Looked for a thread on it, but didn't find one.

Good sci-fi series.

"Hundreds of years in the future, humans have colonized the solar system. The U.N. controls Earth. Mars is an independent military power. The planets rely on the resources of the Asteroid Belt, where air and water are more precious than gold. For decades, tensions have been rising between these three places. Earth, Mars and the Belt are now on the brink of war. And all it will take is a single spark."


Humans and Martians and Belters and Mormons!!! (and some sort of aliens[?] later on)

Good character development, realistic (ish) physics.

It's ok except for the pudgy chick who was supposed to be some badass uber space marine.

To many producers these days need to make a social statement instead of making a fucking show.

Just use a VPN and wait until it uses a South East Asian address.

Huge sci fi fan/afficinado here, this one just doesn't appear to have.....it.

Hollywood needs less comic book stuff and get more into epic sci fi.

Why do you rate yourself?
Dont you just bore the shit out of yourself?

Just say say you are a fan and stop.
And if you do claim it, spell it. double f’er. (I should be the last to correct anyone)

What happened to create such a giant inferiority complex?

I’ll go with leemajors over you by a mile.

That made absolutely no sense at all.

Pay attention stupid.

When someone who has read Heinlien, Asimov, Clarke, Dick, Wells, etc gives an opinion about anything sci fi it carries some weight. Same with music, movies, heroic fantasy novels, etc, ok stupid? Why do you struggle so badly with this?

You can't really get horror in literture without having read H.P.Lovecraft. See how it works moron?

Tall and extremely skinny is not giant. Stretched maybe.

Tried binging the first season and got a little bogged down in episode 3-5. Everyone says it's dope, I'll have to give it another chance.

I get it through Amazon.

They seem to have canceled it though. Another bad decision, akin to the canceling of Firefly, IMO.

Dude, don't make me punk your dumb ass over "music" again.

There is a vast difference between knowledge of trivia and critical thinking.

Lastly:

If you are going to call someone a moron because they didn't read something, you might want to spell literature correctly in the sentence prior to that.

Yeah, I kinda thought that was a bit of an odd casting decision. A Gal Gardot athletic type would have been better.

Still, the actress playing her is pretty good, IMO. I doubt they were making a statement so much as taking the best person for the job.

Except you'll never see a Gal Gadot type as a badass IRL. She's too frail. Maybe a MMA body type would have been better, some tobacco chewing bull dyke with a crew cut and facial hair.
