This show's actually pretty good. Didn't expect much seeing as it's SyFy but it's some great sci-fi.

Acting goes from so-so to bad though, and some of the actors just piss me off. Pretty sure they spent all their budget on the CGI.

>This show's actually pretty good.
stopped reading right there

I was surprised to hear Jensen outta nowhere though

S2 is genuinely great, show went from being like 6/10 to 9/10

Yeah, I was super excited for the first season because the initial book is fantastic(the others less so) and the show was a definite letdown.
They really bumped up their game with season 2. I finally feel like it's deserving of the praise it gets.

A real shame no one is watching it.

How far in are you user?

Yeah a lot more action in S2, hoping to see the main crew meet the marsians soon.

was hoping they'd keep Kenzo around for longer, despite being an OC. He and Amos had some good banter

Live maybe, but they probably get a solid amount from netflix

Dude's voice is so great, why can't we have him around for longer?
It's unfair.

He'll probably come back soon

Yeah Elias's voice is just great, and I like that he was augmented on the show as well. But yeah at least he got to leave the show with a bang, damn what an ending

>The Nauvoo didn't miss

Haven't read the books but personally I feel like he'll appear at some point in the future, maybe as a sort of agent or vessel of the blue orgnaism or something.

>This show's actually pretty good. Didn't expect much seeing as it's SyFy but it's some great sci-fi.
the ship's control panels are literally samsung galaxy S2 9.7 tablets, just SYFY my shit up

I'd be super okay for whatever silly reason the showrunners come up with for bringing him back.

I think they spent too much time on his death if they weren't going to. Like this weirdass blue hologram lookin fucker dances around him for a minute and then grabs him up, ykno.

>finally get a decent sound system with good bass
>navuoo engine sound literally exploding my ear drums

[Spoiler]So was that humanitarian doctor ship they destroyed as Eros actually proto molecule humans trying to escape and infect other planets? [/Spoiler]

>"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME"

I know they said it's there but I wish it wasn't drowned out so much by the rest of the "voices"

>Want to start it
>Direct tv only has season 2

I didn't even realize the voices were speaking english

Do you not have netflix? Just pirate it.

Well mixed with Belter of course, so probably wasn't easy to distinguish

It doesn't show up

Assuming you don't have better means to get it and don't mind 900MB filesizes

Sure why not.

It's on Netflix everywhere except the US.

>gantries glowing red the white and curling up
>tug getting slagged

muh dick

...

My dude there's 1080p webrips (~1.6gb) from netflix i'm guessing, as well as 1080p rips from amazon(~3gb). Just find the torrent

>actually shows a deceleration burn
>doesn't just float up to Eros all easy peasy

have my babies

>>gantries glowing red the white and curling up

Literally had an orgasm. Just attention to detail

The ratings have not been good...what are the chances for renewal?

I can't have Syfy bringing this into my life after years of draught and withdrawal from BSG only to drop it so soon.

...

Well it's a joint production between Alcon, Netflix and Syfy so I think it's got a solid chance.

i sure hope so

not only is the story pretty damn good, and the cast and characters great, but the attention to detail with the science behind thigns and the world building is just ace

hm that's pretty fucking retarded

I cannot fucking wait for scifi to drop this so Netflix can pick it up. Seems like a perfect low-mid budget show for them

>This show's actually pretty good.

lel no it's not, every Earth council and Mars scene makes me cringe like a 90 year old just like any other Sci-fi show

k

>makes me cringe like a 90 year old

What does this even mean? Do 90 year olds cringe an amount more than most people? What does being 90 have to do with making you cringe? What's the connection?

I actually really like the earth segments. Completely agree about Mars though, they dropped the ball hard there. I don't think that storyline can be salvaged.

I actually look forward to what happens with the martian crew, although I agree most of the scenes so far were pretty cliche and/or awkward - the whole mantra thing, being an ass to the earther before they make up and pat each other on the shoulder etc.

This show is so good I'm willing to shill it for free

same, just not sure who to shill it to

I saw it on amazon prime. Just get the free trial and quit afterwards. If you're lucky you may get abother chance at the free trial like I did latter on.

same

Shill it to LoGHfags when they make another one of their offtopic threads here. Perhaps some of them are not hopeless and can still be cured of faggotry and autism by watching a real man's hard sci-fi.

The one thing that does bother me about the way the show engines is the exhaust. It shouldn't be curving in since there is no ambient pressure in space. Instead, it should be just a rapidly expanding cone.

Then again, it would make the big bad rockets look an awful lot like blue flashlights which would bother normie watchers.

They've renewed worse shows with worse ratings.

Someone at SyFy wants it to be an actualy sci-fi network and knows it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Is this show free on Amazon Prime? I decided to support it and bought S2 on there. I am too cheap to pay the 100 bucks a year.

This is literal space porn

The problem is that the production costs are also pretty damn high.

>Bobby armwrestling an exosuit and winning
I winced so fucking hard at that.

Get over it.

Uh, okay. That's an odd remark.

It's speaking every language there was in the Eros population at the time of the outbreak. There was even a bit of Finnish in there in the books.

The "sex as a weapon" line she dropped in that episode was brutal. Writer's fault. Not sure if it was in the book, maybe it's James Corey's fault.

