I'm really tempted to watch it, but I don't want to start another series that will probably get cancelled. It is SyFy afterall. How are the ratings for it so far? Any chance of it actually having a decent run?

High?

I unironically love that this show has mormons as a faction.

>>63893024
I watched the first 4 episodes on the website and started this thread to shill for the show so people will watch it online without adblock. I really want at least a few seasons of this because of how great it is so far.

This time around they've said they won't judge it based on viewer count. It will be judged on DVD sales.

Not sure if that's better or worse really.

lmao syfy can't afford to do that
Anyone else here read the books and looking forward toMiller and Holden fighting their way through Eros zombie outbreak?
>>63894183
Yeah, I'm getting the latest book for christmas so I haven't read all of them yet but that should be damn good.
>>63894183
I hope they focus on practical effects. See this for reasoning >>63893887
>>63892057
How the fuck did they not obliterate all the attackers with such huge-ass railguns? Unless I got a completely wrong impression that gun seems to be nearly a third the size of the attacking ships.
>>63894522
I think they were able to latch onto the ship before all of them were able to be destroyed
>>63894522
maneuverability.
>>63894595
Yeah that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Was just surprised by the sheer size of that thing, never really got a good look at it in the episode.
For someone that hasn't read the books: do the Martians rely heavily on automation and thus have relatively small crews? Or were the attackers able to overtake the Donnager through tech superiority? Because judging by relative size at first glance I'd imagine a ship of the Donnager's size to carry more people than all the attacking ships combined.
I want a game that I can play as a mars soldier in that cool armour.
>>63894792
I want a good game that focuses on relatively low tech space battles.
>>63894770
I also haven't read the books but I my guess on that was a lot of the crew died from decompression caused by the rail gun hits
>>63894770
I don't remember from the books but I believe 90% of the weapons fire & defense in battle is based on automation. There are still ways to change the outcome of a battle but superior tech gives you a huge advantage.
>>63894792
I can't wait until we get to see some power armor.
>>63894770
>>63894945
Weapon system are pretty much all computer controlled. From what I remember Mars has neither the numbers or the raw strength to take Earth in a fight so they rely on their superior tech to win. Hence the stealth(-ish) ships and power armor.
>>63894886
yeah that might be an explanation
>>63894945
was just wondering because the one time we actually see Martian marines fight during the boarding action they seem to able to hold themselves quite well, indicating either a somewhat equal tech level or a stark contrast in training. Was just wondering if I am severly misjudging the crew sizes of the combatants involved or if there's another reason the Donnager got overrun pretty easily after it was boarded.

I can't even get it to load whatever crappy player they are using.
>>63897804
Works fine for me. Takes about 30-40 seconds to load. Can't download it using Ant. FlashGot picks it up, but it is all streamy shit pieces. FRAPS works perfect with it of course. I just fucking went to KAT/TPB and got it all.
>>63897613
SyFy finally has a great show and they are panicking because they don't know how to market it.
Let's hope they stick to their guns and rely on DVD sales like was planned.
>>63897976
>Yarrrr
Yeah, that's just what I ended up doing. I saw ep 1 and 2 on TV and I'll end up picking the eventual blu-ray up just because I'm a consumer whore so they'll still get my money eventually.

>>63890899
Wow this show sure dropped all pretense of hard sci fi fucking quick.
Do we really need another carbon copy of battlestar galactica?
>>63898214
It's for fedoras, by fedoras, starring fedoras.
It's everything they want. You can't have real science in a show like that. Making them actually think would just aggravate them.
>>63898214
What gave you the impression of hard sci-fi? You havent read the booksthey aren't hard sci-fi either
>>63898133
Sad thing is their online access is shit and there's been like 400k people pirate it for the first episode. Who will not be on the list that counts for viewers.

The show hasn't had any hard sci-fi in it really.

You're one of those kids that wanted to study to become a scientist but couldn't make the cut.

