MOVIE MAJICK posted:I like that the asteroid is named after exotic desire and basically what has happened to it is analogous to human reproduction. Proto molecule is the sperm and the space station is the egg Nope you got it wrong. Eros is the sperm, Venus is the egg

MOVIE MAJICK posted:No, Eros is the place where the DNA of two lifeforms mixed. Venus would be the environment it grows in or whatever Dude the imagery is there for you to see.

gfarrell80 posted:Neither analogy is perfect. Both aren't bad. Eros had a kind of womb-like gestation going on, with a male entering with a bomb to connect with a female. Venus did get splooged on. Technically the metaphor for sex and fertalization occured when Julie came in contact with the proto-molecule. Mitosis is under way long before Miller arrives with the bomb. What he really does is guides the egg to the Goddess of love and beauty instead of Earth for implantation. The imagery of the crash is still a sperm meeting an egg. gohmak fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Feb 24, 2017 |

Baronjutter posted:I got really pumped by her threatening rant about the parasites in the private sector and how corporations need to know their loving place and government has the ultimate power. God I wish more politicians and civil servants had that sense of duty and actual loyalty to their office, not just as a stepping stone for a cushy private sector job when they retire from public service. And that outfit though. We need a gif of all Avasarala outfits

Would make the later stuff weird if they get shot on the Behemoth though. Book Sam was Naomi's BFF but show Drummer is filling that roll.

Except for the most part they were speaking incredibly clearly and the shame is entirely on siri being trash. IPhone 8 will feature the Engrish keyboard.

Mars4523 posted:Only brown and (in the eyes of Holden at least) conventionally attractive. How often do the books have to say that she has Polynesian ancestry before people pick up that she's a person of color? As a Black person it erks me to high hell when people attribute Caucasian features to characters specifically written to be of color. Watch when The Way of Kings gets its turn, the Alethi will lose their tan. gohmak fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 9, 2017 |

Jarl posted:Will somebody explain to be how what Chrisjen Avasarala did made any difference in the end. I mean the missiles didn't solve anything. - Don't get me wrong. With the information they had it was the best move. It just turned out not to make a difference. The working theory is the missiles could have further provoked proto-Eros thus jeopardizing Miller's negotiations with Julie.

My theory is something will trigger Bobby to have a full flashback of the battle. We started to see new flashbacks in episode 7. it will be the discovery of the suite cam footage

tooterfish posted:I hate to spoil it for you, but I think you deserve to know. After a devastating nuclear apocalypse wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors lived on twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the apocalyptic event. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station called "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live under the leadership of Chancellor Jaha.[1] Resources are scarce, so all crimes – regardless of their nature or severity – are punishable by ejection into space ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life-support systems are found to be critically failing, 100 juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface – near former Washington, D.C.[8] – in a last ditch attempt to determine whether Earth is habitable again, in a program called "The 100". The teens arrive in a drop ship on a seemingly pristine planet they have only seen from space. They attempt to find refuge and supplies at an old military installation, Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, they land some distance from the intended target and soon face other problems. Confronting both the wonders and the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community.

Party Plane Jones posted:It's a book thing; the entire first book is pretty much concentrated on the Belt vs Mars with Earth as an afterthought (in fact, Earth and Mars are coordinated in having a anti-piracy patrol they both participate together in); as soon as the poo poo hits the fan in the belt Earth pulls out of belt stations entirely. Miller doesn't get fired because he learns too much and tipped off his hand early; he gets fired more because he's a dead weight and the captain doesn't trust him to watch her back when OPA takes control of the station. No, in the book Miller gets fired because Dawes tells Shadid to do so. She knows that Star Helix is pulling out and Dawes OPA was signing the new pay checks.

ZorajitZorajit posted: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. Nah that's all inyaloda kaka feloda. gohmak fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Mar 15, 2017 |
