Dreylad posted:Yeah I remembered her from Altered Carbon and it's unfortunate that she hasn't gotten any better at acting. This is from a few pages back but went past unanswered. Nancy Gao's actress was not in altered carbon - who do you have her confused with?

404notfound posted:People were also theorizing if the belter that Avasarala was torturing in the very beginning might have been related to the stealth tech theft that happened this season, but apparently not. I think it still was, or at least that was the intent of that plot point at the time. It's hard to perfectly keep track of all the threads of story and the things you need to keep consistent over a multi-series run. A good example is the slow deterioration of the portrayal of space combat. You had that brilliant scene by the spin station where the roci crew are suited up and stuck in their chairs in their deliberately depressurised ship. This season we have a scene of Ashford's ship being pursued by another and he's just wandering around the bridge ordering his pilot to "match burn" - as if outrunning another ship can be done at a leisurely < 1g.

Slashrat posted:You're thinking of the early-season scene where Ashford and Drummer were acting worried to bluff their prisoner when they actually had several escort ships standing by nearby all along to scare their pursuer off? Yes, and in the Expanse universe if you're being chased you are gonna be pulling some g's. Ashford strutting around like a peacock should have ended up like this  Which is still a freakin' great shot and speaks to my point, they mostly get it correct it's just hard to be perfect all the time.

Toast Museum posted:On one hand, yeah, don't stroll around if combat is imminent. In the books, the crash couch in your quarters is also your bed, just in case poo poo pops off while you're asleep. On the other hand, some lovely Belter pirate ship probably can't do better than like 2–3g, so standing around would be uncomfortable but not lethal, at least until the ship has to dodge a missile or something. If you're going to bring up the books there are any number of scenes where "lovely Belter pirate ship(s)" are zipping around the solar system well in excess of 2-3g; if you're chasing someone you run after them you don't shuffle like a zombie. Also I think you're selling short how difficult it would be to even stand at 3g, that's the equivalent of having 2 clones of yourself 1 perched on each shoulder. And the Donnager thought they were going to be swatting flies, not getting their clock cleaned by railguns. Tooling around on in the CIC with coffee was evidence of their hubris.

Season 4 and Season 1 are very similar in that they let you see a lot of pieces being moved around, but their true purpose and the scale of their impact cannot be clearly seen until they are shown to you in the following season. We know the show's writers are working faithfully from a near completed book series, so there are many opportunities to show what appear at first to be filler scenes until you see where they have led.

Norton the First posted:I dunno, I thought that was a reasonable depiction of a shallow, basically empty-suit politician. Seems like the same read of seeing Steven Strait's portrayal of Holden as an annoying can't-help-himself idealistic dogooder lunkhead - pitch perfect to how the character is written - and taking that as an indictment of his acting ability.

T-man posted:2/4 of the leads (who tend to eat Alex's screentime imo #morealex) are burly white dudes from Baltimore and Missouri respectively. It can be good, but I want better, or improvement in other ways. Let's get some gay kisses or a single trans character, or even a shout out that trans people exist and we have epstein drive penises for trans dudes or something. The Expanse is no longer small enough in scope to claim that the crew of the Rocinante are the only leads. Also FFS can we stop creeping on Lily Gao? The last time she was brought up posters were insisting they needed to see her fight naked.

It's unfair to compare Murtry with Amos like that, it makes him look completely bitch-made.

PriorMarcus posted:Before Season Four started the writers said that they were using a character from the past books for the first time in a season they wouldn't of been in. I've read the books and can't think of who this is? Grand Fromage posted:I remember that too and can't think of who it would be. I also expected Bull to be on Ilus. Sam was in the show briefly already, then they just rolled her stuff into Drummer. I'm certain they're talking about Marco Inaros, who has been introduced to the tv series the same way Avasarala was, allowing us to see how they fit into the picture before they start playing the game in earnest. Were season 4 more closely following its partner book Cibola Burn, we would not have met him at all.

Rah! posted:I feel like they've done a good job when they have shown us stuff, but they haven't shown us enough of it. A Baltimore entrance scene with a panning aerial shot or something would have been nice. I hope we at least get a little bit of a "find a spaceship" adventure before the earth-escape arc is over You mean these aerial shots? before:  after:  Granted it's missing a peek at what's behind the now broken seawall in that second pic, but still you can see everything's blown to poo poo.