There is. Look up the term.
>>63898390
Correct. There's a few things but it is mostly just jargon. Nothing close to say E. E. "Doc" Smith level of sci-fi, let alone anything Hard sci-fi other than just Apple tech demo shit. The science for the space travel is shitty at best. Babby's first slide rule.
>>63898390
It has better science than most shows while remaining watchable. It will never be enough for autists of course.
>>63898493
Bad science in movies is just a smack in the face to people that know it. It really lets you know they don't really care or give a shit for 5 mins of high school level research.
>>63898493
I've seen cartoons with more attention to science.
Why are you reluctant to admit it's just more shit for the general masses? Because that means you're just another random jackass?
Larry Niven wrote circles around this shit 30 years ago. This is nothing new or interesting. Just very worn ground.

You receiving a smack in the face, is of course a terrible thing.

Oh wait gotta have a sex scene what i just typed was too long for the average expanse viewer. Okay? Still with me?
-actually watch garbage like this. It's just like Don Marquis said: If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you. But if you actually make them think, they'll hate you for it"
>>63898713
Oh so you're fine with seeing an ancient stereotype of a story, as long as it has pretty graphics and jingling keys?
Pathetic. Go watch UFC. Clearly science fiction is not for you.

So we should all stop watching this so Syfy will go back to showing WWE and making Sharknado 18: this time the CGI sharks shit hail?

The expanse is geared towards those demographics already. It wouldn't change a thing.
The expanse is only for people who want to think they're thinking. It's junk to anyone else.
>>63898721
>Oh wait gotta have a sex scene what i just typed was too long for the average expanse viewer. Okay? Still with me?
There's been a grand total on one sex scene in four episodes. A sex scene that establishes Holden's relationship with the navigator and shows how gravity is implemented.
Does it make you feel icky when two people touch each other?
>>63898768
>stereotype
I'll assume you meant archetype Mr Scientist.
I just want something to engage my mind. Something actually new and refreshing and complicated as fuck with some semblance of being correct, at least in its own universe.
The best I can hope for it to do real science and tech in my own home. I guess I'll tinker with my bread board until the next show comes out so I can bitch about it too.
>>63898961
>There's been a grand total on one sex scene in four episodes. A sex scene that establishes Holden's relationship with the navigator and shows how gravity is implemented.
>Does it make you feel icky when two people touch each other?
There are far better ways to show that two characters are in deep with each other and very easy ways to show how gravity is handled. Sex is fine, but god damn they always just shoehorn it in for ratings and it is always pathetic.
>>63898961
>There's been a grand total on one sex scene in four episodes. A sex scene that establishes Holden's relationship with the navigator and shows how gravity is implemented.
And they just happened to stick it right at the ten minute mark when most people would tune out. It's the same lowbrow entertainment as game of thrones. "our audience is too stupid to handle exposition, so we must hold their audience with sex and violence"
This isn't science fiction. It's just junk television.
>>63899030
The target audience cannot understand anything. They had to fucking mention that water is rare in the asteroid belt and that ceres is in the asteroid belt. What's next?

He's clearly just a 'I am very smart person'. That why he doesn't have a job or a girlfriend. Cos he's too smart for them.

Just the act of reading stimulates the cognitive regions of the brain more than It makes your brain physically changes to make you smarter. Hell, trolling 4chan probably makes your brain smarter simply because you have to read.
TV does not do that at all. It actually puts your body into more of a state similar to dreaming.
>>63901318

>TV does not do that at all. It actually puts your body into more of a state similar to dreaming.
So you finally admit that you don't like any TV whatsoever. Aren't we done here? Isn't it pointless to discuss TV shows with you?
>>63901214
How can you call starwars highbrow? Which was your favorite? The podracing scene in episode 1?

One of the Donnager's bridge crew commented that the raiders' missiles were dodging the PDCs - presume they can manoeuvre those smalls ships quickly enough in order to dodge the Donnager's railguns and get in range to launch those boarding pods.

