Technically, they changed her surname from Tukunbo to Nygaard, but still…

When Avasarala visits Holden's parents house, they talk about how he loved Cervantes

Crossing fingers… Between Edge of Tomorrow and The Martian, hard sci-fi adaptions have a lot of potential nowadays

Because she was hot!

In the Churn podcast, Ty and Daniel talked about replacing Sam with Drummer due to (among other things) the need to condense the already sizeable cast. So it wouldn't surprise me if they do that with other characters.

In that case, she was better off Ted!

No. That scene wasn't in the books, so I'm guessing the show's writers threw that in to add intrigue to the pilot episode.

Yeah, they just published book 6 of 9, so they could take a breather between the next three books and still not run into GRRM's dilemma.

Good luck telling that to a judge…

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Can't remember what episode it's in but there's a scene of Fred doing multiple takes before sending out a public transmission. But I totally forgot about the peace conference and the meeting with Holden, so that was probably just foreshadowing

I'd imagine that to keep Thomas Jane in the mix this season they'll move up that scene.

After first seeing her on OITNB and Jurassic World, I definitely got the

have seen that…"

Okay, Ron Swanson

I mean there's always the 3.2% ABV beer from the grocery store…

It's just a wine shop, so you'll have to make frequent bar stops to load up on the hard stuff

The old one is, but the new Sponge Bob roller coaster is pretty cool

I don't think it detracted from the scene. I mean the episode already established that Eros is semi-conscious. I think the line would've been jarring for non-book readers.

I can neither confirm nor deny that Miller reappears as a Force ghost who guides Holden to go to the Dagobah system