No, they were either legit people wanting to help or they were Protogen agents.

It was
Up until the Roid-Rage MUHRINE took over half the screentime

Really?
I honestly liked the 1st season more

I read the second book not too long ago. I don't quite remember if she said it or just thought it, but it was in a different context where it was more appropriate, and at a later point where you had already formed more of an understanding of her character so it didn't feel so forced. The character and dynamics changes for the show definitely hamper it if you've read the books.

not in the book, Bobbie doesn't even appear before ganymede.

she also much more likeable, but i wouldn't condemn show bobbie yet as her character arc hasn't even started.

>Up until the Roid-Rage MUHRINE took over half the screentime
>half

I don't know what show you're watching so go make a thread about it and fuck off out of here.

havent watched the show but planning to now. explain the scene? why is that ship so eager to start moving that it melts the gantries?

>why is that ship so eager to start moving that it melts the gantries?

Huge ass spoiler

it's being used a snooker ball in a game of space pool to smack a floating asteroid colony into the Sun which is housing some very badstuff

You must be 18 or older to post here

Stop being a little bitch

asteroid? things move slow as fuck though and are detectable from very far away, im presuming its dangerous because its on a collision course to some population center? they'd have months before it hits surely, no need for the rush.

but that doesnt make for exciting tv. eh, guess i can only expect so much realism.

The asteroid is a space station rotating around a star. Something very bad happens inside the asteroid and everyone is infected inside and dead/dying. They don't want to risk bombing the thing and then small parts of the infecting substance to end up surviving, so they decide to ram it and knock it into the star it was rotating around.

[spoiler[Also they had to do it fast because certain reasons[/spoiler]

Some factions want to get onto the space station which at the time in quarantine to grab samples, and possibly spread the "infection"

I really like this show even though parts of it aren't great. Maybe because there hasn't been a worthwhile scifi show in ages.

Amos>fedora>crew>earth & terrorist chick from 24>annoying martian cuntsquad

The way the ships maneuver at high g in space really bothers me. I get that it's supposed to be part of the realistic sci fi aspect, “look no inertial dampers or artificial gravity trickery” but it just doesnt make sense that a space freighter would be built heavy enough to withstand a high g maneuver that they would never need to perform, would be totally uneconomical and counter productive.

The engines are giant fusion rockets converting fuel pellets into 99.99% energy and just a smidge of propellant... and your objection to the science is that the g forces would be uneconomic?

The engines in the expanse run on magic just like in all other sci-fi. Just enjoy the ride.

>uneconomical and counter productive
Meh. It's 300 years into the future. Material science has probably made some big leaps by the time the show takes place. So i see no reason to call them out on that one.

Asteroids move increibly quick, the distances are huge though.

I think he was saying the ship would break apart if it was going high g and not designed to land on a planet ie space only freighter, not anything to do with engines

1st seasons best season

Perhaps you could give Dark Matter a try

Netflix has different libraries in different countries.
Expanse does show up in my eastern european shithole though

When the engines are running there are no shear forces acting on the vessel. The centre of thrust is behind the centre of mass so the whole thing just goes forward; no weird accelerations anywhere else.

The astrodynamics is messier, I can buy the whole point the nose and light the engines approach despite being fuel inefficient but charging an asteroid at ~90deg to it's velocity is not going to push it anywhere.

its about on the same level as the expanse until it goes "white hole." Then it's just fucking retarded.

I just finished the first season

Why did they bother irradiating all those people on Eros if they were going to infect them with the blue slime anyways

protomolecule love energy

I think they just wanted to see what would happen/speed up infection growth

plenty of other factors for landing on a planet besides high-G resistance


I don't think its ever explained in the book but I reason high-G resistance is in case of a hard emergency decel.

It is mentioned the ships can sustain significantly higher G than the humans inside ever could. Ships can be remotely piloted and it also might be a contingency to stop a ship from wrecking itself into a gigantic (and lethal) debris field even after pancaking its own crew.

All the force is being applied compressively along the ships center axis so it wouldn't crazy expensive.

>white hole
What's that?

>When the engines are running there are no shear forces acting on the vessel. The centre of thrust is behind the centre of mass so the whole thing just goes forward

I am an engineer and you have no idea what you are talking about, please stop.

Patriarchy

Mate, push a rod from the back and it goes forwards - it doesn't bend.

I get what you're saying and that if the rod was made of jelly or you just pushed_really_hard then it'd fail but that's not the case. We're talking about an advanced starship being accelerating at less than 10g.

What am I missing?

Real world vehicles are generally monocoque, where internal shear forces are very important, as opposed to a solid rod which would have no internal space. Granted the most efficient space hauler would probably be less of a vehicle and more of an engine mount/tug. Anyways my point wasnt that it would be impossible but rather that its inefficient for moving bulk material in space like chunks of ice. Its like asking why not ship coal on learjets instead of train cars.

...

>its about on the same level as the expanse
In your dreams.

Two more days to next ep. And I have nothing to do until then but studying. Fuck

>Why did they bother irradiating all those people on Eros if they were going to infect them with the blue slime anyways
The blue slime grows quicker if you've been iradiated

Why do you think it was surrounding the reactor on the Anubis?

Is it better than Battlestar Galactica's first two seasons? I'm really aching for a new sci-fi.
