I am however disappointed in how the show handles the protomolecule, and subsequently the Eros infection/broadcasts and protogen station. 1. The station was supposed to be more hard fought at least. I was hoping to see the fighting on the ring as described, where dudes were firing from elevated positions since the whole station was literally an uphill battle 1a. Dresden was supposed to be some suit who thinks himself above the OPA people taking the station. He's apathetic and dismissive, smug and superior. Not really in the show. 2. The protomolecule stuff was supposed to be more like fleshy and organic. Like some real horror poo poo. Vomit zombies. Moving torsos. Spines and bones like rafters. Columns of flesh with fused bodies. I understand it's TV. Wish it was on HBO. 2a. The broadcasts! It's supposed to be moans and screams and eventually insane murmurs, voices, repeating words and phrases, whispers. I was really looking forward to "DON'T YOU loving TOUCH ME" but they changed it to just a screech when the Nauvoo was about to impact.

I like how the entire premise of Eros and JulieMaolicule is that the protomolecule was designed to reprogram single cell organisms and build from there. The PM freaked the gently caress out when it encountered multicellular life and incorporated Julie into its biological computer system. You can tell this when Julie says "Can't stop the work" when Miller wants her to stop. She's still influenced by the protomolecule's original programming to seed a planet with the Alien biotech colony thingy

I mean I wish they followed the books but I can see why they're gonna do what they're gonna do and add drama between Thorsson and Bobbie.

I wonder why they're changing so much. Are they cutting the monster/prax/Ganymede or are they mixing things up to add drama for TV and save Ganymede for later in the season

Open Source Idiom posted:Oh come on. How hard is it to use spoiler tags. Literally everything I've said happened in the show except Prax, who has been revealed as a new character for months and apparently in the new promo which I didn't see. By Ganymede I meant the Ganymede battle which happened off screen and seems to have been cut entirely. Phi230 fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Mar 10, 2017 |

The show likes to create a lot of unnecessary drama. In the books they resolve stuff like landing at Tycho for the first time and Bobbie's debrief very quickly and painlessly. Thorsson/Bobby and Fred/Holden were way too suspicious of eachother for no reason in the show

enraged_camel posted:But Cortazar isn't even in the books, right? So the incongruence of Holden's behavior can't really be blamed on the books, at least for that particular scene. I've just finished book 2 and I can say so far they're pretty good regardless of what he says. To their credit they handle a lot of situations in less dumb and dramatic ways.

I guess the OPA isn't as scrappy Hezbollah in space anymore because after Eros they should be a legitimate governing force in the system.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:So why was Johnson so pissed off with Holden at the end? That seemed pretty out of left-field. They had one disagreement about the feasibility of going to Ganymede. Hardly seems like the thing that would push him into revoking their right to dock at the station. It was dumber in the book dont complain
