The Expanse |S1| Ubiquitous. Mendacious. Polyglottal. Like a couple of donkey balls.

- Start date
I think they are introducing her with a storyline before where the books pick up, like with Avarasala. So could just be different for the introduction?

Technically speaking, huge exoskeletons would be incredibly ill suited (ha!) for urban warfare and breaching ships. Appleseed (the manga, not the vile CG movies) already realised this in the 80's, with some baddies in power armour getting stuck in a narrow alley and being promptly put down.
Also, budget.

LTTP because I just finished the first book so I'm only caught up to E03.
Not sure I'm a big fan of it so far. Holden just comes across as an idiot. Don't like him one bit in the TV show.
Then the final scene of E03 happened. I know movies and series aren't always 100% true to the source material but what a fucking dick move that was. I loved how the
actually went down in the book. Why change that at all? :/
Damnit!

Maybe a bit spoilery 0:18
dream sequence?
0:31 Bobbie looked good there, not sure if it was the combination of music or what, but got a bit of a chill there.
Edit: Read up some on the panel, but there wasn't a recording of it or what? Seems it'll be streaming on Amazon prime, still no word on international rights though?

I know nothing about that particular character, but she looks like a grown ass girl. Space Brienne if you like.
She is like Brienne, but she is different in that she is still suppose to be incredibly attractive.

Shame Frankie Adams didn't make it on time.
Are they going to CGI their faceplates?Looks like Tommy from Defiance is in Season 2.
Great, thanks for the link.
Looks like they do have "faceplates@, just doesn't show very well. Look at their foreheads and you'll see some reflections, also the guy out of the screen on the right definitely has one.

Just pulled the trigger and bought the first 2 books. Have a bit of free time coming and it's summer so not a lot of tv series on right now so this will be a pleasant distraction from day to day life.

Wise decision. Leviathan Wakes is great. I'm currently working my way through Caliban's War.

Leviathan Wakes is still my favourite. I was much more of a fan of the noir detective story than the military science fiction. All are great though.

Unfamiliar with his work, but I think he's got a good look for Prax.
Jules was in S1.
He's 41 too, seems perfectly reasonable to have a four year old daughter.
lolol, I forgot that he was in there.
Terry Chen just looks young. I think the most recent thing I've seen him in was Continuum.

- Deadline: Space Drama The Expanse Acquired By Netflix For Global Members
Some info from NYCC last weekend:
- The cast of SyFy's The Expanse stopped by to talk about the second season of their show! (youtube interview, Marvel booth)
- Arsetechnica: The Expanse at New York Comic Con: What to look forward to in season two
- Blastr: The Expanse promises a rising Mars and more conflict in Season 2 at New York Comic Con
Not relevant for a lot of us except for the fact that more international distribution increases the likelihood of additional seasons when they come to that decision.

Subete no aware
I like how Canada is excluded from any Netflix deal, presumably because of Shomi. Thanks Bell. lol
Fucking finally. time to plan a rewatch come November.
Well Shomi is done now so it's probably not that. Wasn't S1 on Space?
Started rewatching this on Netflix, seen the first 2 episodes, Ceres looks better than I remember, I recall being a bit iffed that it looked a bit off for what I had in mind, but well, it's much more fitting on the second viewing. One thing that isn't better, (and that did annoy me a bit on first viewing, but gave a pass on), is the pacing, it really has issues, things just move way to fast at times, for instance the Cant nuke sequence, just wizzes by, or the aftermath at least, there's literally no time to absorb what just happened before it's on to the next thing. There are several such parts in both episodes.

- Space.com: 5 Things You'll See in Season 2 of Syfy's 'The Expanse'
Syfy is also teasing some sort of 'news' today on their Twitter account. The Magicians just released a new trailer and their S2 release date, so perhaps we'll get something similar for The Expanse in the next few hours.

Not available in my location. WTF is the point of region blocking a trailer.
I know, so stupid

You can try this link, but I'm pretty sure that's the SyFy video embedded.
Either tvpromosdb or spoilertv will probably have a copy up later.
