I kinda wish the guy playing Amos were bigger and balder, but the person who most fits the mental image my wife and I built of him isn't nearly qualified enough to handle the task. It's the Big Show

The Canterbury was in no way equipped to deal with that situation. It's actually pretty realistic that in space you'd be fighting over distances so far that it would take minutes for targets to hit. Space is really big and even in a "dense" environment there's a lot of empty space between objects.

Probably "Point Defense".

I was really worried that scene wouldn't be as good as the books, I think, more than anything else in the first book. They didn't disappoint.

In the books he was described as a big, burly, and bald guy with a disarming grin but cold eyes. I kept picturing him as a younger version of the wrestler Big Show. That being said, the TV cast are starting to grow on me, so as long as they don't completely screw up Bobbie by making her another small blond white woman I'll probably be happy. Not too many 6'6" polynesian actresses out there that I've heard of.

General Battuta posted:Cibola Burn is such a goddamn weird book. (book spoilers) It's basically the most realistic story of space colonization ever written. Humans: we're gonna gently caress it up before we get it right.

It turns out shooting bullets through things is way cheaper, though.

I mean, if you can build cheap enough lasers, good for you, but it's difficult to build ships with enough armor to withstand relativistic-velocity metal slugs and also maneuver at a decent rate. Inertia's a bitch, it turns out.

Milky Moor posted:I read the third book first and thought it was good enough to get me into the rest of the series. I liked the third and fourth books a lot, but mostly because I like weird Clarkeian alien poo poo. I think the protomolecule aliens are fascinating and weird, and I love the unique challenges of trying to establish a foothold on a planet that didn't evolve to factor in humans. Plus, Bull and Anna own. The Muffinlord fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jul 17, 2016 |

Where's Cleopatra 2525 stack up, or for that matter Homeboys From Outer Space?

Having just rewatched the first season, one thing I noticed is that the stand-in for middle fingers has become that circle-with-your-thumb-and-index-finger thing that kids used to use in the locker room to get an excuse to slug each other in the arm. It's brilliant.

Well, with the other three fingers outstretched, actually. Like this.

That could be the case, actually, with the Belters' tendency to use physical gestures to supplement their language and all.

Xealot posted:Physics question: wouldn't Earthers be goddamn formidable in any kind of physical fight? I think in the books they mention the that Mars could never win a ground war against Earth, but also that's never stopped anyone who's been drunk ever from picking a fight ever in the history of fighting and drinking.
