It's official: The Expanse is TV kino. Prove me wrong.

Literally can't

WHY DID HE TAKE OFF HIS FUCKING HELMET

IT'S NOT WORTH THE BLUE ASIAN SEX

sorry lad, emphysema granny is terrible.

>has to be hooked up to her oxygen machine after delivering every line like stewie from malcolm in the middle

>persian
WE

>shitting on a man's waifu for no reason

Fuck you you heartless bastards

>Im-fucking-plying

>family guy reference

this is why no one will every take you seriously

I didn't even realize he made a Family Guy reference. What a faggot.

>family guy reference
???

I think he meant to say Dewie from Malcolm in the Middle. And how would you recognize a family guy reference?

This show is fucking awesome. I'm not even mad about the lack of space titties.

There is a Stevie and a Dewey in MiTM.

Somehow your faggot brain merged them

>And how would you recognize a family guy reference?

Lurk moar? Fucking newfag

>It's official: The Expanse is TV kino.
That's been official since the first episode aired

>typos are family guy references

oh, cool.

>that feel when you realized the expanse fanboys literally are the worst people on this board outside of spammers

what

For a show that bases itself in pretty grounded realism, they should realize that it would be several days for even long-range missiles to reach Eros. It seemed like it was just over several hours in the show.

it's kinda trashy though

>Prove me wrong.

you're wrong

no proves

Eros was at that point moving towards earth, plus the missiles have no gooey human crew to limit how much acceleration they can push out

>Tfw you will never marry and make an honest woman out of this OPA cutie.

It really is worth it. You'll find out why if you keep watching ;^)

>implying you can ever tame her
She will peg your best friend while she ties you to the chair with a dildo up your ass

In universe the Epstein drive is capable of accelerating mass far beyond what your meat sack could handle. In missiles that's a non-issue. You also don't need to worry about breaking manoeuvres for literally half the journey.

It takes 3 days to get to the freakin moon, the distance from Earth to Eros is still massive despite all the factors you pointed out. The missiles wouldn't be moving much faster than satellite probes which atm take weeks to get to those kind of distances, and I'm giving Expanse engine designs a benefit of a doubt.

>stewie from malcolm in the middle


I think he meant Stevie

What the hell was the point of the Drummer and Naomi girls night out scene? It didn't add to the plot whatsoever and they can't be teasing a lesbo romance because Naomi just fucked Holden at the time.

it takes longer in the book, obviously in the TV show they have compact events somewhat because they can't spread it over like five episodes

did you actually just realize that half the episodes of this show are pointless filler? Just pretend it adds to the world building. Work hard play hard, hot stuff coming through hot stuff, etc

because now they've shared a moment, when they interact in the future they can build on it instead of starting from scratch

>"filler"

not really, the show is moving at a pretty fast speed and is quite streamlined, I don't think you can accuse it of having filler at all

did you not see the first season?

The only episodes that were relevant at all were the first few and the last couple. Everything in between was literally filler.

Oh, wait, you're a dumb blind fanboy. That's cool. Yeah dude the show is just hella fuckin' rad and stuff brah

Season 2 of Expanse is one of my favorite TV seasons.

Season 2 Episode 5 is one of my favorite episodes of all time, pure kino

Not everything needs to serve the plot, it can be about nothing.

Have you never seen Seinfeld or Six Feet Under

He had empathy for the victim and didn't want her to experience it all alone scared and shit.

So is Drummer supposed to be Sam from the books?

what breed is this?

Christ what the fuck.

Belter scum.

that's not filler mate..

oh, wait, you'rea dumb blind contrarian. That's cool. Yeah dude this is is, like, hella overrated and its all filler an shit brah

Yeah the show has a filler issue

Still kino though. This season has been moving a lot better last few eps

spaceship is flying through space
for the crew to be at constant 15-20G force
they would need to be constantly accelerating
right?
not just
>we are going so fast
but
>we are going many times faster than 1 min ago

otherwise there would not be g force to speak of once they are up to speed, right?

He was sacrificing himself so she wouldn't have to die alone. Because he loved her.

Right. You only encounter g forces when you change speed or direction.

