Well, I’m done with Syfy.

I just assumed she was never as old as she appeared on the show and was actually much younger in real life, but nope. I just checked and she’s 90. Pretty amazing to be that age and still acting.

I’m not one that particularly cares when a show decides to reboot or shake things up (I loved Archer Vice) but I’m not sure I laughed once at this entire episode. I’ll keep going though. Hopefully once we get past the set up it’ll work better, but man I miss the original show.

Or as Data once said, “I assume your hand print will open the door, whether you are conscious or not.”

Your spoiler quotes are useless here in Kinjaland.

Agreed, although I can’t help wondering where in the third book this season will end. I have my suspicions but I don’t want to post it because of giant spoilers that the show hasn’t even hinted at yet.

Amos gets to pick the next name.

I’m not sure it was intentionally gratuitous but it was appreciated (so it probably was).

This is why I will only watch it after I’ve recorded it. Even fast forwarding through the commercials I was still getting annoyed at all the breaks.

It did show him alive and I actually got a little pissed about that. It was only a second that they showed him. You couldn’t shove something else in their to keep the surprise? It’s not like we’re talking about one of the main characters from the book. We have no idea what will happen to him.

The Rocinante blinding the UN ship so they could sweep around it and shear off it’s engines was sweet move. Not quite “battlestar jumping into a planet’s atmosphere” great but it got a “hell, yeah” reply from me.

I still haven’t read the books, but I wouldn’t be surprised if, say, the bit where Dr. Meng doesn’t close a locker firmly and a bunch of tools get flung around the ship in the middle of a high pressure dogfight, was an invention of the show’s writers.

The review basically nails the first film. The first scene is hilarious. The rest of it has funny bits but the movie blows it’s wad early.

Don’t worry, Corden isn’t particularly popular in America either. The average American has no idea who he is or doesn’t care.

One of the things I like about the show is how it’s expanded (no pun intended) on the books without the new plot points feeling out of place or shoved in (like the mutiny on Tycho). When I first read the books I was kind of shocked how pulpy they are.

He’s going to regret that since they won’t be able to get a replacement till they head back to Tycho. I hope the busted coffee maker remains in the background of the mess for the rest of the season.

There’s only one villain from the books who is an outright sociopath, and even he has some shading. All the other bad guys are presented as having understandable motivations but questionable tactics.

No, it was referred to at least as far back as the first season as The Razorback. I remember it being mentioned early on by Jules-Pierre Mao in one of his messages to Julie. Not sure how much it’s been mentioned since then but it’s definitely established in the show.

This is a post-Happy Syfy. Nothing is off the table anymore.

This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I had a surprisingly strong emotional reaction to seeing it being written about here. I looked up the release date and this came out about halfway through my father’s fight with brain cancer. That would mean it hit HBO around the time he died (or soon after). I’m…