Don't really understand why there's hate towards this. Not all shows are going to be Star trek philosophicaly styled or fleshed out. Some are better this way. I think it's alright for this kind of show to have sex scenes or nude scenes. Don't really ruin the show too much. As long as they don't start a love triangle between Burton, Naomi and Holden.
>>63902285
Nude scenes only exist to bring in the lowest of common denominators.

Hope anon, h-he just passed out man.
>>63902392
He's combination of two characters from the books. He appears to have lived long enough to give the command codes for the Tachi (soon to be Rociante) to Holden and co. so perhaps your doomfaggotry is well placed.
>>63902392According to IMDB he's on for 4eps in total, and he's only been in 2 so far.
>>63902437
Porn has always been a part of sci-fi: from the earliest covers featuring scantily-clad babes on strange planets, to Ripley's panty shots while avoiding the Alien.
The only people who'd think otherwise are Space Mormons, Republicans, and Americans in general.
>>63901069
Films like Gravity, 2001, or Moon are far better.
>>63902333
And why is that a problem? If some titties can triple your audience size that increases the audience size. And the show is less likely to be canceled.
>>63902705
Not the guy you replied to but what about after watching these films? Should I just rewatch them and old movies until new ones come out?
I could just alternatively just watch some sci-fi shows I like moderately, even if they don't press me to think for myself all the time, right?

>>63892057
All it needs now is mecha and we got Gundam.
>>63902285
the problem is that syfy cant show actual nudity, so their attempts to tease at it with pg-13 sex scenes arent going to work and should just be left on the cutting room floor
>>63902705
gravity and 2001 but moon? moon was so meh.
>>63902649
>Porn
That's not porn though.
>>63903056
That is an issue I'll admit that but I think it might actually work a bit, hopefully enough to keep it going for a season. I think I can endure 10 seconds of pg-13 nudity for a season or two of a show.
>>63903255
It's soft-core. A lot of the 60s-70s sci-fi books did contain hardcore sex scenes. Often hilarious ones if it was Herbert or Heinlein. Then there's the endless Alien ripoffs like Inseminoid which pretty much spawned all the anime obsession with tentacle-rape.

Be brave, anon. Be brave.

No wonder you think it is okay to have in TV shows..

Not that guy, but the lack of fighters really excites my hard sci fi boner.
>>63903256
Except he has to watch it with his mom. It makes him uncomfortable when she asks him why he doesn't bring a gf home.