>you wake up
>some hobo you never met is next to you
>saying stuff but seems like it all means you are going to
>he tries to cheer you up
>he will face the same fate as me
nigger, I dont know you
I dont care if you would drink bleach right now
I am getting out of this chicken shit outfit

>she will never beat you at space squash

A•U•T•I•S•M

>half the episodes of this show are pointless filler

99% of all entertainment media is filler, kid.

someone explain this:

>crew of the roci has to take drugs to counter g forces and are nearly dieing
>miller is perfectly fine on eros

>horrific red lighting glare from carpet

Someone in design fucked up.

>crew of the roci has to take drugs to counter g forces and are nearly dieing
they take drugs to not lose the consciousness, they cant really counterac the effect of g force on you phisicly like crushing your lungs with drugs

>miller is perfectly fine on eros
watch it again, they talk about it
answer was that protomolecule is magic

>he didn't watch the first season
>he didn't watch julie see/hear space-noir because of protomolecule

Because protomolecule tech ain't gotta explain shit.

They discussed it on the show. Ayyy magic.

They acknowledged that the laws of physics had been broken.

Miller remarked that he should've died when Eros changed velocity to dodge the Nauvoo.

the missiles would be moving much much faster than any of your sat probes. in expanse they have fusion drives that can push 30-50g easily if they dont have to worry about people. propably more. with enough specific impulse to reach some meaningfull fraction of C, and they can take direct paths instead of slingshotting like contemporary spaceflight.
the missiles were there too fast still, but in expanse it only takes a few hours to get to the moon and a few days to get to mars if you try

>genetically engineered with the best traits from eight different people
>worst beard genetics of all the guys on the ship including Miller

Lel

meant for

>space-noir

So couldn't they just attach a tow cable on eros to keep up? Like where does the magic stop? Miller was not inside eros.

>protomolecule is magic

that sucks

I downloaded audiobook yesterday and listened for like 30 min
its ok
I guess I am buying ereader...

one thing that was interesting was that when Julie entered the reactor chamber on ship where she got infected, the protomolecule was like mud/flash, no mentioning of blue scienci-tv glow

the chapter ended when something separated from the mud, and float her way, it was severed head of one of the crew members. It said - Help Me.

That feels like it belongs in Blade Runner

Eros is a big rock and it was producing its own gravity while speeding up

Gunships generate no gravity and its a bad idea to attach them to huge speeding objects that can go faster than you

Yeah. Big cospetic differences between book and TV protomolecule.

I like the TV version better. It makes clearer that you're looking at an information-processing network. And the tension between beauty and danger adds to the suspense.

>hours

seemed like minutes to me. and yeah, that was what fucked my suspension of disbelief in that episode too.

When he's doing computer-aided research into where she went in the Scapulai the scene is a direct rip.. er, homage to Blade Runner.

It's not magic. It's advanced technology, most likely a warp drive.

There actually was mentiong of the blue glowy flickering shit. It wasn't all over the place but it was there. Also protomiller.

I didn't watch this episode yet. I hope they brought across the near-humorous gruesomeness of Eros. I bet they didn't though, just by what was shown in the season 1 finale. That shit looked damn near pleasant, total normie hollywood crapola with WHOOSH WHISHING alium plants. Pass.

>filler

That's what it looks like to showfags? Thing is advancing at near breakneck speeds, entire chapters are condensed to single conversations. Even the conversation themselves are on fast forward.

The actors in this show appear to be bad, but nobody can blame them since the script doesn't treat the characters well. Gotta talk fast, gotta talk a lot and you gotta do exposition dumps every three seconds.

WHOOSH WHISHING alium plants that horrifically assimilate you after creeping you out with a holographic copy of yourself that looks at you funny.

I don't think the actors are bad. Hell, it's pretty awesome how Fred Johnson went from a quiet limb dick to a leader in few episodes and he made the change belieavable by episode 5.

Watch it before getting it ruined in these threads please.

Yes. Any time the engine is burning they are accelerating, and thus would feel the G force.
The max G's they could experience would depend how much thrust the engine is capable of producing, and the mass of the ship.

Also 20G acceleration is FAST AS FUCK. At that rate your velocity would increase by ~450mph every second.

No, at those changes in acceleration speeds the cables, their mounts, or "claws/hooks" would fail structurally. 1g = 100lbs and 2g = 200lbs, but 15g = 1500lbs. Their cables would only be rated for moderate mooring stresses. One convincing autistic fan estimated the volume and mass of the ship to be 2670.7 cubic meters & 2.4 million kg (2,400 metric tons/5,291,094lbs). A change in as little as 1g would result in the mooring cables being stressed at 2,400 metric tons instantly. Even if you had 10 mooring cables, each would take on 240 metric tons instantly. A change of 5g would result in each of them taking on 1,200 metric tons.

