This is admittedly a minor detail but: am I nuts or shouldn't all of the grav couches on the Roci be rotating in alignment with the ship when they're flying? While the attention to scientific detail should be credited to the books, I feel like the show has been pretty faithful to the science of it all. Am I mis-remembering whether or not the couches rotate in the books? Why do I think about these things? Is this a completely unnecessary post?

Not something I'd noticed, to be honest. Sorry

I will now spend all weekend playing the theme song at max volume. Peace out.

I just realized the front of the ship is above their heads, not in front of Alex. Attention to scientific detail maintained!

I noticed that too this season.

The space travel in the books was really cool, but hasn't been touched on too much in the show. It's probably not that necessary to go into, but I wanted to see more.

I wish the ship looked more iconic. It has no personality.

I think Strait is the weakest for sure, but the others make up for it.

Also, I'm going to start slowly converting my speech to Belter-speak. Stay tuned.

I have to turn on subtitles to understand them.

I feel like they haven't been emphasizing the silence of space a well. The sound used to cut out when they were outside of ships. This season there were a few pew pews.

I want that coffee and tumbler.

Ensign9 · **Posted:** Mon February 24, 2020 11:00 pm

I must have that tumbler and pins. Where is that from?

Ensign9 · **Posted:** Mon February 24, 2020 11:01 pm

Also: terrible decision to make James SA Corey's name bigger than the title on the spine of the more recent books.

There was a contest on their official website.

Big yikes re: the actor who plays Alex. Long list of accusers (online harrassment, assault, etc.). Tough call for Amazon and the showrunners -- I can't imagine they'll recast and reshoot all of the guy's scenes if their investigation proves the accusations. But I also can't see them releasing the season as-is if they do prove credible. Maybe some editing to minimize Anvar's presence throughout the season.

Either way, I assume this is going to delay the S5 release. :gomez:

Is Alex the Martian pilot? They could probably snip his scenes down to a minimum for Season 5, but I don't think you can go further into the books without him being a major plot point.

Ensign9 · **Posted:** Thu August 27, 2020 5:12 pm

Yep. If memory serves, he didn't have a huge role in the book S5 is based on. But I suspect the showrunners beefed up his role in the show since he's one of the big 4 characters.

Pretty excited to start watching. New season looks different than past seasons

Anders · **Posted:** Tue December 15, 2020 9:34 pm

I also look forward to it. Been a solid show, if not as great as it could have been.

Oh yeah, Earth's gettin' fucked up, bitches.

I finally gave this show a chance. First episode was pretty great.

Finished the first season. Loved it.
