I'm three episodes in and it seems like they've made a lot of changes to the fourth book, generally regarded as the weakest in the series, to make it generally better and more dramatic. I appreciate that the Corey guys are able to not only treat the series as an adaptation but a chance to tell the story better.

Josh Lyman posted:Binged s4 all in one sitting. Some of the planet stuff dragged but overall I loved it. It constitutes one of the biggest plot spoilers in the whole series, so, I wouldn't even try to get any details in thread. Season 5 is going to be mental.

I don't know if it's just because of how the actor looks, but I'm getting some Psi Cop Al Bester vibes from Murtry.

However, I think there's something everyone was missing. Murtry's leg brace was glowing blue. What else glows blue? The protomolecule.

Amos ending spoilers: Amos getting shot and then being okay just kinda because feels just like how it's presented in the book. I'd say it's a remnant of the production cycle that hit the books where, for a time, Cibola Burn was going to the the final one. In that case, Amos was probably going to die there before the series got extended.

Phi230 posted:Usually when better things or more things come along you start getting perspective on the older stuff. BSG was pretty much all there was for 10 years. Now there's alternatives that show how bad BSG was in hindsight. Nothing wrong with that. gentle goon, the thing about perspective is that it allows you to appreciate something for the context in which it was in, instead of arguing that a show made in 2009 wasn't as good as one made in 2019 or whatever it is you think lmao

The hard sci-fi, soft sci-fi and science fantasy distinctions are extremely subjective and some part of it is based in 'I like this story, I do not like that one.' Just look at Dune, where you'll find people being able to make strong arguments for any one of those three sub-genres.

In some of the behind the scenes stuff, Cas Anvar did give me some of that frat boy 'will harass people but disguise it as a jokey-joke' energy, unfortunately.

had a hearty laugh at the idea of filip and marco and naomi doing all this drama stuff while looking like belters as they were in the book. it was a good decision to change that, not even going into how difficult it would be to do.

VagueRant posted:A high school play level of tone setting without nuance - the war table exchange where everyone was one dimensional with concerned glances after, or Drummer's crew's exaggerated fighting, then immediate laughing ecstatically at the guy being cute slurping up the water. I've really not enjoyed the drummer's crew stuff. i was actually interested when it looked like they were going to fight and have some tension and whatever and then welp nope

Blind Rasputin posted:I’m thinking Naomi leaves the show as well. Bull is the new Alex and Monica is the new Naomi. A number of sources have stated that Dominique Tipper is “fed up” with how unrealistic the physics have become and when they filmed the scene so she floated into the airlock instead of immediately falling onto the floor it broke the camel’s back for her. Don’t know if this is just a rumor? But seems to line up with complaints here so i love it

The Klowner posted:my opinions: erich doesn't seem like a crime boss, which is one thing, but he also doesn't seem like someone's who gone through what amos had since they were kids. there's no edge to mundell's performance. i think about the only description we get of erich in the novel is that he has a gut, but he's still kinda threatening and mean. mundell just doesn't have presence.

Wes is so great. you do understand that cas anvar did not actually die in that scene, right?

The reason Bobbie didn't say a word about Alex at the party was probably because he was right there, alive. why would they have taken him out of the scene? the writers and showrunner have said they planned this from the start. fly away, troll.
