handguns are incredibly hard to aim

ya like I've put enough rounds through pistols and revolvers at my grandpa's farm into like milk jugs and poo poo, and became pretty decent with it, but I can't imagine having to do that poo poo with adrenaline coursing through my veins and the target actually moving.

Amos is horrifically violent but he's not a sadist nor does he really lose control to the extent of beating someone to death (excepting the guy on Ganymede, and it's a very out of ordinary moment).

Besides, he's got to escort Prax and the kids back out. Wouldn't want to get blood on himself and freak them out.

Brutalizing a professional child abuser would be super in-character for Amos, but yeah, he had other things to do at that moment.

Yeah Amos has a massive soft spot for kids so if he was gonna lose it over anything it would be having a child torturer defenseless and locked in a room with him.

But he also knew he had more important poo poo to worry about at the time so Strickland got off easy.

(prax closes the airlock behind him, close-up of his face with the closed door in the background, suddenly amos is there). I'm nitpicking, I know.

The door was open, they just didn't play the sound of it opening, or it was drowned out by the intensity of Prax's moment.

Also nothing from the books should really be posted at all, spoiler tags or not. And ESPECIALLY not without some mention beforehand that book spoilers are contained within. It's super loving dickish to post a block of black with no indication if it's "Safe if you're up to date with the TV show" or "Oh hey this massive thing will eventually happen in the show but hasn't yet lol gently caress you"

This shouldn't be hard but some people are so loving dense. It's like they never developed their Theory of Mind as an infant.

Because I should be able to just know if you posted a book spoiler, or you're just talking about last week's episode? This might surprise you but I don't know what you posted unless you give some hint as to what may be contained in the black box. Because your thoughts are only your own!

This stuff is cool though, and gives the show more depth. I'm also somewhat partial to "That scene played out differently in the books, in the book... *spoiler tags*" The only downside is it tends to encourage idiots to reply with entirely spoiler tagged posts that go heavy into plot spoiler territory.

Some people really struggle with working around spoilers, while most people have zero issues...like it's extremely easy. As a book reader I saw this first hand with half a decade of GoT threads. It's a form of mental clumsiness and with some research I'd be surprised if it couldn't be correlated with a listing in the DSM. Having said that I like when people post world-building poo poo in this thread, I still don't know if I'm actually going to pick up the books or not as it's pretty dependent on the status of the show.

I don't think anybody has an issue with what you're saying, but the way you said it was incredibly wedgie-worthy. I initially assumed you were trying to be funny!

Here's a quick reminder to those of you with parents, relatives, and friends who pay for cable: if you get permission to use their cable logins (which they may not even know they have) you can watch live TV at https://www.syfy.com/live which I assume would count toward SyFy's live numbers.
