Dawes was the OPA Mob Boss from Ceres. He and Miller had a back-and-forth kind of thing. Hence why he tells Holden he's just missing the hat.

Blind Rasputin posted:Good scene where she mouthed off to the captain a bunch. She's ok. Its just still weird because in the books she was basically portrayed as looking and acting the same as Brienne of Tarth from GoT, and the power suits sounded more like fallout power armor. But she is doing a good job. This, overall, was a great episode.

Johnson meets Dawes in the short story “The Butcher of Anderson Station”, if anyone wants to read backstory.

Brienne is described as ugly and socially awkward, is disliked and disrespected for breaking with gender norms, and always has her guard up as a result. Bobbie is described as a seven-foot beach bunny whose prowess is recognized and respected by her peers. Their baggage and motivation is totally different. Bobbie's armor should be way bulkier, though. Dawes is Ceres OPA. Julie was working for him, and he's been de facto running the place since Earth pulled out.

How often do the books have to say that she has Polynesian ancestry before people pick up that she's a person of color? As a Black person it erks me to high hell when people attribute Caucasian features to characters specifically written to be of color. Watch when The Way of Kings gets its turn, the Alethi will lose their tan. gohmak fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 9, 2017 |

Come on it's filmed in Toronto it's probably hard to get non-white actors there, what with it being by some measures the most diverse city in the world.

Things: - Am I the only one who kinda hates Dawes? I'm sure Jared Harris is a great actor despite looking so much like Charlie Brooker - but he has the worst Belter accent in the show to me. I dunno, if it's the fact I can hear his real accent slipping through, or just that it sounds inconsistent and mumbly, but it really grates and distracts my brain. - I hope this ep undeniably proved that Frankie Adams (Bobbie) can legit act, she just had really poo poo material for the first half of the season. - Amos freaking out at the kid and talking to the sociopath about it seemed a little....iffy. Like overplayed versus the usual subtlety he brings? - I hope Naomi gets her priorities straight, and that new fan favourite Drummer does not betray Fred Johnson while he is being reasonable. (Did she lock down the systems, do we think?) Toast Museum posted:Haha, they sure did. ATP_Power posted:The actor who plays Dawes is loving perfect, and I'm so happy they're using him more in the show than in the books.

It's kinda weird to me that Naomi hates Fred Johnson so much that she preferred floating aimlessly out in space rather than go to his station last season because of his OPA ties, but this episode she's glad that Dawes is running Ceres just because he's a belter, even though he's deeper into the OPA than anybody.

Yeah, 1st season Naomi did a nice job of laying new hints about and was consistent with Naomi's later book relationship/history with the OPA, this season's stuff (and lack of response/acknowledgement of a certain roll call name) kind of fucks that all up.

The new, improved, and always included credits sequence is good. The Thorssen actor was very good. I personally liked the Amos/Cortazar interaction. I like the show invention of Cortazar and now his Dawes stuff. Greatly expanding on Dawes and getting that actor were very good show choices. Acting was really solid, probably the best in a non-Miller episode. Opening an airlock to a ship you just shot with no armor or EVA suits on was really, really dumb.

I'm scared that Amos is gonna get his brain microwaved, and pretty sure he's off wherever Cortazar is. That's the opposite of what you want, buddy!

The trick is to open the airlock on an empty room while your greeting party is entering through a new hole in the back of their ship.

It's fantastic and so well made. I feel like it's the true sci-fi successor to BSG. I feel really lovely about improperly identifying Bobby as a buff blond caucasian when I read the books. Sorry about that thread. It's a weird and sobering feeling when you realize how much preconceived notions fill in the blanks on things. Like, I remember the whole first half of the book I thought Holden Caulfield was black.

There's no way Venus isn't currently being colonized by the Proto-thing. I'm most excited to see the exploration force on the planet they talked about a few episodes ago. And no I haven't read the books, maybe it's just because I'm a veteran of early GOT threads and have PTSD from posters bitching about spoilers, but no I'm not saying any spoilers, there's just no way Eros ended there. That thing is going to explode and send blue particles everywhere.
