PhilosipherStoned Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It was a slow burner I guess with me falling asleep trying to binge season 1 multiple times, but I think that's mainly because of how they take advantage of the space backdrop for suspense...a tad too much. Tossing characters out of airlocks after a seemingly mundane disagreement or argument...albeit over politics/mutinous feelings is done a lot. I've been hooked on the story ever since making it a third of the way through season 1 without falling asleep from the political filler segways etc however though. 💫💫💫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eklipse Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Agreed! The Expanse was so good. It made me realize that I should remember to see what’s on Prime more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amos's is called The Churn. Edited June 5, 2023 by Lynnrael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite was James Holden. His character was probably the only reason I was able to bare all the other headstrong personalities. AMOS is a good character, but when the character admits themselves through dialogue that they wouldn't be much without the others...meh. A lot of the other characters had way too much apex legends...ETC shit going on for me to take seriously, but they all trusted the guy that unwittingly kicked off a galactic war by trying to do the right thing.

Holden was cool, but there are too many other more interesting characters imo. i didn't get the same vibes, but I'm not familiar with those anyways.

I've played/watched way too much sci-fi space western material, and a lot of the plot of the expanse is built around these other characters crusading for their opinion or blaming their actions in one situation on what another group did or would do in another... I havent read the books, but the expanse definitely built off of a lot of existing scifi tropes.. Without having a character willing to play all the angles it wouldn't have seemed as fresh to me.
