I agree, but this one is tougher because, it has fantastic source material and a really compelling story to be told. There is no risk of going BSG or LOST (or even GOT) with this material since it's already done.hepcat wrote: Tue May 22, 2018 11:00 am That shows like this, Firefly, Farscape, etc. even get made astounds me at times.

Maybe, but I listen to James SA Corey (Frank and Abraham) on the Churn podcast every week. These guys aren't letting the show get away from them. They have a ton of influence in the writers room.hepcat wrote: Tue May 22, 2018 1:20 pmNever underestimate a studio's ability to completely destroy a proven franchise.Jag wrote: Tue May 22, 2018 12:00 pmI agree, but this one is tougher because, it has fantastic source material and a really compelling story to be told.

Remember: every show is just one Oliver away from ruin.
The term used in the above spoiler for the ring hasn't been mentioned on the show yet and could be considered a spoiler for non-book readers.MonkeyFinger wrote: Thu May 24, 2018 9:49 am So many spoilery things to mention from the last night's episode Delta-V...

Yup. As a non book reader, that's not a description I wanted to see. Doesn't run anything for me but please remove it. It's not pay of the show.Ralph-Wiggum wrote:The term used in the above spoiler for the ring hasn't been mentioned on the show yet and could be considered a spoiler for non-book readers.MonkeyFinger wrote: Thu May 24, 2018 9:49 am So many spoilery things to mention from the last night's episode Delta-V...

When reading the book, I distinctly remember thinking, "I wonder what that would actually look like?"
Oye, Beltalowda.
Listen up.
This is your Captain, and this is your ship.
This is your moment.
You might think that you're scared, but you're not.
That isn't fear.
That's your sharpness.
That's your power.
We are Belters.
Nothing in the void is foreign to us.
The place we go is the place we belong.
This is no different.
No one has more right to this, none more prepared.
Inyalowda go through the Ring, call it their own, but a Belter opened it.
We are the Belt.
We are strong, we are sharp, and we don't feel fear.
This moment belong to us.
For Beltalowda! Beltalowda! Beltalowda!
For the entire show, I thought they were saying "Belter Loader". Which made sense to me, since moste Belters spend good chunks of their lives loading ice/rocks/etc onto cargo ships. Thanks for clarifying for me.
Which is unfortunate because Avasarala is such a bad ass in the books. I don't mind the actress, but she doesn't bring the menace, threat and sarcasm as much as the book character.Skinypupy wrote: Sun Feb 10, 2019 9:08 pmI think the only character that doesn't really work for me is Chrisjen Avasarala, mainly because I don't think Shohreh Aghdashloo does a very good job. Every line she says looks like she's reading it straight from a teleprompter. Which is weird, as I've seen her in other shows where she's a phenomenal actress. Not sure why she is so stilted and awkward here, but she grates my nerves quite a bit.
How much of that is the fact that Avasarala swears a whole fucking lot more in the books than she does on TV?Jag wrote: Mon Feb 11, 2019 3:37 pmWhich is unfortunate because Avasarala is such a bad ass in the books.

Agree!Kraken wrote: Sun Feb 10, 2019 8:54 pm What I like best is that they try really hard to get the physics of spaceflight and combat right, making for perhaps the most realistic sf show ever. I've seen the cast complain about what a bear the 0-g scenes are to film -- just making one's arms "float" in front of one for any length of time is strenuous, and there's lots of work with harnesses and cables.
The complexity of the factions and their accents and cultural differences made it slow to gel for me. By the end of the first season...wow.
