Should I watch the Expanse?

Should I watch the Expanse?

What other shows would you compare it to?

I saw the main character has a gay ass fedora which I find distracting. does he ever lose it?

He does lose it, yes.

hes not the main char

holden has a mary-sue aura instead.

"One, Holden needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Holden's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Holden"? Three--"

Yes
idk
Miller is GOAT, he's not the main character.

It's basically pure sci-fi and maybe the best in like a decade. If you like sci fi then you'll very likely like the Expanse

It's shit, I made it to the third episode and couldn't watch any more

I binge watched both season a few days ago, really good - a bit of a slow start, just be patient. It might be the next Battlestar Gallactica

>tfw 1 full year till S3

It's a reddit cuck meme show.

What's her fucking problem?

Watch a few episodes. When the Irish guy becomes prominent and the Indian bitch starts croaking stop watching.

she is frustrated because her thickness is hidden under that suit

Is he autistic?

You missed out a few more buzzwords but yeah you are getting there

It's the best sci fi since Battlestar Galactica. S02e05 ranks as one of the most kino moments in sci fi tv history.

Yes and best character

Also OP, First season was kinda eh till the finale, but the second season was pretty fucking good.

great character considering his role is to be the muscle - i bet he will die next

>blown up Cantenburry
>beheaded crewmate
>attacked Donnager
>acquired Rocinante
>pinned to the wall policeguy
>kinda eh till the finale
it had action in every episode tho

Second season was ruined by that fucking annoying moron mars marine Chubby or whatever her name was

If it had any chance of reaching BSG it would have had to focus a lot more on Miller.

With that storyline ended/done, there's just no way

>Miller storyline
>done

are you stupid?

Mars THICC is best character.

I want her to slap me and shove me in a locker ._.

No, he had that surgery done to remove emotions part way through the show after talking with the scientist. He was all rage before that now he's cool and logical about his violence.

The writing and acting on this show is fucking horrible

The show itches my sci-fi cravings pretty well. Definitely give the pilot a watch.

One cannot be more wrong. Writing is stellar and acting is really good for the most part.

i dont think he did user. when he pushed a kid's mother it triggered some ptsd shit.

he is also sort of broken, other ppl have said he used to be a teen hooker

The way he talked about those children whoring themselves confirms it.

>acting as if the protomeme is miller

he's been dead since before they hit venus.

Some really good diverse waifus in this show

you left out pleb bosnian weeaboo /fit/tard

he's always been that way. he grew up in Baltimore.

amos is the only character I like

amos, alex, drummer, anderson dawes, miller, and fred johnson are all good characters

Haven't seen half of them in ages though. They aren't in every episode. Amos follows holden and therefore makes the show fun for me. Holden plus his gf would be pretty lame.

I also really liked miller, but you know...

>but you know

he'll be back

cool

just go full patrician mode like i am and read the books. they aren't that long

we need to talk

At first I thought that was Sasha Grey.

that panda makeup definitely helps

>blocks your path
What do?

>What other shows would you compare it to?
Unironically Gundam. It's Gundam without the mechs.

This show is your average US vs. Commies satirical show but in Space. Babylon 5 is close.

I'm not gay, I've a wife and 2 kids, but I'd let Amos pound my lubed up boibussy if he were inclined towards that kind of thing and it came up

Fred Johnson's actor holds the character back from being good.
Also your list is suspiciously empty of an attractive older women.

a lot of people dont like grannyfu

>are all good characters
This is not a subjective statement.
and Avasarala is an objectively good character.

But Sasha Grey is able to act, sort of.

I want Bobbie to rough me up and throw me in a locker, if you know what I mean.

The Engineer was truly /ourguy/, wasn't he?

>takes your favourite food
wat do

present boibussy instead

Watching ep 10 right now. She is perfect

my gf, shame she was complete shit in s1

tfw you'll never go to the beach with Bobbie Draper

Why you dont like punisher wearing a fedora?

she wasn't anywhere in s1

acting is plain awful at times
some casting choices are terrible

but overall it's a great show if you manage to look past those two flaws
a must watch if you're into sci fi.

Poll?

...

Wont post shirtless holden this time, found this instead

These are common canadian production flaws, but I'm pleasantly surprised with what they pulled off.
They could drop this whole muuuh space refugees theme that wasnt in the books though.

Can you post shirtless Amos?

Her nose is too wide and you can fit a toothbrush in those nostrils.

She's a dumb, flared-nostril, blue-gummed, nappy-headed BELTER

...

wrong flag

...

I wish to be her cucumber sandwich!

