NowonSA posted:I don't really get liking one show and not the other, but that may just be that I can't picture not liking either one of these fine television programs. All Firefly hatred I've seen is dumb, it was a funny show with fantastic characters and cast and great style. It's a great complimentary companion piece to The Expanse, in a similar niche.

Mu Zeta posted:I found the wisecracking unbearable and at least half the episodes are just bad or mediocre. It's a good track record considering most first seasons of scifi shows are terrible, but I don't understand how it built a huge fandom. It was all based on the huge potential IMO.

Chrisjen Cursing is not only the best part of this show, but the best part of my life.Blind Rasputin posted:I dunno man, people forget. In college I worked for a hotline that would call up parents of missing kids and just remind them that their kid was still missing. Sometimes it had been years and I’d just have to say, “ma’am this is Jeff I’m calling on behalf of remembering missing kids organization and I’d like to remind you that your kid is still missing.” Do they have to do trigger warnings now?

In some sense it speaks well of this series that I'm annoyed by the fact they don't have AI controlling all combat manoeuvres: it means many of the dumber things scifi tropes are avoided.

NTRabbit posted:I too am annoyed that we didn't get to see the Secretary, Undersecretary, and the defense staff jawing about the sportsball results for 30 minutes while the railgun shells reached their targets, and another 30 minutes while the missile made the return flight. How dare the writers compress time from the perspective of the viewer for dramatic effect. After they refused to hire all of the active centres in the NBA and WNBA to play the parts of belters, this is the last straw. The very idea is fascinating: "We know that in 30 minutes, a lot of our people will be dead. We can go for evacuation now, that means many of the dead will be trampled to death by their own relatives and everyone will die in panic and have plenty of time to get on Future Youtube and make accusatory videos about it just before they inevitably die, or we can just sit here and gulp and they will all burn up in a fraction of a second."

drewhead posted:Both of those things are traveling towards you at the speed of C form the source which for practical intents is the same location as the round . So yea, technically I concede the point. Whatever fraction less than C that the round is actually traveling would be some delta difference of warning right?. I just took their description of being indistinguishable at face value. If one can't distinguish between those two speeds then can one really perceive between flash and boom?

Taintrunner posted:Apparently there is a huge controversy on tumblr/Twitter where everyone is mad at the white writers for making everyone mad at Naomi and the actress had to go on Twitter and say she pushed to make everyone’s reaction harsher considering she gave a WMD to anarchists. Which is really weird since this is like the most diverse show on television, and probably the most diverse science fiction show of all time. Bleh.

The Revolutionary War was also rather low on the "active disdain for the individuals making up the other side" part right? Everyone understood it was mostly about political and economic stuff, not that the other side was subhuman scum worthy of extermination, or the culmination of a centuries-long hatred between two groups. And this is not about a restricted war, it's about weapons of mass destruction that inherently cannot be scaled below a "genocide" setting.

Firefly was quite enjoyable, and very progressive and adult in many ways. People wishing their fav tv show be renewed may be wasting their time, but are not actually bad. I'm sad The Expanse was cancelled

Dahbadu posted:I honestly feel belter society/culture is pretty realistic given human nature and their situation. When you're at the bottom rung of the ladder that determines your value as a person based off of what you don't have (wealth), you have no control, no future, live in a state of constant anxiety/stress and you could die at any moment -- chances are you're not going to turn into an enlightened individual or paragon of humanity. You're going to be broken, dysfunctional and fighting over scraps. Thus, Phi230 role playing a 17 year old who has read just read Zinn and maybe some Chomsky who is role playing a 17 year old space serf is excused because that's simply what breathing lithium-polluted air in the strontium mines does to your brains.
