To me, Drummer and Amos were the green beans and mashed potatoes of the show. Nice to have on the side, completes the meal, but a little unwholesome when eaten as an entree.

Cara Gee is smashing it, but I feel like her presence in the show in the last two seasons has a bit of the same problem as the GOT book-adaptation problem which is that it feels like they have to keep the actor around because they are important later on, but the story doesn't actually have anything for them to do at the moment so they get a side-plot where they mope about all angsty and contemplate existence lots while occasionally adding some texture to the wider universe.

If your problem with Erich is that he wasn't enough of a lunatic psychopath (The Joker isn't real and no one would follow him), I kind of don't know what to say. It is starting to worry me that so many of you seem to exclusively want to see more violent content which serves no narrative purpose. Have you all ever considered just watching blood sports, like UFC?

We are so used to various kinds of unnatural lighting on TV - like night-time filming that is way brighter than a real night, or set lighting, or specifically filming scenes at certain times of day to get the right light. So it's very hard to convey the skies are darker than they should be, and words don't count as much as what we see.

I honestly think part of the disconnect is that the show's vfx skew more towards ~realism~ and away from ~Hollywood realism~. This has always been a problem: see anytime someone doesn't get sucked out an airlock or when Fred spaced that guy on Tycho...

I'm extremely glad the show doesn't do all the awful "exciting" hollywood scifi or fight scene tropes. Like I've seen what Peach's augments can do enough times that when she's passed out in the middle of a bunch of dead bad guys I understand what happened and appreciate the show respecting its audience. Some over the top punch man style fight scene to please the Marvel crowd isn't at all why I watch the show. It's the same correct choice as cutting the first person shooter zombie run and gun parts that were apparently in the book.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I honestly think part of the disconnect is that the show's vfx skew more towards ~realism~ and away from ~Hollywood realism~. That said, if an overcast day is accurate to what things would look like, it would help to have someone articulate that. This isn't like space physics where everyone in the setting understands what's going on. No one's seen the end of the world before. "Huh, it just looks like it's kind of overcast, but it's the end of the world, weird" seems like a fair sentiment to articulate when reflecting on the situation. Though now that I think about it, "that's the sun Peaches," was probably trying to more elegantly communicate just that.

That's probably a more realistic depiction and when I think about it is way more harrowing and depressing--every day is so overcast it looks like a heavy snow- or thunderstorm is imminent, but it's just dust in the air. Weeks, possibly months of nothing but dark, overcast skies that make you feel like you're in perpetual twilight. That sounds awful*. *I'm including real-world severely northern artic communities in this.

It was pretty clearly already fall/winter in Baltimore. Amos and everyone else were in jackets/cold-weather clothing even before the rocks fell.

I feel like it's less of a contradiction and just "I've earned the right to be a smarmy prick, and you haven't - shut your mouth." Also, I love the little hand gesture he does when he says "I'm sure it was a mistake." It just takes the line from obvious sarcasm to "gently caress you".

Eiba posted:This is something I've been kind of wondering. Would a nuclear winter (or whatever's going on) just look like a kind of overcast day? There's a lot of visual tricks to make you feel like something's wrong, but is that actually how they'd look? That's probably what after asteroid impacts would look like, yeah. One of those full, kinda dark overcast days, but for years on end.

People are expecting instant gloom and doom, but that isn't what kills people. The rocks hit, they throw dust up into the air. Enough rocks throws enough dust to lower the amount of sunlight that gets to the ground. Some people die because of they were where the rocks hit, most people die because that dust takes a long time to settle back down. Less sunlight = less crops = less food = mass starvation over months/years.

It would maybe be more like a permanent twilight on clear days, except in the immediate aftermath of whatever caused the nuclear winter. The dust would be above the level where clouds form.

Though you would think that someone would be growing crops in orbit or at a lagrange point or something. Or maybe even closer to the sun. It's a lot easier to send products out to the belt if you don't have to lift them out of Earth's gravity first. Then it would be a simple matter of the UN seizing all of that, stopping it from going to the belt and using it to feed Earthers.

How much you want to bet all convenient lagrange points are actually occupied by Earth corp manufacturing facilities and naval ship yards. Places where they receive belter mined materials, not ship them out from.
