There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.
Quote:Originally posted by second: The Expanse is even weirder than Dark Matter or Akira, the movie...When TV writers don't know when or where the show ends or what will please their audience, the writers start throwing every kind of odd ingredient (parallel universes, telekinesis, clones, time travel, precognition, proto-molecules, FTL, every super-science idea ) into the story in hope of getting renewed.

Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: You obviously know nothing about The Expanse. There's only one of those elements (proto-molecule) in the series, or the five novels + five shorter stories (so far) that the series is based on. There is no FTL, no clones, precognition, time travel, or any other technobabble in those books. I've read them all, and have the sixth novel on pre-order. It's the most realistic, science-based show I've seen yet. Since the story is already being written in the books, the TV writers don't have to make up any other weird shit to keep the series going.

Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: Of course I know The Expanse is fiction, I'm not an idiot. I said it's the most realistic space-based show I've seen, not that it is totally accurate as to how space tech will be in our future, or how real people would act in a given situation. . . . You might think the proto-molecule is that type of plot device, but it was a creation of a far advanced alien civilization, so its properties do seem far-fetched. But don't forget Clarke's Third Law, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: If the book writers ever introduce time travel or alternate universes then I'll back-track on these comments, but clones are not out of the question, even though they haven't used them yet. If and when the show jumps the shark I'll stop watching. But until then I will defend it every time someone else disses it.

Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: I'll try this one more time. I was talking about the adaptation of the TV series The Expanse from the books that have already been written. I'm not saying time travel is not possible, nor that there aren't any alternate universes, just that those concepts are not in any of the books (yet). My point is that the TV writers do not have to think up any other weird shit to keep the show going, because there's plenty of weird shit already at their disposal from the books. That does not mean that any of the weird shit in the books is within the realm of possibility, just that within the world-building the book writers have established everything is explained sufficiently. BTW, as much as I like the series, the books are better because the character development is better. Don't criticize books you have not read yourself.
