I'm glad I haven't bumped into censored versions of the episodes because Avasarala swearing like a sailor is just the best thing.

I just watched the first two seasons on Amazon and finished like a week before this season began. I didn't think I would care, but having only the censored versions DVRed is hurting my soul a little. This show is loving amazing, by the way. The only thing I'll be missing on the Roci now is Cotyar.

I'm already liking Anna. The actress is nailing the facial expressions, like that "now what?" glance to the side after the video call with Nono and Nami. And the pillow hug!

"Are you a good pilot?" "No, I'm a marine." I wasn't expecting to see Anna yet, but that's not a huge surprise considering Avasarala has been on the show the entire time. I also wasn't expecting to see Mei's friend Katoa either, but for the opposite reason - he was introduced much earlier in Caliban's War, so I thought he was just going to be written out.

Milo and POTUS posted:yeah, there was no excuse at "tell her your fricking name" He said "tell her your loving name" on the copy I downloaded, I just checked  The show is already on Netflix basically everywhere that isn't the US, and to the annoyance of everyone there's like a 6 month delay between US and RoW air dates, I can see them buying it from SyFy if they decide to cancel it

The crux seems to be that Alcon, the studio, can only afford to create the show with the licensing fees they get from SyFy (i.e. those fees are some large percentage of the cost of production) and SyFy won't license without an exclusivity agreement re: distribution. That exclusivity agreement is what prevents simultaneous worldwide distribution (despite SyFy not existing outside the US...  ) and is what must be negotiated around by the VOD services like iTunes and Amazon (IIRC they agree to give SyFy some percentage of their cut in trade for morning-after distribution.)tl;dr as has already been stated in this thread, SyFy is kind of stupid and they suck and basically capitalism is bullshit. Re: Avasarala fuckery, I think it's just because it airs in a different time slot this season? Can't find that tweet either. I can confirm it's gloriously uncensored via Amazon Video.

I didn’t read the books and I am really struggling to enjoy this show, I have to imagine it’s just not transferring well because good heavens I am trying to like it and it is immensely tedious and cludgy and I basically am exhausted by all the tedious characters— the show is so stiff and lifeless half the time it’s maddening but I consume sci-fi like junk food so I guess here I am. Thank you for reading my post, I do not judge anyone for liking this show I just needed to vent.

That's the same class of ship (read: they reused the model because costs) as the Nathan Hale, I guess it's meant to be a destroyer, given the size comparison to the Roci

There are still things about the character dynamics that bug me a lot about this show. Holden is a total rear end in a top hat for seemingly no reason other than to create drama and just comes off as unsympathetic. In general it feels like there's a lot of unnecessary backstabbing going around that could be solved by just talking to one another, which strikes me as a writing problem rather than something that adds to the characters. As an example, the whole dilemma of whether or not to save the Razorback. It immediately struck me how much more satisfying it would've been to actually show the scene where Prax says they should help them rather than cut away after Holden says "gently caress no", and then have the whole situation be resolved when we see them 5 minutes later where they to spend time recapping what happened off-camera. Also the whole time I just wanted Alex to say "we can do both, you idiot". It's ultimately not that big a deal, but it keeps the show from being as great as it could be, I think.

Just so it's not an empty-quote: Dear god I hope Holden dies. He was a decent character once, but now it's dragging the show way down. Side bonus that it would satisfy all those people who want this to be even more like Game of Thrones re: plot armor.

WAT, DOING ONE THING AND THEN THE OTHER?? NONSENSE I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH POSSIBILITY Holden was okay for the first 1.5 seasons, then he got into I AM MAD ABOUT THE PROTOMOLECULE mode and it sucked hard.

I don't know about you, but to me this is far and away the most realistic aspect of the show. What kind of world are you living in where people talk to each other, and aren't backstabbing? That's basically every workplace I've ever been in, and no small portion of family get togethers. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Apr 20, 2018 |

They had only one shot at disabling the UN ship and could have easily gotten killed or taken prisoner. Also they're now worse off than before with the ship damaged and most of their torpedos gone, so it makes a lot of sense that they didn't immediately decide to help.

They're also getting low on air and fuel, and were already pushing things a little to make that side trip to Io before getting a non-guaranteed top up at Tycho, so lots of high G burns and high speed manoeuvres, plus holes in the hull, would not have helped.

But anyway why such a urgency to get to Io (is that the name?)? Is not like Mei is hanging from a window or something. Not that they know, at least. Its been quite a while since she was missing and they have no reason to believe that now they have to be in a hurry to find her

Proteus Jones posted:You don't have a child, do you? No, but my point is: after all the time that passed since she got missing, it dont make much sense to me that they would act like they know she's going to die if they dont get to her RIGHT NOW or something By the way how much time has passed since Ganymede? EDIT: I mean, sure they would be in a hurry, but not "we cant make a little detour or even go resupply and refuel before or she is gone for sure" type of hurry

It is depressing that the number SyFy cares about most is live viewership. Like, I guess that makes sense since it would have the highest ticket advertisers, but there's no way I'm shelling out for cable to watch the show on someone else's schedule. Mind you, the day-long wait between live and purchased seasons is a loving chore too. SyFy, c'mon, you guys started making good genre tv again, don't gently caress it up with all this business.

I dunno man, people forget. In college I worked for a hotline that would call up parents of missing kids and just remind them that their kid was still missing. Sometimes it had been years and I’d just have to say, “ma’am this is Jeff I’m calling on behalf of remembering missing kids organization and I’d like to remind you that your kid is still missing.” So he’s got a point, the urgency isn’t always common

Come on, if your kid has been kidnapped NOW it makes sense that you would drop everything and run and not think of anything else But if its been missing for 2 months and just now you know where she is, you would probably take some time to gas up before you go to make sure you actually can get to her and back
