Vodos posted:I'm not that far into the books yet, but I think they're screwing this up. I watched the first 4 episodes, liked the setting but some stuff didn't make sense to me, so I grabbed the first book to compare and I really don't understand what the hell the tv people are doing. I disliked pretty much everyone on the tv show while I liked pretty much everyone in the book. Everyone but Amos is like a completely different person, Naomi is way too aggressive and angry, Alex is something but not the chill dude who just wants to fly and Holden is some kind of pussy/slacker, I have no idea how they're gonna believably turn him into the righteous Holden that's pretty much required for the story.

Fister Roboto posted:That's not really how space works. You almost never want to travel in a straight line in a gravity well, even when there's nothing in the way. Doing so means you're fighting against gravity the whole way. has a heinlein quote in his avatar and literally doesn't understand the first thing about orbital mechanics a shameful poster

also holden was UN space navy, guess they have booster shots (+screening) or whatever. Plus miller is an alcoholic. And maybe he just got a higher dose. Also miller just lost his imaginary girlfriend to gross blue poo poo.

NowonSA posted:That's what I assumed. Holden was also some kind of designer baby with lots of DNA strands involved because ~future~ so he might be slightly more durable than your average earth-born human, depending on how much of a Gattaca-like genetic screening/improvement process is going on. Hm, yeah that would make alot of sense. (Book question, not really a spoiler, would be like fuckin season 7 material at this fuckin rate) why was holden not blinded by those space slugs on planet of the space slugs? I forget, I forget again.

Are there any other good shows Avasarala's actress was in? I have to say I love her acting and voice. Perfect casting imo. I really hope there is more Avasarala-Mao interactions.... Love both those actors.

Demiurge4 posted:But Amos is an educated engineer so there are obviously ways for even 'unsanctioned' children to move up. Excluding people from the system would make the whole thing pointless so I'm pretty sure Amos was able to get on basic the moment he approached a government office. lol
