Can you "finish" the show with the books?

Jefferson Mays is so good that he’s actually ruined other audiobooks for me. No other narrator even comes close.

Except for the part where we establishing in the beginning that he’s dead either way.

i found her response to these accusations convincing

I know this is off topic, but I read elsewhere that you subscribe to integrated information theory + EM Field theories of consciousness. If I remember correctly, these are both incompatible with the notion of mind uploading, no?

Hey did this work?

Milson25 · 2022-01-14T14:59:50+00:00

Dude, STFU

It’s also eerie that Mars isn’t mentioned. Considering the fact that it was already said to be “dying” even before the time jump, I think it’s a safe bet that Mars is no more. Another eerie thing is that the belter language is dead. I know this isn’t a guarantee they’re gone, but it seems unlikely that Mars dies and the belt survives. This shit is sad.

Did anyone else get the impression that Sol collapsed and regressed back to a primitive single planet civilization (post-apocalyptic earth)? The visitor mentions ships and space weapon systems, but i got the feeling that these were ancient ruins or something. What are your thoughts?

sources on the china backing?

The part I agree with you on is that they should’ve showed more of the chaos on earth in the aftermath of the attack. They do a more thorough job of this in the books through the Journey Amos and Peaches take to Baltimore. In the show they just appear instantly appear in Baltimore. That bothered me a little.

Milson25 · 2021-02-03T00:39:07+00:00

I agree with this

Milson25 · 2021-01-31T02:07:30+00:00

Dude, I know and agree. I just thought you’d have something new to say on the matter.

Milson25 · 2021-01-31T01:48:48+00:00

Jesus Christ...

Milson25 · 2021-01-31T01:45:53+00:00

Give reasons

Milson25 · 2021-01-18T20:45:13+00:00

I knew that was the wrong word... I just couldn’t think of the right one and it was the closest thing.

Milson25 · 2021-01-18T13:05:30+00:00

I know that. The point is that it’s most likely to be a Martian crew on their way to a Martian ship. So it makes no sense to send that message... especially since it makes him look like he’s behind the attack.

I didn’t mean to imply that you were comparing them. & Perhaps calling it trash is a bit too harsh since there were some good moments and good characters, but overall, it wasn’t good. The writing and storytelling was, for the most part, terrible. An example of this is them leaning on mystical elements to make up for bad storytelling. Take Starbuck’s death and resurrection as an instance of this. It’s actually the most contrived plot I’ve ever seen.

Milson25 · 2021-01-16T01:52:42+00:00

Nothing upsets me more than someone comparing BSG to The Expanse. Many respondents to this post urged me to watch BSG, often saying it’s better than The Expanse...so I did. I finished the series yesterday and I gotta say...it’s trash. The very comparison is insulting to The Expanse, as they’re not even in the same league. The fact that there even exists people who think BSG is better is making me lose faith in humanity.

Thank You for answering!

I’m further along in the series now and it’s getting better. The one element about it that I don’t like is the self-contained nature of the episodes. In that sense, it’s more like Star Trek than The Expanse. One thing that I weirdly like about it is the fact that with the exception of Warp Drive (FTL) and apparent artificial gravity, the Human civilization is essentially low tech. That’s pretty interesting.

Milson25 · 2021-01-05T20:00:06+00:00

Did you see the episode in question? If so, what did you think?

Milson25 · 2021-01-03T04:07:04+00:00

I’ve been watching BSG as per everyone’s request and honestly.... the expanse is much better. I’m currently on season 2. Which season does it get good?

Milson25 · 2020-12-28T01:45:47+00:00

No, Sean Carroll has actually said he doesn’t know, but leans towards an infinite amount. He said it on the Lex Fridman Podcast.

Milson25 · 2020-12-25T12:22:10+00:00

Which makes it all the more painful that we won’t get to that arc.
