I hope the agua kid keeps magically avoiding death. Seriously, how lucky would he have had to be to get rescued from being spaced before dying of thirst or asphyxiation? I assume his suit had an emergency transponder, but it would probably be on the scale of days or even weeks before anyone could swing by and pick him up.

The space station was actually a prototype for a giant null gravity paintball arena. Spoilers: the Expanse is actually a prequel to Laser Moon Awakens.

If there's one thing the Expanse tries to hammer home, it's that there's nothing luxurious about space at all. If you want luxury, you stay where there's a gravity well and an atmosphere.

NmareBfly posted:Someone literally said they were looking forward to seeing how they handle a piece of the plot moving forward. You outright state what they do in the books. That is a spoiler. It's not incidental background detail that helps fill in the setting, it is a thing that has not happened yet on-screen. It is a thing they haven't had the opportunity to even mention in the show. No, it's a thing that has not not happened yet. In fact it has already not happened.

Miller shooting Dresden in the face definitely makes sense as something an RPG gamer would do. I can almost hear the DM quietly weeping into his hands as he scraps a huge pile of exposition and plot hooks.

Snuffman posted:For a show that prides its scientific accuracy, I found the proximity and size of the other Galilean moons in the sky over Ganymede triggering. Same, but also the size of Jupiter in the sky. It should "only" be about 7 times bigger than the Moon from Earth (napkin math), not take up the whole drat sky.

They completely changed the way they handled the last PM sample from in the book, right? I seem to recall that they just straight up gave it to Fred in LW. Also on the subject of differences: I like show Avasarala better.

Y'all need to get your units straight. 20,000 km/s is 6.7% of the speed of light. The Nauvoo wasn't going that fast. 20,000 m/s, or 20 km/s, is a lot more reasonable (but still insanely fast).

Eiba posted:I want to laugh at the people who incorrectly call out physics mistakes, but it actually just makes me sad that people watched that scene and thought "she should have exploded" or "she was moving wrong" instead of just being horrified by what was actually happening. It was a really hosed up, really good scene. What makes you think that they weren't horrified as well? Personally I thought the scene was kind of cheesy, like they introduced a character for the sole purpose of making Prax's backstory even sadder.

If people were actually posting major spoilers like "Miller dies" then I could see the point, but most of the complaints are about minor details, and treating them like major spoilers.

That's a really petty thing to complain about. In addition to being an incredibly minor detail (like maybe a sentence or two in the book), it's also a known scientific fact. e: In the book they say that the Earth revolves around the Sun!!!

I'm really glad I'm not the only one upset with the slingshot scene, because man that was bad. At least the producers are aware of what was wrong with it. I guess that's one of the downsides of the show vs the books - everything has to happen at breakneck speed on the show, but the books can go at a slow pace to reflect accurate travel times. You get the impression that everything from the first episode of season 1 to now has taken place in less than a month, but at this point in the books it's been several years since the beginning.

Doctor Butts posted:I liked the gravity assist scenes and I was also OK with how the coffin was vaporized because it is a science fiction TV show and sometimes science fictiony things happen. It's frustrating because so far the series has been really good at depicting the space stuff accurately - aside from the stuff that is supposed to break the laws of physics, of course. Saying it's "science fictiony" doesn't really excuse it because it just doesn't make sense in a series where things usually make sense. It would be like showing a dude walking across the US in a day and saying "well it's just a fictional story so who cares".

I enjoyed the episode by itself, just not as a season finale. Seeing the Arbogast instantly disassembled was insanely cool. I really hope they fix the pacing issue somehow, or next season (book 2.5 to 3.5 probably) is going to get really stupid.
