OT If you like really good scifi watch The Expanse

I want to get into this: Where is it on the grid between Babylon-5, Farscape, Stargate, and Star Trek (those are four good corners)

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Also, Lost In Space (the new Netflix show) is decent... wasn't too invested in the characters, but it's PRETTY to look at.

Based on a great book series so it has a complete story arc. Like most sci fi series the special effects get better with each season.

It does start a little slow but that is because you're telling a story over an entire season. Everything doesn't wrap up all nice and tidy like Trek.

Now I was a huge fan of B5 because of the 5 year story arc. This similar to that.

I like Trek because of the characters, this has some great characters but not on the Kirk or Picard level but it's not really designed to be. IMO the best character is Chrisjen Avasarala played by Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Story: 9/10
Special effects: 9/10 (TV) 7/10(Movie)

I got sidetracked when I first tried to watch The Expanse, but have recently been thinking of giving it another look.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I am very disappointed that there are no dogs in this.

Prime is going up to 120 bucks, there needs to be another way to watch older seasons.

Such great sci fi!

Are any of you fans?

It's a good show, very entertaining. I have watched both seasons so far.

Im sure I will be. I had my eye on this show for awhile. Its hard for me to get my wife started on a new show though so I have to pick my times to watch or she wont catch interest in them. Either that or just watch them by myself but its more fun with her invested also.

I watched season 1 on SyFy and thought it was decent but didn't like it quite enough to prioritize the subsequent seasons. But I've been pondering giving it another try..

I've seen it advertised on cable TV and it looks great. Haven't done a really good search but a quick search turned up fruitless.

It's now on Amazon Prime.

I don't have Prime.

I did a search and came up with Prime which I do not have since they charge for it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Great episode tonight!

Can't wait for the season finale next week.

 

[Minstrel]

Read the books, bitches!

But yeah, the show is great.

 

[Minstrel]

Bro, you got a link to read Auberon? I read all the novellas too, but missing that one. Supposedly it's only in a game?

It's a good one!

Fav novella is The Churn. My fav character is Amos.

Speaking of novellas, think George RR Martin will finish the She-wolf of Winterfell. The Dunk and Egg novella was excellent!

You've read all three Dunk & Egg novellas, right? They were collected into one book, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.

I've given up on predicting what Martin will finish. I'd guess that the second book of Fire And Blood will be completed because he's probably just converting the notes he's been compiling into "history books." I think he's also probably close enough to finishing the next book in the main cycle that that will probably come out soon-ish. Beyond that--I think it's a complete mystery.

curious to see how Naomi gets out of the pickle she is in...if she does

 

[wizenheimer]

How far are you on the show? Being a brilliant engineer, she's a problem solver...

well, the easy way to solve the problem is to detonate the bomb before her friends arrive. I figure that will be the solution if she asked for a raise for next season

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Oh fuck that was a tasty finale!

season 5 was trash. I really like seasons 1-3

What what? He actually died? I think I missed that. I just read that he was kicked off the show for multiple harassment and misconduct allegations and was hastily wrote off the show.

Also next season will be the last. That is a bummer, with the ring and new worlds they could have this series go on forever with unlimited spin offs
