I think quite a few people did, actually. They thought he wasn't that bright, but coming after Joffrey… he hung out with a cute cat and was a nice kid. Obviously it wasn't going to end well for him, but he was likable.

I'm pretty sure people like him because of this: http://www.muscleandfitness…

"Who was the last likable character, before Lady Olenna, that was killed off? Hodor?"

Coolant leak! We've got a coolant leak!

Not many men come out as bi, so it is a bit surprising.

The movie is actually a lot more fun than its box office failure leads one to expect.

Wait… you mean only one of them is gay?

Shohreh Aghdashloo really deserves a nom for The Expanse. She's doing fantastic work on that.

Much like with Hulk Hogan vs Gawker, this is a case where every side is terrible and I want them all to lose. Maybe the jury can do the right thing and fine S&S and Milo 10 million each and give the money to Leslie Jones.

I'm not ruling that out yet. The show made a point of depicting Admiral
Souther being forced out of power and Nguyen being put in charge of the
fleet, and in the Mars negotiations Nguyen has shown himself to be a
hardliner. I can easily see Nguyen working with a still-duplicitous
Errinwright (seeking to redeem himself…

I don't think it does, though, not really. I mean, they worked on some version of the Children of Men script, but Cuaron has said that pretty much nothing they wrote actually made it onto the screen but they still got credit anyway because of Hollywood union rules.

I don't think making Mars the villain is as big a change as it seems to be upon first glance. I mean, the books stated quite clearly that while the UN was bidding for protomolecule weapons from Mao, there were quite a few bidders on the Martian side as well. So the major change in the show is to just bring Martian…

Torture doesn't work in real life because of false positives. Because if you torture someone who doesn't know anything, they'll be so desperate for the torture to end that they'll tell you what you want to know, even if they don't know anything and they have to make something up in order to tell you what you want to…

The main character is white, but that doesn't diminish the diversity of
the cast. Fully half of the show's regulars are women, and fully half
are people of color. And that doesn't even touch on the secondary
characters and background characters; they've gone to great lengths to
ensure that those roles are properly…

But they did have to search as far as New Zealand, because they felt Bobbie's ethnicity was important to maintain for the show. The producers have spoken about how critical they feel it is to live up to the diversity the books have.

My favorite bit of dialogue from Book One is this:
Fred: “They aren’t going to see it that way, but I will do what I can.”
Holden: “You keep saying that.”
Fred: “It keeps being all I can do."

Yeah, but one of the members of that cabal is the second-in-command of Earth. So you can't really fully absolve Earth of all responsibility, either.

Yes, it's explained in the first book, when Holden gets interviewed on the Donnager.

The angel stuff is pretty fun for a while, though. It provides the show with its best villain by far: Kurt Fuller's Zachariah. Then, like all things Supernatural, it goes on for too long.
