The Expanse - Season 3 - “It's a Legitimate Salvage”

Bobbie exploring Future NYC is one of my favorite parts. I wish we could see more of Future Earth. I like how it's not full on dystopia - there are good parts of life there clearly. It feels very real.
Something about watching Bobbie's preconception of Earthers - as all just being a bunch of "takers" - be challenged is fascinating.

In season 5 or 6 you would have seen plenty of future Earth. I think that season likely would have coincided with book 5 in the series.
I've just finished the 7th book. It was frustrating, but in a good way. I'm practically salivating for book 8 to be release in December of this year.

I adored Errinwright final fucked you speech to the president. Best villain monologue since A Few Good men.
This show is phenomenal.
For those of you don't already: watch Colony. It's not quite like The Expanse, but it's a great sci-fi. There's an OT up around here as well. Give it ago.

i remember watching the 1st episode of colony long time ago, didn't think it was anything special back then
reviews seem to be pretty high, might check it out again

Finally watched the last episode, this show is getting really good. Shame it might be going off the air just as it seems to finds it's footing.
Faro from Horizon? Because Faro's final act seemed less about legacy than his view of how to save the future of humanity.

Ha! I knew it!
As soon as I saw that dude, then another random belter that was tall and Miller had gotten that operation, I knew that in the books all Belters were probably all lanky like that first guy but it would be impossible to do that in the show.
Finally got the binge season 3 and holy crap. From the razorback chase to "I am that guy" it's been a damn joy to watch this show.
Can't believe syfy is canceling this show. They did this shit last year with Dark Matter when the aliens were just about to appear and they're doing it again.

He didn't want future generations to know how much he fucked up.
Never thought about it before. James is supposed to be hooked up with a near 6.5 ft belter
I saw it more as
Him believing it was the best way humanity would repeat its mistakes. Eliminate all history that way no old bias' could hurt humanity going forward, eventually we'd rediscover science but all historical bias and old social thinking would be forgotten. Although, I could see how his true inner goal may have been to "preserve" his legacy by making it be entirely forgotten.
I couldn't stop thinking about Metal Slug's aliens for some reasonThis makes me uncomfortable
Terrific episode, by the way. "I'm that guy". I think everybody was expecting that line, but it was still so awesome.
Of course. Was great to watch. "He's gonna say it" "Course he is!" "Gowaaan, say it! Say iiit!" "Bwah! He said it!" "Boom!"
TV MOMENT
What's the best trailer to show someone to give them a good idea of the show? I don't like that SaveTheExpanse one, shows too much IMO. Any other slick fan-made ones that focus mostly on the first season, maybe some stuff from the second?
I got my dad interested when I was telling him it wasn't aliens-&-lasers style sci-fi, and had some Game of Thrones-esque factional intrigue, behind-the-scenes maneuvering, and a larger otherworldly threat happening in the background

Deadline: 'The Expanse': Amazon In Talks To Pick Up Space Series After Syfy Cancellation
Early days, so don't get too excited until you hear something official.
Started watching this show 6 weeks or so and I am finally caufhc up. What a great show and episode.
Predictable line but still awesome.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Bobby's exoskeleton won't be coming back any time soon. That thing was beaten to shit, had several visible cracks, no batteries and was splashed with hybrid blood all over it. Time to go on another legitimate salvage?
*that was a bit of a physics blunder, btw. Io's surface gravity is MUCH smaller than Earth's, so she should have been able to pull herself up even with a depowered exo. Unless that thing is busted beyond any movement due to damage to the joints or whatever. I imagine it was done out of convenience since simulating the effects of "low gravity but not truly 0G" could be very tricky for the FX crew and the stunt team.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't gravity, but that the joints were damaged to the point of movement being impaired. You could see that arm marked as damaged in her helmet HUD
Edit: yeah
Yeah, I love the scene when she reaches the ocean. Damn if she does not sell the expression and calmness (8:45 - 8-55 in the video) only a plain view of the ocean can give you, cause thats how I look in the rare occasions when I stand in front of it myself.
It's fun, tho. Like the One Man Punch of sci-fi. Bitches leave.
That said, I have to give it to the writers/directors/producers for being so consistent. Even in a show with huge medical advances which could be used to excuse any inconsistencies, Holden's face is still messed up after that fight with the Martian crew.
Dude got roughed.

Yeah, as I was watching it I remembered that scene from Bobbi's introductory episode where she arm wrestles an empty suit of power armour. I guess they were setting up for this exact moment!

SyFy is fine with this type of thing, see BSG. I find it refreshing.
"You're already here"
"Can I say no?"
LOL
I missed the news that this guy had signed onto the show.