>Any of you guys have any character you're fond of ? I'm liking miller so far, despite the fedora.
See the picture? Read it you halfwit.
>>63903534
The attackers were clearly using drones and the Tachi is intended to be used as an escort ship.The martians were just too complacent to make use of it
>>63903083
Gravity was a simpsons episode. Moon wasn't bad but the plot was retarded. Helium 3 mining on the moon? at 50ppb? Don't make me laugh.
Interstellar and the martian were also completely unrealistic garbage for morons.
>>63903539
>all this projection.
>>63903794
Season 5 Simpsons I assume.
>>63903457
I'm pretty sure it could take an Earth ship.
>>63904110
It's the fucking flagship of the MCRN, the best ship it has. If this one ship can decimate it, then whoever this is has some serious tech
>>63904110
it can't even hang with a handful of black shuttlecraft
>>63904141
Probably a PROTOtype ship ;^)
>>63904141
A large battleship, almost 500 meters long and weighing approximately 250 000 tons. Square and blocky, with small bulbous projections in seemingly random places, and designed for long periods at high g, it was built in the "office tower" configuration: each deck one floor of the building, ladders or elevators running down the axis. Constant thrust took the place of gravity. At nearly five hundred meters long, it was the size of a 130-story building. She had four main engines and several vessels stationed, such as the Tachi.
>>63904053
Gravity was just like the episode where homer went into space. Interstellar is quantum love and innacurate black hole. The Martian's plot depends on winds that don't exist on Mars and the ship was more retarded than the one sarah palin had in Iron Sky.
But they make people think they're thinking, so general audiences loved them.
>>63904372
>But they make people think they're thinking,
Oh, God. Not again...
>>63904141
So how badly does this hurt the martians' overall fleet strength? do they have a whole fleet of slightly less impressive ships that can step up or are they fucked without their super duper flagship?
>>63904424
You don't know who Don Marquis is, do you?
>>63904430
>So how badly does this hurt the martians' overall fleet strength? do they have a whole fleet of slightly less impressive ships that can step up or are they fucked without their super duper flagship?
They've got plenty of ships but fewer than Earth.The real question is whether they're gonna lose their shit and blame Earth for the loss.
>>63904430
They've still got the tech advantage - so Earth's not going to be invading and retaking Mars any time soon.
>>63904485
>You don't know who Don Marquis is, do you?
No, I don't.
>>63904430
The Martian navy fleet is better than the Earth oneIn the books Earth wanted reclaim Mars but since Mars got more advanced ships they couldn't and therefore they've formed an alliance
>>63904570
He's the origin of that quote. Look him up. It's not right that history has forgotten him.
>>63904577
Always figured there's an Arthur C. Clarke 'Earthlight'-type story in the Martian history books regards how they broke away from the UN in the first place.
>>63904517
>>63904577
Wait when did we start talking about babylon 5?
Or is this really just another "earth/mars/whoever civil war" story?
>>63904651
At the moment I feel like pissing on his grave, Sorry.
>>63904740
Jealous that someone remembers him after a century but nobody will remember you in a century?
An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.
>>63904430
They have other Donnager-class vessels.
>>63904695
>Or is this really just another "earth/mars/whoever civil war" story?
It's not a civil war; they're already separate states.
>>63904695
Not directly. There are some conflicts between the the factions but they are always due to misunderstandings orspace terrorists
>>63904819
>Jealous that someone remembers him after a century but nobody will remember you in a century?

Is arguing against yourself a symptom of Autism?
You don't get to derail the thread then hand out a reading list.
>>63904862
I thought there were no laws on ceres? Doesn't that mean any military action on their part is just terrorism? Mars probably can't have legal sovereignty either.
>>63904936
His words can still be found even if only a few people know where to look.
Yours will be gone when this thread deletes itself. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
>>63904960
Ceres is under Earth's control. It's just that they use rent-a-cops to enforce the law.
>>63904960
its all explained in the first 5 minutes of the first episode
>>63905378
Oh i couldn't keep up with all that. i zoned out until i saw the naked chick, then i knew the show was good.
>>63905456
me too anon, i had to rewatch it :^)
A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.
>>63905456
I like your style anon.
>>63905610
Wow, I never watched Enterprise but if those were the uniforms I think I will have to check it out. I am suprise they didn't go for the exposed midriff on 7 of 9
>>63905706
It was only one or two episodes in the mirror universe.
The show would have lasted longer if they pandered to the WWE fans more like the expanse does.
Why is it called the expanse?Because it's fucking vacuous.
>>63905744
Strange that such a patrician individual as yourself would remember that (or even be watching Enterprise)
>>63905821
I liked trek a lot more a decade ago when i was in my 20's and stupid like everyone in their 20's. I only know about that episode from the star trek threads here on /tv/
>>63894183
Really looking forward to that part of the book!You can't have the razor back.I'll be sad when we get to the end run though...
>>63905744
I don't know. SGU tried the sexy drama love triangle touchy feely dark thing. That flopped hard.
>>63905913
>when i was in my 20's and stupid like everyone in their 20's
Was that before you read Dos Equis and achieved enlightenment?
Anyone feel sad seeing actors you knew falling so low as to be in a Syfy show? I mean sure it's a very high budget Syfy show but still seems like a step down.
>tfw David Robert Jones has to fake having some shit Belter accent that keeps dropping every line.
