Man I don't know. The Arjun recast is still jarring for me and he is just a minor character. It's going to be really off when it's someone who had many lines of dialogue in just about every episode.

So I'm really hoping the Alex recast would be better. I've watched some other shows with WAY better recasts, so I'm optimistic? Maybe haha

If they are going to do something, they need to just get rid of the character.

Just get Liam McIntyre to do it. He has experience replacing main characters.

Maybe haha I honestly think the Arjun recast is the worst I've ever seen. I don't mind if they recast and they look different (Game of Thrones for example) but recasting and completely changing their dynamic, and their chemistry, was awful. I think the entire political arc would've hit better if originally Arjun had been involved and had the same story.

The Arjun recast was a complete gently caress up honestly. Arjun in the books is this quiet, contemplative college professor that serves as a rather hilarious foil to his foul-mouthed, outspoken and ambitious wife. He serves to show how she acts when she is with him vs when she is with everyone else, and that she has a much more vulnerable human side that is constantly hidden when in public. If that kind of actor had been cast, then the fact that she was starting to act aggressively with him too would have had more weight.

Just take some inspiration from Dark Matter and pull a Jace Corso/Derrick Moss. e: hey if we're invoking Bezos, I'll also accept a fourth season of Dark Matter as an apology for a fifth season of Cas Anvar Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jul 9, 2020 |

"Hey guys, it's me, Johnny Bezos, the great great grandson of the famous Jeff Bezos who saved humanity with the Blue Origin company. People say I'm a spitting image of him. I'm also a crackerjack pilot, so I am ready to fly this space ship wherever we need."

While the Arjun recast couldn't have been more jarring, I still think recasting Alex has my preference. Have the character kind of low key hanging out in the back for a few episodes, then bring him into the forefront.

Daario recast actor probably has lots of free time these days and people already used to him showing up half way through. Or have Scott Bakula quantum leap into Alex. He's pretty good in sci fi. iv46vi fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jul 9, 2020 |

Trans Alex, she takes Space HRT and bing bang boom the Roci becomes less of a boys club ahead of the books. Get woke points, hires a (T)WOC for Amazon buxs, pisses off the worst fans, and best of all more gynophillic expanse fans.

If you think about it, her role as a former goa'uld host on Stargate had trans vibes, sorta like the Trill from Star Trek. Though I'm not sure I want to explore the further implications of goa'uld removal - conversion therapy?

Many seem to have a preference for host gender though, but for example Selmak use the same pronouns as their host. She/her with the first host we're shown, and he/his after they blend with Jacob Carter.

Just have the Rocinante damaged in the first episode of the next season and Alex gets flung out. Not impossible, you could maybe even tie it into something spoilery for dramatic effect. I don't actually remember what happens in book 6, but there are probably moments that could work and help up the stakes. Have him replaced by the son we saw that one time, out to revenge his father on the greatest enemy yet: cold vacuum itself.

He does return to mars for a bit in the books. Like I said: "Alex died on the way back to his home planet"

Scott Bakula 11. Scorpius in a Hawaiian Shirt 12. Glen Howerton -Edits- 13. Liam McIntyre 14. Shirtless Amos 15. Prax (PER BSG CAMEO) 16. Alan Tudyk 17. Chewbacca 18. Lin Manuel Miranda 19. Taintrunner (By being drunk and ranting like an idiot about BSG to Prax, who was a BSG Extra) 20. David Straithairn (Not sure if this is revived Ashford or just him acting someone new) 21. Automatic Pilot from Naked Gun 22. Fat Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) 23. Roger Cross 24. Jonny Sins (Bald Brazzers Guy) Jack2142 fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Jul 11, 2020 |

It would be kind of funny to see LMM reprise his ~ ~ accent from His Dark Materials: it would be the perfect FU to a character we now hate because the actor (probably) sucks.
