"The Expanse" - New near-future sci-fi TV

so we can reasonably guess that the gate doesn't allow organic material through. If it is a gate, which we all know it is.
 
It blatantly is. It'll have to let people through for the plot to go anywhere! Maybe you just have to ask nicely, and not come screaming in unannounced at 100km/s

I did like Naomi code switching now she's with her beltalowda. And more drummer is always a good thing.

All sorts of crazy new stuff this week, which I will not comment on till its had time to bed in.

"He's my very best friend in the whole world."

These onions, man.

but it let the ship through, unharmed. Only the organic component got shredded. Whatever the protomolecule is, its more alien machine than alien, imo. Holdens ex? planting the bomb. She eats what seems to be some sort of protomolecule booster (hidden in a false tooth ftw). perhaps therein lies a way that humans might pass through the gate. Or it might be a code as you say.

I hope there is no fucking skip year because of the amzazon purchase. Its just pressed 'go' on half a dozen new arcs halfway through a season)

I think it was just the deceleration that got him. It let through the ship, and the pilot's organic matter, but only slowly. Maybe you just have to tip toe through. Speed limit for star gates.
 
you'll cave in by week 4!

I just did exactly that. Good innit :)

I made it to week 6 before I caved .. season two I made it to episode 7 before I gave in and watched, so this season must be better :thumbs:

Only posting now to say I loved the (what sounds like a) Beltalowda version of Highway Star that racer was listening to in the newest one \m/

Actually, the in-character music (the stuff they're actually listening to) has been great throughout, but this one (and the kinda-sorta-version of All By Myself he listens to) stood out because it had new words, so obviously meant to be some Belter band playing. V cool.

ETA,

Also, they called the repurposed Nauvoo Behemoth.
Kvlt as fvck.

late capitalism is hoping a bald man who owns more money than a majority of nation states saves your favourite tv program to stave off the inevitable cultural decay of la merde epoque


but yay.
I'm happy the show has been saved but it's a bit disconcerting because it suggests just how removed from the reality of his wealth he must be. I'm guessing that he doesn't grasp that in the universe of The Expanse he's the kind of person who would ration oxygen at Anderson Station and call in the UNMC (Col. Fred Johnson) to clean up the mess when the workers revolt.

Well if my body is going to wake me up at 0620, then I suppose I should make good use of that time :D

What's the deal with Melba? She's certainly determined, and has some sort of clicky jaw short-acting superpowers, but is scared and remorseful as hell. Is she just new at this? Is she being blackmailed? She did express distaste with Holden, so could well be in on it, but then distasting Holden isn't too hard to do. This'll have to resolve soon.

Well of course the Rocinante wasn't going to get blown up, but my heart sure thought it was.
@dotty - told you there was a speed limit :)

Avasarala's Sec Gen now? Hope that doesn't mean she'll be sitting the rest of this out on Earth :(

I forgot how good Thomas Jane was as Miller. I loved the look when Holden reachde out to touch him. Nah, you don't want to do that.

"You looked at his medical record? Amos! That's a serious breach of trust man!"
...
"What did it say?" :D

If you don't slow down the room eats ya.

*the roc, deceleration burning into the ring with a missile right on the nose.

decent ep, the end bit *see spoiler* would make a quality book cover, striking image
Has Naomi's accent changed, or am I going nuts?
she's always been a belter, now she's serving with other belters again the patois of her early life has come back
 
Argh, I've downloaded two torrents of S03E08, and both of them have a problem with the audio being about 2 seconds out of sync with the video. Very frustrating...
 
VLC has an option for changing the audio playback offset. In the Tools menu, IIRC
Thanks - that made it bearable!

(ETA: the mis-sync seemed to vary between 1.5 and 2 sec ahead of video during the programme :mad: )

What a blatant bastard of a cliffhanger, though!
