I think the speech worked pretty well because, while it was obvious that Drummer isn't supposed to be good at giving speeches (but she has to try anyway, because she can see the fear in the crew), she isn't focusing on telling them that they're tough, or they're the best, or this is a powerful warship, or they're going to kick all the innalowda's asses... ...she's focusing on their fear of the unknown, of what's on the other side of the ring, and on how, as Belters, pushing out into the unknown isn't just their forte, it's their birthright. It's where they thrive, where many of them were born. That this is just one more step along that path, at the forefront of humanity, and how she knew they had the courage to claim it, and to face whatever was on the other side. Which, really, is all she could say to them, given what they were about to do, and not having anything else to tell them (so she wasn't holding back). It was more about having pride in what IS the Belter strong suite, adapting in an unknown/dangerous/frontier situation, when the chips are down and they have no other choice but to make do, together, or die. So, yeah, it worked pretty well, I think, and the magboot heel "stomping"/chest pounding actually worked really well as something that Belters would probably have adapted, culturally, to do when they were trying to sound off on a cramped ship where pounding on other available surfaces might short something out or cut off a delicate oxygen rig or whatever.

Depends on if it is their show or not. When the last season of the Venture brothers was coming out, I was getting pissed off because the show aired on Sunday night and they wouldn't upload episodes until like Tuesday. One episode wasn't for several days. So I started downloading them so I could actually watch them and discuss them with my friend at work.

Oh wow. Did you shitlords really just spoil me on the fact that they've invented a way to transmit moving pictures and sound? You're even telling it's called TV? e: more seriously, the worst part about living in Europe is having to wait until thursday to watch the show. I mean I could stay up until 4am but it's probably not the best life choice. bloom fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jun 13, 2018 |

 Can't wait until this show goes first-run on Amazon so I can watch it on broadcast day with motherforgettin' profanity. I don't think I can go back to the network version now.

Its almost certainly a case of staring too long into the abyss, but you kinda get a taste for absurd american broadcast censorship, especially when its clear the editors and actors in ADR sessions find it as silly as anyone else who doesn't believe the world was created in exactly six days. My favorite is the TNT version of The Matrix: "How about this deal: I give you the flipper" *shakes fist at agent smith* "...and you give me my phone call."

Before I had seen the cinematic masterpiece known as The Happening, I'd just seen the "Cheese and crackers!" line in a Youtube montage of dumb movie quotes. I just figured it was some nonsense they dubbed in for the TV edit, but when I actually saw the movie, that was the actual line. The Happening sure is a weird movie.

In fact, even regulation of broadcast (which is where FCC actually does have power has a safe harbor, so ABC can air a stream of "fucks" all it wants from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. So, I have no idea why everyone in the Expanse is telling everyone to forget themselves.

I just wasn't a fan of Drummer's delivery of the speech. The sentiment was solid and I wouldn't change any of the words, but it needed to be delivered by someone maybe 30-40 pounds heavier or with more scars.
