Amos’ backstory is a huge part of book 5. Wait a few years :)

Season 2 has been formally greenlit and there were Twitter photos of the principal cast and crew toasting it starting this week, so I think it’s a given. Syfy are seeing this as a long-term money maker, so hopefully it lasts.

Wait, what? That’s Thomas Jane? I didn’t even realize. Great haircut. Great acting throughout. Great direction. And the writing, as you say, goes without saying...

Very efficient propulsion (Epstein Drive) so they can maintain acceleration at several Gs if needed. Once you can accelerate at 1g, it doesn’t take you too long to move about.

I thought it was okay up until Episode 4, which completely blew my mind. I think I’ve rewatched that at least 6 times, now. Good season, and I might even buy the blu-ray just to send the show some good gratitude (and I’ll rewatch and loan to friends).

Agreed. I think from the start the producers were clear on something Katherine pointed out in the original post. A lot of Leviathan Wakes is a pretty tightly (and soundly) constructed mystery. While adaptation isn’t transcription, you don’t fix what isn’t broken either. Or at the very least, if you start unknotting…

Loved this show, and while some said it was slower paced, I’d have to disagree. Instead of trying to hook viewers by episode 12 (Shield and SGU, I’m looking at you), they pretty much had us at episode 4.

Someone pointed out how amazing the Cant sets (practical or CGI) looked, especially knowing its fate. They put so much time into the Cant, just to blow it up? Impressive.

I have been deeply impressed with the pacing, although as Book Reader Scum I obviously want them to get straight to bits like [redacted] on [redacted] or when [redacted] Miller [redacted] [redacted] soy beans [redacted] well he’s turned to jam then [redacted] [redacted] Mormons.

I just bingewatched the whole show starting on Sunday, and I have to say, I’m damned impressed and loving it. Weirdly, the thing that has solidified me watching the show for the foreseeable future is it’s attention to detail even with throw-away things.

I just re-read ‘Leviathan Wakes’ and I don’t feel like it made many significant changes to the story at all. Sure, it introduced Avasarala early, and the spy on the Roci was new, and Dawes featured more heavily in Miller’s investigation. But those seem more like streamlining the story for television to me, rather than…

Personally I think Holden is just the right age. He’s the contrast to Miller. The stubborn idealist in the face of a world going to shit. You need a young actor to play that kind of defiance.

Not ENTIRELY made up (But mostly):

Well, he was quite the punisher in his younger days.