Cables wouldn't work in the slightest if Eros increased its acceleration.

I think the max a pilot in a modern pressurized flight suit can take is 8 or 9 before passing out. That's why they need the magic g juice in the series.

Yeah, that. Pretty lame-o.

I wanted to see a ribcage floating on the mucus express to be repurposed into whatever. Going from the book's descriptions, in my mind, it was all quite mundane and matter of fact. It was a regular old place people used to live, now it's a regular old chaotic palace of flesh. You don't need color grading, excessive glowy shit and other exaggerations to bring the bizarre across. In fact, you're only dulling the bizarre.

Honestly, the show is a big disappointment to me. It's too gaudy.

I wonder what that semen-looking fluid is supposed to do. The reason people pass out is lack of blood to the head. Thus, flight suits squeeze the rest of the body, especially the legs in order to keep blood in the head. They were jamming in a LOT of fluid. Pressure on the blood vessels and arteries must have been pretty extreme (I think some of them had nose bleeds?) It may also carry oxygen, otherwise, the dilution of the blood at that rate would make them pass out faster.

The Expanse rips its the ideas for the protomolecule from the second book in the Firefall series anyway.

Much, much better books. You won't be sorry you picked them up.

do something magical to temporarily reinforce the collagen in the epithelium of your circulatory system I expect.

In retorspect that didn't need to be spoilered.

Leviathan Wakes (2011)
Echopraxia (2014)

The main problem isn't collapsing tubes, it is blood being forced out of the head like draining a sponge.

You sure it's not just System Shock? Because it's all very Body of the Many, even down to the voice of Eros and it's odd sense of the poetic.

wtf is he so in love with her? Just based on some videos he watched? He's like a neckbeard who falls for internet girls/waifus.

I really don't get any System Shock vibes from The Expanse. Humans created SHODAN and a hacker released it from its safety protocols. It took over shit, digitized shit, and used the dead to make zombies and such. It didn't comes from an alien source. It wanted to kill humanity because it was inherently evil. There was no reasoning with it. The protomolecule seems to be indifferent to humanity, only using biomass to perform pre-programmed tasks. The woman's personality seems to be a side effect that isn't really a problem for the underlying commands of the protomolecule programming.

The Expanse and System Shock don't even have any grey goo vibes either. At least The Expanse doesn't after it gets past the initial biomass acquisition stage.

A•U•T•I•S•M

He's become a jaded old fuck. She represents everything he wishes he could be, even if he's not consciously aware of it. The show even took a step further to accentuate this by having Miller dress "earther" (nothing like this is mention in the books).

So one hand, you have a belter who wishes he was from earth because he fancies himself too intelligent and sophisticated to be a belter. In reality, he's a nobody. When it all comes crashing down on him, he becomes obsessed with the idea of this rich earther girl choosing to become a belter. So he basically sets out to do what she'd be proud to see him do. He's a bit warped so in Julie seeing good in the belt, he sees Julie seeing good in him.

do you even watch the show?

He did. He just doesn't understand or relate to other people's emotions. See

I understand the basic differences, but the aesthetics and gimmicks are very similar, SS2 in particular. Fleshy space station filled with strange flora and fauna, alien hivemind, cyberorganic voices, zombies (remember that the book had protomolecule zombies), etc. There's even the weird slow-zone pseudo-dimension the aliums made which vaguely reminds me of Shodan bending reality at the end of SS2.

Obviously from Ann.
>Ann vanishes when the ball vanishes

kys yourself retard

>genetically engineered

He was just a random mix of all eight.

>sally apologist

Bitch got what she deserved =

WTF is this?
How can she be such a qt in the show

I still think it is reaching a good bit. That's like saying The Expanse is like Steel Magnolias because there's lots of waifus in both and the good one dies.

Little or no makeup in that pic.

>how can actors/actresses be so different in movies and tv shows?

Because that is literally what movies and tv shows do. Video entertainment is not representative of real life in any way shape or form. Don't let Jew social propaganda make you think otherwise.

;_;

Showfag here.

Did she sell Havelock out? Are these two a couple in the books?

top qt

That's a theory of mind test not autism you fucking spastic. it's used to assess when an individual develops the capacity to see things from others point of view and understand that what they know someone else might not.

We can agree to disagree, but...
