Figured that since we are under Belter Alliance LLC this deserves a thread. So why is The Expanse the best Sci-Fi of this decade? If you are unfamiliar, here is a trailer and please start watching now.
Are they? Never read em. Any big differences?The books are also pretty cool.
Ooh boy, that one's going to elicit some interesting reactions from the people who didn't read the books (you know, after 8 seasons of Game of Thrones it's fun to be the one who did read the books for once).Yeah, but I think that's in part because they decided to show Avasarala early.
Also, IIRC the end of Season 1 has Fred Johnson broadcast that the stealth ships were built by Earth, I'm pretty sure Leviathan Wakes had it be another of Holden's "reveal the truth" broadcasts.
Personally, I'm curious to see how Season 5 ends and if they use the, heh, big event from the middle of that book as their cliffhanger.
Thats not necessarily a good thing. The best shows have endings and are planned to stop at some point and running off the books has not done wonders for shows.I'm pumped for the next season.
The Expanse seems like it took the lessons of Firefly, nBSG, and nuTrek, then made something to beat all of them. I haven't read the books, but I've been spoiled on some future plot developments, and I cannot wait to see how stuff is adapted to the screen.
I also saw, in a fan interview with the Normies (a Youtube Let's Watch/React group), that this show could last a long damn time. The exact quote was "How do you feel about a Season 36?"; so the creators are definitely onboard for the long haul.
I expect they were exaggerating, and do think shows that go beyond about 10 years usually shit the bed. But there are a lot of rings/systems to explore and make plot in, so I could see the show running for a while.Thats not necessarily a good thing. The best shows have endings and are planned to stop at some point and running off the books has not done wonders for shows.
Season 1 picks up pretty well by the escape with the Rocinante and Detective Miller carries it through the whole season.It's hard to consider it the best when its first season A) is painfully boring due to its reliance on a mystery plot, and B) is desaturated to absurd degrees in many scenes. It does pick up once they get to season 2 though.
I wouldn't say its the best.
For me that title goes to Doctor Who (especially 11 and 13)
So literally the worst Doctors? (Not that Doctor Who is a masterpiece like the Expanse even at its best, more like a mildly fun and slightly embarrassing/childish low-budget romp).
Nein, the worst doctor was number 9 by far. (I grew up on 11, didn't like 12 and like 13)
10 > 12 > 13 > 9 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>13
Whats wrong with 13? (you mentioned it twice but i'm assuming the last one is meant to be 13)
I like 13's storylines and characters, along with the actual characterisation of the doctor. 12... eh, I dunno but it didn't always feel right to me. 11 was as I said, what I grew up on, weeping angels and whatnot. 10 I like some episodes but not others, 9 just isn't my thing.
So for me it'd more be 11>13>10>12>>>>>9
I've edited the list.
What's wrong? SHE'S A WOMINNNNN!!!!!
Just kidding.
But she's not a good actor and her season sucks. I'm all for a female doctor, too bad it was a missed opportunity. Missy was great by comparison IMO.
