Sounds interesting let's look up the plot synopsis. Ok, Alien Comet seems good, mysterious signal, k still on board. One character is a reincarnated vampire uh....what. some more stuff that never mentions vampires again. Then an ending with a vampire revolt on earth. Hmm. Well I didn't see that coming. Guess I'll check it out.

The show could have really fixed a lot of these issues too. What a shame.

It also seems kinda not very Amosy to just sit in a cave with no place to fall back to when he knows (armed) people will probably come looking for Theresa eventually. Did he learn nothing from Bobby tactics wise in 30+ years? Like he knows Laconian power armor is a thing too.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:Tiamat's Wrath, Chapters 29 - 33 I guess you could keep Avasarala alive for another season and kill her off between season 8/9 instead of between 7/8. She's really the only other person close to Bobby. You'd lose the scene with Holden remembering her at the state building but like...so what.

No we don't. Those chapters were beyond tedious

Making Bobby a Laconian sympathizer or whatever makes zero sense.

PriorMarcus posted:Honestly I think it's the exact opposite. It makes more sense than her hanging around on the Rocci for 30 years accomplishing nothing. General Battuta posted:It makes dramatic sense because it's painful and gives us a Laconian we care about, other than Duarte who we care about because he's interesting but he's promptly shuffled offscreen. The solution to Tanaka being poo poo isn't to just ram another character in her slot even if we happen to care about them. The Dream of Mars is one thing but it's a far cry from "yes I guess I'll join the guy that enabled the biggest terrorist humanity has seen, tosses people into pens and injects himself with alien goo because clearly these are the good guys" I mean I guess you could go that route if you're cool with a total assassination of her character. The "Laconian we care about" is essentially Elvi. What you're actually asking for is "Laconian we care about who is also a true believer and military so we can write tense standoff scenes around" No pre PR characters fit this criteria so unfortunately, there is no workable solution to this other than just rewriting Tanaka to not be poo poo. banned from Starbucks fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Mar 18, 2024 |

I kept waiting for this to come up ever since it was mentioned in PR. But, it just never does. Like you have Tanaka the power armor wearing bad guy right there! to do something cool with this idea, and just... nothing. What a shame.

It feels like they were preemptively merging two separate characters that they thought the show would merge later on down the road anyway. Did they still think they'd get more seasons to adapt these last books at the time of writing LF?

Great thread and a hell of a journey. I'm really curious as to how the show adapters would have fixed this mess. I can't imagine the show would have drummer just gently caress off after season 7 or Trejo annihilating half of Sol then just never being important again or Naomi sitting in a box all season. God, LF feels like it has enough content for like 2 episodes tops. You're right that Amos should just stay dead. It'd be a horrible waste of Wes Chatham to play protomolecule David Putty. Tanaka can just....not exist. Could they stick a better landing than the Coreys? I'm betting yes.
