CainsDescendant posted:We're on book five, more or less. Season four pulled in a bit of material from book five already, but otherwise we're more or less synced up at this point. Yep. They've actually taken material from book 5 and spread it through the entire show so far all the way back to the first couple episodes. Book 5 is the big character development one for the whole Roci crew and they wisely decided to move a lot of that forward. There's also plot foreshadowing added in all the way back to early season 1 and dropped throughout.

I used to go by theres all the time when I worked downtown and it was sketchy as gently caress, also daytime raccoons everywhere. I never went north, I assume that its gentrified between dundas and Wellesley? Pizza Segregationist posted:Fred Johnson says "we have an OPA informant" and then it cuts to him showing Naomi a picture of Filip saying "this is your son". I interpreted that as the informant being someone else who provided Fred with Filip's location Ah, very easily a red herring then.

Ooooh yeah that season 5 trailer looks pretty sweet. Man, I was worried after the awesomeness of season 3 that season 4 would suck, but it didn't. Looks like season 5 should rock some serious balls!

MA-Horus posted:East of parliament is 2 million dollar townhouses Yea, like I've met people at the Distillery and its easist for me to get off at Queen and Sherborne and walk 10 minutes rather than waiting for the bus, and its always super sketchy right there, but as soon as you walk like 2 blocks you're in super upscale homes. I'm in the Beaches and its become way sketchier lately since covid. I think a lot of methheads and such just migrated from the core to the residential areas because no ones downtown. And they come into the store and bleed on my floor. I've been to Baltimore, and yea, walking one way will get you in real nice neo colonial row houses and such, and the other it looks like LA in Predator 2. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Oct 10, 2020 |

Have read 1-3 and watched 1-3. How far do I need to get in the books to mostly stay ahead of the show? Not hardcore about it, but would prefer getting most major plot stuff from reading. Obviously, we don't know what's totally in season 5, but previews seem to be showing book readers a ton. Do I need to finish six before watching four and five?

Not hardcore about it, but would prefer getting most major plot stuff from reading. The most recent season functionally ended at the start of Book 5. Ironically, you will be more spoiled by the show for the the books at this point in the series. The main cast really don't get much backstory until Books 4 and 5... If you want to keep pace with the show, read book 4. If you want to get ahead of the season that drops in December, read book 5.

If you want to safely stay ahead of the show I'd read through book 6. Books 5 and 6 are mostly a single story so I wouldn't be surprised to see the next season get some book 6 stuff in it.

I'd like to stay safe, and I've heard from other readers that the story kind of rolls along in three book arcs. Not like season six is coming any time soon, so I'll probably get through six before doing four and five of the show. Thx everyone for the insight.

Ive finished Book 5 and will probably read Book 6 just before December. Then read the remaining books after Season 5. To be honest, Im enjoying the show's adaptation better than the books so far. The book characters are so dull and the two best ones have been show only.

The books do a better job of clearly conveying the plot, but the show is much better at creating people I care about.

As I non-book reader I'm really enjoying re watching S1, just great stuff right off the bat setting up the universe and especially when Jared Harris shows up in Ep3.

Marco, like Ashford and Murtry and Mao and Errinwright, fall into the mil-sci-fi novel antagonist trap of being a relentless one-note assholes. But give their portrayal to a talented actor, talented screenwriters and directors, and they can infuse their own depth into the characters.

Just look at Ashford. Rampaging rear end in a top hat promoted over his head for political reasons who nearly kills everyone in the books. An imperfect but sympathetic fan-favorite character in the show.

Didn't see a body, and he was in a martian super suit, but yeah he got splatted real good. It'd be real funny to see him show up again, though. "Invincible me!"

They should show Diogo as being alive because the suit kept him alive, but he's severely brain damaged from the sudden acceleration of being hit by the elevator.

I'm telling you guys, Dawes had him in traction all through S4...  CainsDescendant posted:Didn't see a body, and he was in a martian super suit, but yeah he got splatted real good.

I mean, he's already the show's Kenny: sent up the river by Miller, spaced by his uncle, almost brained on Thoth, last living man off of Eros, and then the ~incident~ with a turbolift... Come on, writers with a parachute account: make it so!

Much beyond the scale of EVE Keepstars I start to lose a sense of logical realism re: how big something is. 160 kilometres is an enormous distance, but it makes sense that a hyper-advanced civilization could build something that big. Same with the Death Star. Once you get into the 1000+ km scale of things that openly defy the curvature of the Earth, it goes into the "this doesn't make any logical sense" realm for me.

i dunno the maths is just made up, you can just say you need that much mass or volume or surface area to curve space-time to make a stable wormhole or something. like miniature wormholes simply not possible

Anonymous Zebra posted:The fun question is "What the gently caress were they regularly flying through the Rings to need them to be that big?!" This is a civilization that built a machine that humans mistook for a planet. They aimed big. I didn't get the impression that the PM civ built the planet from scratch, but rather just repurposed an existing planet (and an array of attendant moons moved into orbit) into a single piece of machinery. Iirc it was mentioned that the geological record had evidence of three different biological eras; The one that came before the protomolecule and was wiped out when the planet was repurposed. Whatever the PM civ was and then finally the biological era that evolved after the PM civ was itself wiped out by its enemies. Doesn't change that the PM civ built big though. As for the ring size, the protomocule still seems to require raw resources proportional to what it is constructing, so the rings might just be that big in order to facilitate hauling asteroids and small planetary bodies through to the system where the materials are actually needed.