>some casting choices are terrible
Such as?

bobbie
naomi and holden are pretty lame but then again they were never interesting characters in the books either. good actors could have really elevated them, like happened in miller's case. in the books miller was just alright but in the show he became the best part.

alex and amos are spot on though. alex is just hammy enough and amos is very convincing.

but user, i want bobbie's actress to sit on my face!

and it ended up paying off in the last episode. they got some manlets to play the guards, so you could actually tell she's legitimately a big girl.

Bobbie is a pretty good cast imo. You won't find anyone on earth to resemble book Bobbie so get that out of your mind.
>Holden
Holden is pretty much spot on and I think the biggest problem is that we can't get into his head like in the books.
That leads to a different perception of the character but nothing can't be done about that.
Him going full Ahab on any hint of the protomolecule was spot on though.
I think most people have more problems with Holden as a character than the actor.
>Naomi
She looks the part but is kinda in a bad place due to the writing.
Though we see her only through Holdens view in the first books.
She is actually pretty big by todays standards. Have a boobie!

it's a solid 8/10 whereas shit like Dark Matter is a 5/10

Cons
>obligatory forced diversity
>annoying poo in the loo with shitty accent

>t.actual shitskin
Forgot that Sup Forums is the most cucked board on Sup Forums.
Enjoying that affirmative action you get nowadays, coon ?

>he didn't stop for one second to consider all the cheap slave labor a population of 1 billion black africans would provide for the Belt colonies, didn't consider that billions of Indians would rise to prominence, and ignores all the Chinese references in the show because he's a slave to SJWs
retard can't see 200 years into the future

holden was a shit character and the romance was terribly pointless though

I got half way through the book before dropping it because it was terrible. Is the show any better?

If you thought the plot was interesting and the writing terrible then... maybe?

Sup Forums logic: Because someone isn't racist or sexist, that automatically makes them a cuck.

>not liking Amos right off the bat
>no mention of Alex

Alex is a brown-skinned guy with a Texan accent.
Does not compute!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>MC is one dimensional moralfag who can't act for shit
wtf am I reading
let's break that up
>MC is one dimensional moralfag
That makes sense, he is the same in books at first. Those traits don't make him a bad character though.
>MC is one dimensional moralfag who can't act for shit
Now what might be the problem with this statement?
Stop confusing character and actor!
You not liking the character doesn't make the acting bad...
>Amos after lobotomy
Ok, are you 12? Pay attention to screen next time.

back to your echo chamber

It has some pretty good space scenes that remind me of Battlestar Galactica.

>mfw I thought that lopez gonna be part of the crew.

kys retard

He was annoying at the start, though. Generic tough guy.

You went full reddit. Is Sup Forums the first board all of you retarded normalfags choose when you decide to come here ? It's not summer yet.

>You not liking the character doesn't make the acting bad
The acting is clearly bad, you're just incompetent and couldn't see that

>Amos after lobotomy
Wasn't meant to be taken literally, you fucking autist

Back to whatever cancerous place you came from, stop shilling this series here.

>shilling
Sup Forumsirgins on the loose!

my main issue with bobbie is that she doesn't even look remotely fit, she's just flabby as hell
getting a decent actress that would look like book bobbie would obviously be impossible

for a second i thought the actress was pregnant
remembered her as far more fit in season 1

>can't take criticism aimed at his mediocre tv show
Cut yourself to ease the pain, snowflake.

>Wasn't meant to be taken literally,
Then what was it supposed to mean? Please explain.

she isn't in season 1

>armchair futurologist
how new are you to scifi
authors continuously establish national paradigms in their fiction that's usually based on what we currently see

earlier in season 2 then
I just watched it all in one go.

>
>tfw i also thought she was in s1 earlier
I blame the dumb as fuck format where the climax is mid season.

But yeah, she definitely doesn't seem particularly fit, but I think she has the same problem CGM has where she just has fucked genetics, making her fat in all the weird places.

>implying whites will still exist by that time after the Jews are done with them
That's where you're wrong, kiddo
Sup Forums probably gets wet at the thought of that

Well, that's certainly true. Though in pics like she looks more toned.
Maybe she was cast too late and didn't get enough work out time?

>But yeah, she definitely doesn't seem particularly fit, but I think she has the same problem CGM has where she just has fucked genetics, making her fat in all the weird places.
>Maybe she was cast too late and didn't get enough work out time?

yeah, she has samoan heritage so keeping weight off is really difficult

I really belief d The Expanse will be hot shit here.
It is the only space sf show.
It is actually an great show,maybe best since Farscape.
All that minus all those shitty makeups, cheap fake stage etcs we were had to be content with if we wanted SF show(ST,BSG,FS,SG etc...)
WHATS NEXT,HYPERION!?
