You completely misunderstood my real objections to Castro. Which was my intent, but I'm not a TVIV regular and thought goons were more sophisticated over here. It's always nice when a long shot pays off.

In the books Amos is trolling everyone with the allied psychopath routine and he's actually just a gender studies major who ran from his student loans and picked up spaceship engineering as a hobby while converting his passion for SJW campus politics into casual murder.

fool you revealed yourself as a chump

if you truly were a sophisticated man of the arts you would know that there are no student loans on Earth circa 2350 as one must work for a year to gain work credit for admittance into university

lo, if you can see beyond your curved brow, you knuckledragging imbecile, the hole in your ways and the folly of your smooth brain

It's really only a problem if it turns out she has no arc and doesn't change.

I dont see why she wouldn't, Amos kinda did or at least is definitely in the process of changing.

Oh you done did it now! Time to pivot to GOT analogs. Holden is obviously Neddard Stark, Avasarala is Little finger, Amos is the Hound, Miller is Tyrion.

The Belt is Mongolia, Dawes is Genghis Khan, the Protomolecule is the Golden Horde, Mars is Asia and Earth is Eastern Europe.

Also Holden is alright but as the series goes on, it seems the actor who plays him doesn't have the gravitas or credibility to pull it off.

Actually if my AP world history essays were anything to go by, the Khanate of the Golden Horde was a bunch of noobs, who had a significantly weaker position relative to the other Khanates and got pwned by the samds of time.

Clumsy real-world analogies aside, I do love how the show/setting is so progressive and post-racial but in the shittiest way imaginable.

You have all these groups where nobody cares what gender, colour, sexuality you are, everybody's pulling together for the goals of their community.

It just happens to be those goals are to gently caress over the neighbouring planet. Humanity hasn't moved past prejudice, it just got bored of it's old ones and replaced them with planetism instead.

The whole show walks this fine line between being darkly cynical and joyously uplifting, and it's brilliant.

No static at all...
My roommate tore into belter creole last night. Initially I was defensive, because nerd social fallacies, but I'm pretty sure he's not wrong. He felt like the show was doing a disservice by having it, that the characters sound stupid -- both that the speech sounds asinine and that it makes the characters seem unintelligent. That belter-speak is questionably racially charged, relying on some of the queues of stereotypical African American Vernacular English. And that the series would be more seriously considered if it didn't have to have it's own con-lang, a decidedly pulp-fiction inclusion for annoying con-going fans.
