You mean the most boring space show, featuring officer "reddit" mcfedora.

Can you please discuss this back on reddit? Thanks

It's not hard when you're the only one. The show is only praised because the genre is in a lull.

when will next seasons air ( both Dark matter and The expanse) ?
>>
I was really impressed how good the show was, but still, couldn't keep myself very much interested in it, having read the books beforehand.

Also, Amos was criminally miscast.
>>
No one is discussing it because it came out at a time when everyone thinks SyFy puts out shitting shows.

It's a great show that will most likely be discussed a lot more once season 2 is about to start and the 1st season is on netflix.

Does Expanse have a girl ninja? You've got to have a female ninja/mary sue these days.

I haven't been watching this but
Did Thomas Jane get killed yet?
>>
>>68057276
it has a afro woman who knows all kind of survival and leadership tricks and advanced in tech

>>68057333
sentenced to death via radiation
but he will probably survive
>>
>>68056498
Oh for fucks sake...this needs to be longer.
Five/Android the natural pairing of the show.
>>
>>68056907
I dunno, he kinda fits the bruiser type.
But i always imagined him a little wider and made of stone.
Then again, from his solo story to the actual story i assume a good ten years might went by.
>>
>>68056435
Like OP I typically wait for a bit after a season is over, then I download the entire season and marathon it. I was def impressed with it.
>>
>>68057333
>>68057503
book spoiler: he lives on as a projection from the protomolecule and only Holden can see him.
>>
>>68057778
Me too, I imagined (still do) him as much bigger (hold the "big guy" jokes, please) and more rough around the edges. The actor in the show is too soft and even kind of baby-faced, not to mention tiny.
>>
>>68057895
>>68057778
I've only watched the show and I thought the actor did a great job because I started out thinking he was some kind of meme badass antihero like Jayne from Firefly, but by the end I understood that he was completely deranged and dysfunctional and in every action he took he was just doing his best to try to act like a facsimile of a human being.
>>
>>68056178
When is season 2 coming?
>>
>>68057963
Good point anon, I guess you kinda exposed my shallowness. My critiques go only as deep as the physical apperance of the actor.
The character itself was quite well played. I'm sure he'll become even more empathazable as we get to know more about his origins (in fact, in the last book, Nemesis Games, he's really the best POV char).

And just FYI, I'm not being ironically agreable on /tv/, I really appreciated your input.

I love everything about the space and sheeeit but the expanse is fucking garbage
>>
>>68061472
did you watched the whole thing?
i find the 'detective noir' thread interesting. and the crew one too. but the politic part, on Earth is boring

Read all of the books. Can someone tell me if the story is a direct copy paste?

I'm unsure what to think about this show overall. Production values were through the roof, detective in space was sweet, it was somewhat hard sci-fi (ignoring the noise and sound in space, obviously) but what really puts it in the 'meh' category for me is the goddamn ending.
Why the fuck would you go almost hard sci-fi and then introduce fucking aliens?
And I've been told that these bastards are some sort of FTL and more wonky shit to arrive, making it less hard sci-fi.

And that Ambassator seems like a good character (she's a good actress) but without knowing her relationships with other people and not enough worldbuilding on earth and mars, there's little to show her importance.

The detective is sweet but once you get a PI out of his city, where he knows everyone and has the most influence (taking him out of his element), he stops being interesting. Weaving in the crowd, his people and connection, is the strong suit of detective noir. Without that, it's boring.
Having him being out of his element will only make him a weak character later on.

So really, the only thing good about The Expanse is the production value.
>>
>>68056409
My father explained it well, concerning which between the Expanse and Dark Matter was the best.
The Expanse is better but Dark Matter is more fun.
>>
>>68056840
Next Season of the Expanse is in 2017,
Next Season of Dark Matter is September.
>>
The expanse is an awful show. Legitimately awful when using metrics to rate all other shows.
>>
>>68062661
The problem with Earth politics is basically that we know hack shit about the politics except for the Ambassador.
And her trick is either
>I'm gonna play this card of blackmail on you or fuck up our relationship for gains
or
>hmmmm what an interesting story, I hope I don't guilt trip you into changing your mind
>>
>>68063731
thanks. thats a lot of waiting til then

Pretty much but they're actual aliens according to the books.
>>

>no one discussing the best space show out there
maybe because we're currently between seasons? /tv/ talked about this show constantly while it was airing.

This. The show is decent but it's a little overhyped because there has been a drought of hard sf show.
Though I do like the Martians with their pragmatic attitude and romantic ideal.

heh.

The bio weapon at the end of the season is a FTL warp drives that lets aliens invade.
You tell me.

There's nothing to discuss. We had threads every episode of this show and already discussed everything there is to discuss.

I agree though, Starposting is cancer. A fucking teaser trailer drops and suddenly 70% of the threads on this board are discussing this cancer.

The Expanse is a great show though.

>>68069338
what did you discuss then? bump

I'm really looking forward to the S2 and S3 of expanse if it gets one it basically becomes stargate but with a tentacle monster are the gate


Can we all agree one whatever that other one that came out with dark matter was utter shit and its insulting it was said to be "like firefly"
