Syfy: The Expanse
I'm really excited about this - it's a fantastic set of books that I think could translate into really good TV.

I guess I just worry about a GOT experience. I had read all those books prior to the series, and most of my dislike of the TV show stemmed from having read the books and being disappointed in the choices of the show runners that seemed to betray the books.

Your choice not to be amused by subverted expectations.

My worry is actually that the TV series will get cancelled after season 5 or season 6. The 9 novels are actually 3 trilogies and this season marks the start of the middle trilogy. 9 seasons is a lot for any TV series, much less one that streams. |

Hopefully Bezos being a fan will be enough to get us all the way through book 9. |

Watched the first two episodes of season 4 now.
Really good so far. As in maybe the best season yet. |

Finished Episode 3 last night. I was worried because this part of the series I felt was one of the weakest in the books, but damn are they nailing it on the show!

Different experience watching it on my phone, but I binged 7.5 episodes last night and the rest this morning. Not sure I liked everything they did on Mars, but it was good to keep Bobbie involved (she vanishes for a bit in the books, although this was I think taken from a novella). Good too the way they introduced Marcos and Filip, and set season 5 up. I'm now sure how season 5 will work, the way the book plays out marks a pretty drastic change in the series, but they've handled everything really well so far.

Whoever convinced Strathairn to sign on with this show deserves lots of ****ing love. Mein Gott.

Just finished episode 6. By far the best season of The Expanse so far, which is awesome since the source material was much stronger for the first three seasons of the show.

Just finished season 4 and enjoyed it. Fun to see all of the agendas unfolding. The one thing that continues to bother me is that one woman's voice. Her carton a day wheezing rasp continuously pulls me out of the story. So distracting.
