real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
I've just started series 1 again. I saw 2 or 3 episodes before and concluded it was rubbish. But I've since realised how deaf I am and that I really need to watch things with subtitles!
This time round I'm loving it. On episode 7 and glad there's a season 2, albeit one I won't be able to binge watch without exercising willpower.

even brief exposure to hard radiation can do. What a shit way that must be to go. And lol, at least they had mephedrone to power through with

Just finished the first season and it is pretty good but uneven character development, not as good as the Expanse but still pretty good. Generally just a good romp though, I feel like they could do a lot more with the subject matter. What would be really good would be a Red Mars TV series....

I also like the show's depiction of hard vacuum, the scenes where air becomes an issue for one reason or another, and the constant fear of de-pressurisation they live with all the time. Most sci-fi doesn't dwell on that but I'm enjoying how The Expanse sort of does.

yes and the swift responses/training. Like its stuff drilled into you with potty training, as you'd imagine it would be in a space borne enviroment.

Just finished binge watching S1 on Netflix, glad I could put the subtitles on 
Think I would have struggled and felt annoyed without understanding so much of what was being said. I kept thinking it reminded me of BG and Firefly (not a bad thing) and then it started to develop its own character and it got better and better. The Mephedrone use as a way of getting energy to make it back to the Rocinante after radiation poisoning was a nice touch. And Naomi's regular use of 'bollocks'
So... I think I'll just wait till April(that's when they're releasing on Netflix) and binge watch S2.

I'm planning to do a binge rewatch when it goes onto netflix after the syfy run finishes. Probably watch season 1 again as well!

so, we finally see what the protomolecule is becoming. This is how you know its good space opera. Its taken till season 2 episode 6 to get here, you are invested in the characters and the politics. Cheaper swashbuckling/mil sci fi writers tend to go straight for the aliens, first ep. Also the martian marines getting killed was brutal. I lolled hard at

if you mean devloped as in was developed by humans further I suspect its beyond that now and control was lost before the eros crisis at least. So its becoming, whatever it is. Eros moved and it wasn't under human control when it did, which leaves me thinking this is some kind of alien crystalline self aware entity

No, I was meaning it developed itself, I agree that control was lost before eros and it's some kind of self-aware entity, it's just that we didn't know it was anywhere else before now. It'll be interesting to see how it develops on venus with Julie/Miller's influence and if/who has played a similar role on Ganymede, and how much the two differ. I had just assumed that the story was going to develop with the proto-molecule on Venus and wasn't expecting something like that!

I've read a few and enjoyed them. It was only e3 of s1 that I realised the setting seemed familiar
Nice having an idea of where the story is going without it mattering at all. I'll probably read all the books when s2 finishes, just to get my fix.
