Corporal Sa'id was Yojimbo's pilot in the book; here, he's part of Draper's squad, on foot.

That's assuming the one in a trillion chance Epstein was even aiming at Alpha Centauri. His ship has about as much chance of accidentally colliding with Voyager 2 or Pioneer 13.

UN Navy. Basically, with the comm jamming and both the UN and MCRN Marines on the surface opening fire, the ships in low orbit all assumed the worst and started shooting each other. The mirror could very well have just been in the way.

Not so much, but the way they introduced the Canterbury crew (like a Firefly homage — old ship, multicultural crew of regular Joes and Janes), then blew up the ship and all but five of the crew, got me hooked on the whole book series.

It's the result of when Abraham and Franck met Andy Weir, and together realized The Martian would fit into the backstory of The Expanse.

The short version of Solomon Epstein's fate appears literally in the first paragraph of Chapter One, Book One.

Radar, I'm so sorry.

Awesome story that made Amos' arc in Book Five that much better. I also appreciated the callback to early episodes of "The Wire."

That would be cool, but I was thinking of The Animatrix….

Putting a conscious robot on trial for murder is how humanity wound up in The Matrix.

I got the feeling Negan thinks Eugene will be his new doctor — meaning his lie about his doctorates and credentials will bite him sooner rather than later.

Well, now I know where Russell T. Davies got the name "Sycorax" from for his marauding aliens in "The Christmas Invasion."

Turns out IMDb kinda spoiled what happened to Kenzo.

That was probably a good choice, as seeing those things on screen would have been true nightmare fuel.

I wondered if they would have a cameo by a protomolecule version of Kenzo — perhaps as a guide pointing Miller towards Julie — but am glad they didn't mess with the book's ending by inserting a series-only character.

It was interesting how spot-on the loss estimates were for Earth getting hit by Eros vs. later events.

Anything I tell you here would be straight outta Wikipedia, sorry.

Smaller cast, for one thing. For example, in the book the Protogen space station (Thoth) had dozens of scientists crunching protomolecule data streams from Eros; Eros itself had far more "vomit zombies" and other victims than the series tried to show, and so on.

Well, since the Nauvoo wasn't in fact destroyed, it's still by far the biggest spaceship ever built by Mankind — it'll probably appear again sooner or later.

After meeting the protomolecule, the laws of physics sat in a non-euclidean corner, rocking slowly and muttering "make it stop…make it stop."
