I've only watched 7 episodes of the TV show, while I've read all the books, and I'd say the show is a better show than the books are books, if that makes any sense.

Man if you like yourself some robotic beetles I suggest a little thing called The Long Earth books.

Reading people's thoughts ruins a lot of the best board games/party games. You can only play things where you roll or spin and then move down a track like Candyland.

Toast Museum posted:Yeah, I don't know how other places handled it, but Audible just swapped the versions one day. The original was rough enough that I started looking more critically at the whole series. I like the idea that every big fan of the Expanse novel series eventually has a "Wait a second..." moment, which seems to be true from what I've seen anecdotally.

A journalist who read this whole book asked the authors how they sleep at night and their response was "On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful protomolecules."

AlternateAccount posted:Well that was exceptionally pedestrian. He fed the finished novel into the recycler. You've summed it up better in one short sentence than pages of posts could do. It wasn't a bad ending, I didn't recoil from it. It wasn't a good ending, and I'm not going to celebrate it. It was just an ending. Also way more geriatric sex than probably any piece of fiction I've ever read in my life. That's fine! Old people are sexual beings too!

If the series had ended with Holden using his protomolecule powers to broadcast a message of hope and optimism and everything else across the 1300 human systems that would've been a perfect loop of him and the others desperately broadcasting a message to everyone in the Sol system about the malfeasance they'd uncovered right at the start of the series right after they got off the Canterbury. That would've been a perfect way to tie the series up in a bow, do some fanservice, and service the story. It's a really obvious move and I'm surprised they didn't do it. Maybe they thought it was too obvious?

They got the one lady in the first episode of the TV show who looks a little freaky and belter-ish but I just don't know how they would do that for so many characters for so many episodes without it being an animated show.
