That one verse from the theme song to Mystery Science Theater 3000 comes to mind. You know the one. Seriously, why nitpick all this stuff? Is it causing some of you to not enjoy the show as much? Like, I love The Expanse - that's a hard sci fi show that prides itself on scientific realism wrt physics, engineering, biology, etc, so discussing inconsistencies and lapses in realism every now and then makes sense. But that is so NOT the point of this show, imo. It's a "what if" sort of parallel universe that has some uncomfortable similarities to our current American society. Enjoy the show for what it is, and if you can't do that then, I dunno, watch something else I guess? I don't mean to be so negative, so on a positive note, I'm really enjoying this show so far. I checked to see if someone had made a thread a few days ago and there was none, so thanks to the OP for putting one together. I'm excited so see where things go; hopefully Offred gets to use that cattle prod on the teacher lady at some point.

whalesteak posted:"If you find any part of the show less enjoyable than any other part, don't discuss how it might be better, just stop watching" is a really stupid thing to say on a message board devoted to discussing tv. What I actually said was if you don't enjoy the show, don't watch it

Everyone protesting goes from indignant rage to abject terror in seconds flat as they realize that the game has totally changed. Also, a lot of people have been down on the pop and rock songs being used, but I've been quite into it, and I thought the creepy sad Heart of Glass arrangement there was really cool. They may have had heart to get out there and protest like that, but ultimately they were completely and utterly shattered.

Elizabeth Moss loving blows me away as an actress. Her line delivery and facial expressions are so layered and the execution is perfect. The scene in the bath, her line delivery for "awesoooome.." slayed me. And when she's in the Commander's room and you see a whole conversation she's having in her head by her facial expressions as she reaches the decision to try to seduce him...

It was nice to see men treating this like the apocalyptic government takeover that it was instead of being happy they get to treat women like poo poo. Hope there are more of them out there...
