Yep on "Team ABC", stuck now as the name for the three in fan circles.

2022-04-28 20:16:45 +0000 UTCGood point, it’s been a long time since I’ve watched the full series but it was great. Before Expanse I would’ve had a hard time saying which was the best/most influential sci-fi show between Battlestar and Babylon 5, though I think Battlestar has aged much better. Very curious if the reboots of either one end up being made, and hope they turn out well even if I’m not sure either one needs a reboot.

2022-04-25 15:36:33 +0000 UTCThey love Battlestar. If you make the comparison with everyone affectionately calling Admiral Adama “Old Man” they’ll instantly get it lol

2022-04-25 10:33:16 +0000 UTCFYI if nobody has mentioned it,"old lady" thing is a take on the pretty common Anerican military practice of calling the commanding officer "old man". Bobby being so military through and through in her world view defaults to the same concept to refer to Avaserala.

2022-04-23 18:46:49 +0000 UTCYeah it's pretty awesome -- also, the running vein of a person's good deeds planting seeds of good in other people. The Belter's "you're not done yet." And I was struck with how Prax's argument over the proto-person is verryyy similar to a certain "reacting to things we don't understand" argument, almost like Prax impacted that person 🤔

2022-04-22 20:50:09 +0000 UTCI will never get tired of watching Bobby going face first into those cucumbers and now your reaction to this made my day.

2022-04-22 16:06:28 +0000 UTCYes, at the end you were supposed to see that the Protomolecule Hybrid had torn through the airlock of the Rocinante and is now inside. It's definitely a bit hard to see especially if you have lights on because the scene is dark.

2022-04-22 13:21:20 +0000 UTCIt is awful what happened to those that were left behind, but it would have been moe awful had Naomi done nothing. Sometimes harm reduction is all we can do, and it's always better to do even something small than nothing. That's the soul of the expanse - always continuing to do the right thing, in the face of terrible odds, even if we can't achieve everything we would seek to achieve in that moment.

2022-04-22 13:19:59 +0000 UTCthe episode shed died l&m were like: imagine in the future we'll be like "we would love shed being in this scene" or whatever (i really don't remeber the exact words, obviously, but it was something like that lola now: just like... oh, i forgot his name again that was funny, i liked shed's character too but completely forgot about his existence, ngl but i think alex and him or shed and amos would be funny duos to have in the show

2022-04-22 12:55:16 +0000 UTCI think I once saw somewhere on YouTube someone called the trio "Team ABC" for Avasarala, Bobbie, and Cotyar. Also I love that nobody changes overnight in this show. Bobbie took almost a whole season to come around. Holden has slowly changed over time. Amos is evolving. Errenwright almost made it and then reverted back. Every change in this show makes sense and feels earned, and that holds up no matter how many times I rewatch this.
