it? and why surrender rather than taking marco with you?
― mookieproof, Sunday, 3 May 2020 20:24 (four years ago) link
i expect he wanted to bring marco in alive to face justice and reap the institutional rewards for it. he’s always been the one saying that belters need to show they respect the rule of law and that’s how they’ll eventually win equal power with the inners.

not through S4 yet so not gonna read end of thread, but we love this. Here are my comments:
made-up accent
check
I expect Avasarala will provide profane fan service once removed from family and immediate superiors, and with her progressive exasperation.
Yes, this has been great
I think I might have blinked and missed the closing shot, but apparently the protomolecule monster has stowed away on the side of the Rocinante.
has been bugging me ever since
envisaging the planet venus sporting a huge hat made of protomolecule tipped at an irritating angle

Just blew through all four seasons of this in the past two weeks. I figured I would like it but I totally loved it. There are very few moments that make me feel like this was filmed in a studio and not in space, the production is great. I'm such a nerd for all the scientific limitations, like ship maneuverability or time delay when receiving information. Sci-fi TV shows usually shy away from technical explanation but they do a good job weaving it in without being too expository imo. Great balance of character development and story. The acting is the only place where this sometimes falls down. Even by S4 the actors for Holden and Alex can't stand up to the better actors on the show though Alex's terrible accent and weird line delivery kind of grew on me
Might read the books next with such a long wait for S5

I did that after a prior season. I think I got into a rhythm and took out every single one over a month!

Appears there are multiple allegations against Cas Anvar being investigated at the moment
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Friday, 26 June 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link
Sounds like:
So one of the core cast of #TheExpanse has been accused of sexual misconduct. We immediately passed these serious accusations onto the studio, Alcon. Alcon has engaged an independent firm to investigate this matter and takes these allegations very seriously.— Daniel Abraham (@AbrahamHanover) June 26, 2020

If it's true, I would invite a recasting tbh

Season 1-3 of #TheExpanse aired episodes weekly while season 4 dropped all at once. Season 5 will be a hybrid! This way we'll have the ability to binge a little but also live tweet and discuss each episode afterwards. 🚀 https://t.co/pMWTeZrpDt— The Expanse Writers (@TheExpanseWR) October 8, 2020

already looks way more promising than s4

I think he's still being investigated so probably being kept well away from PR.

They’ve succeeded in making me mumble “Marco, you shithead” at the screen so they’ve nailed the character so far
― mh, Thursday, 8 October 2020 22:35 (three years ago) link
Hoping they don't hold back on the extreme Earth-based events in the book that are only hinted at there (trying not to spoil for non-book folk)
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Friday, 9 October 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link
I guess they had to get rid of that character to show the ruthlessness of the rising one. It's just a shame it had to be that character cos I liked them.Good ending they had though.

haven't read the books but I'm stoked 4 Amos in Baltimore
― JoeStork, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link
Amos in balitmore is one of my favourite sequences from the books, whereas the Marco inaros stuff is one of the bits I found most tedious. However, the series has fixed the stodgier paced parts of the books.
Stoked for this.
― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Friday, 9 October 2020 21:17 (three years ago) link
Amos in Baltimore is the best (in depth, not necessarily in writing) single character arc and I hope they at least delve into it. As the books progress you get a sense of how he adapts, and what he’s moved through in that adaptation. in short, <3 amos

i'm not able to contain my impatience for this series to start

yeah, when i saw the thread revived i had a moment of joy thinking it was back early
― H in Addis, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:32 (three years ago) link
I'll be curious how they handle the Cas Anvar situation, which erupted after production concluded. He's barely present in S5 promotional material. I wouldn't be surprised if some arrangement where he continues as Alex, but doesn't represent the show at fan conventions, is how it will be handled.
― Advanced Doomscroller (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 18:30 (three years ago) link
I started reading the books because I got tired of waiting. They are fast, easy reads, though I still prefer the show if just for the visuals. Seems I did not start reading soon enough, as I've just finished the book the fourth season is based on, and now we're close enough I can wait for the next season
― Vinnie, Friday, 20 November 2020 01:44 (three years ago) link
I binged all 8 early this year and now have to wait until 2021 for the end.
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Friday, 20 November 2020 06:40 (three years ago) link
Thinking I'm going to rewatch all four seasons in the next few weeks. Also very happy that most of the new season will be released weekly instead of all at once.

it’s basically the same ending as Space Runaway Ideon, right?
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 19:05 (three years ago) link
There's going to be a lot of story compression in season 6, to cover the arc in books 7/8/9. Sure, some scene setting can be done in a B-story of season 5, but if the broadcast series mimics the book timeline, that will be limited.
I want a Drummer spinoff series, focusing on events between seasons 5 and 6.
― Advanced Doomscroller (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 19:09 (three years ago) link
I wish s4 had compressed its A-plot to, like, 3-4 episodes tbh
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 19:50 (three years ago) link
I'm assuming they won't do books 7 to 9 xps
Especially (book spoiler): given the big time jump from book 6 to 7
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 21:45 (three years ago) link
No Cas Anvar in the final season either, guess they are taking the complaints seriously
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 25 November 2020 00:03 (three years ago) link
xp: Makeup on the principals and cobwebs in the corners of the Roci are not expensive, as production costs go. I'd like to see a Drummer spinoff series occupying the interval between seasons 5 and 6.
