They should have a different one of these suggestions every episode, and then have the pilot spontaneously combust or suffer a bizarre (Prax panel) gardening accident at the end of the episode. "Stampy Chewbacca...now he died in a bizarre Prax panel accident. ...It was one of those things best left unsolved really." Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jul 10, 2020 |

All this BSG chat reminds me of the Resurrection Ship 2 parter and how loving GOOD that cliff-hanger was. I'm getting my men. I'm pretty sure my jaw was on the floor watching the guns on Pegasus and Galactica turn on each other with Vipers coming out of the tubes. The wait due to the Writer's strike was terrible.

I think a cool think about The Expanse is that humans have learned to wear their undershirts UNDER their shirts.

A E S T H E T I C For the miniseries they had to cut corners, so they cut the corners off of everything as a joke. Then the show was picked up and they had to spend time cutting corners off every book used for the rest of the show.

MA-Horus posted:All this BSG chat reminds me of the Resurrection Ship 2 parter and how loving GOOD that cliff-hanger was. That show still has some of the best special effects put to television! It looks as good or better than many shows recently or currently airing, even being 17 years old. There is a part of my brain that thinks it looks better than The Expanse because the modern effects have too much detail.  RDM also helped to mainstream podcasting/director commentary as praxis. He would release it free, every week as the show aired. A great companion at the beginning of the DVR era! etalian posted:Replace actor with Fat Lee. O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

Well the list now stands at 24, we need 8 more suggestions before we can do an incredibly stupid march madness bracket to replace Alex on the Expanse.

I mean, let's be real here. Alex isn't exactly an important character. "Guy that flies the ship and makes silly shaped lasagna" isn't foundational to the plot character writing. I haven't read the books, so perhaps he becomes more interesting? But it seems like a very easy character to get rid of.

Just have his character be off screen all the time and let Lin Manuel Miranda do his voice with the Texas accent. Got it, Hoss! Donkey balls I'm not throwing away my shot

Unfortunately unless Amazon decides to reshoot season 5, we have to put up with Alex through season 5. Honestly I don't think they'll recast. They'll probably kill Alex off or have him retire or something.

Given Amazon's involvement, Alex is now Alexa, a black cylinder which responds to voice commands from the crew to pilot the ship. Order your special Exclusive Expanse Alexa today for $199.99.

There's not a lot of drama to his character and that's fine. He's a chill nice dude who likes flying ships. I really like him as a character. But yeah, he's not important to the "plot" like Hoden or Naomi, and he doesn't have an interesting personal story like Amos or Bobby (who's clearly a main character even if she's not on the crew). Alex is the most droppable main cast member. But it's a shame. He was a good grounding character as just a pretty normal kind of guy who happens to be friends with these other folks.
