No seriously. What is stereotypical African American Vernacular English? I'm black, grew up in Harlem and live in Atlanta. I don't see a lick of slang continuity aside from "nigga" gohmak fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Mar 15, 2017 |

Doresain posted:I read the whole Holden/Fred thing at the end as another illustration of Fred's declining power and influence. To be honest I'm not going to spoiler this because I don't think it's needed. The entire book Holden Johnson breakup didn't change their relationship one bit. All it served was for the Rosenante crew to have the libertarian circle jerk scene.

Demiurge4 posted:The show really likes to ignore physics for theatrical effect in this season, I really liked season 1 based on the fact it tried to be realistic. The spacing is a good example, she floats there for several seconds as she loses her breath rather than being explosively decompressed and blown into space like a rocket. The show was spot on.

squidgee posted:This is the correct answer for the books (and subsequent translation to the screen). Not sure if they're just assuming belters recognize their own on the show or what, though. Tattoos, side head shave, speak belter and some are tall and spindly for the show. The book belters don't have the tats and side shave but they are all tall, spindly and have big heads. Julie if I remember correctly was born and raised on Luna so she had belter physique.

OMGVBFLOL posted:was anyone else sorta vaguely disappointed when the protomolecule thing came to a head on eros? it just felt so... idk, the combination of reactionless drive, "huge living thing that rapidly overgrows everything" trope, and julie mao's resurrection/replication was just felt like a wave of soft-ish/fantastical elements that came at you pretty much all in the span of an episode, and after a season plus of pretty much the hardest sci fi that's ever been put to screen it kinda felt like a letdown. Technically all of that is still true about the show. The molecule has not been proven to be an alien intelegence, Eros didn't move FTL nor create artificial gravity. What it did do is manipulate localized space time at the expense of generating tremendous heat.

Grand Fromage posted:I had the same experience with the books but I think they've handled it well thus far. Were you disappointed with Revelation Space when a Neutron star created a bubble of 1g or Redemption Arc when they discovered how to hide mass in order to reach 99%c faster? Some of the best hard sci-fi introduces theoretical elements that seen fantasy

Grand Fromage posted:Haven't read either of those and don't see the relevance. I wanted humans tooling around the Solar System with no aliens or anything, then there's alien protomolecule stuff. I was mildly disappointed it would not be exactly what I wanted and then moved on. Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312 and Alastair Reynolds A Blue Remembered Earth are both Sol System centric hard sci-fi without aliens.

So if I say "The show is deviating so much from the book I don't think we will get to meet the pinkwater mercs." Am I book spoiling? I think it's a big change worth discussing that Ganymede in the show is about a refugee crisis where as the books was about a cascading ecosystem collapse. No, the book thread is not the place to discuss the show but until a spoiler show thread is created I think it is appropriate to discuss contrasts between the show and its source material and media.

Stop discussing previews of scenes that have not aired yet. You are going to trigger book readers to spoil further.

emanresu tnuocca posted:To me it feels like the setting is a rather overt metaphor is for the actual colonialist era with Earth being old europe, Mars being the united states and the belters being the indigenous population in all the exploited colonies. Wouldn't Belters be the peasant labor complaining about taxes on tea?

He going to lose em both. He's not really useful for anything else. By the end of the episode he does lose them both.
