You know what Trump’s policies will be?!

You nailed it. There has never been a real rebellion in human history that wasn’t morally complicated and compromised six ways to the end of the week, because war is hell and civil insurrection is war where everyone knows everyone and you’re as often as not killing your best friend’s brother.

Anecdotal experience is superior to a complete lack of experience.

Don’t get me wrong, the whole Fall of the Donnager sequence is awesome in execution, for many of the resons you articulate. (I particularly liked the Donnager’s Captain’s nonchalance during the whole battle; “I’m a professional doing a job”, as you say).

Similar experience. I’m not a democrat (though I voted for Clinton), but my SO was involved in the local Young Democrats and they had a mixer at a bar back in early ‘16 that I attended. Free beer, ain’t gonna say no. Anyway, there was a particularly mouthy Pennsylvania native who just knew that Clinton was going to…

Justification for the resistance, both in situ and for posterity, are very important things to secure.

Yeah, so, example number whatever that judges and magistrates haven’t thought about the actual definition of “probable cause” in decades and will rubber stamp just any old request.

McDiarmid was also really great, even if it was even more “large incoming ham!” than Lee.

I adore Shohreh Aghdashloo and Chrisjen was one of the best characters from the novels, but there was something about her performance early on that did not jell for me at all. It was only later when her old friend the UN ambassador to Mars gives her something more substantive to react against (and give some context…

Maybe it was just me but that sequence was played about as low-key as it was reasonably possible to portray it. If they had given the Martian captain a cup of Earl Grey to drink during the battle, it would not have felt out of place. If there was any moment from the Donnager that really came out of left field and made…

But which moments from the show would you nominate? I liked The Expanse season one quite a bit but it was a slow, generally understated yarn with a minimalist style, not given to producing many “big moments”.

Doublefuck your ass, 2016?

To remain motionless on a barca lounger while everything they demand is fed to them with a spoon. If you ever took LSD and wondered to yourself, “Is it possible to eat a Big Mac with a spoon? How would that even work?”, these would be the people to ask. They can also tell you how Christianity and Patriotism go down…

You can’t actually be under the impression that if the US goes tits-up that the Grand Dominion of Canada will get out unscathed, are you?

It’s more that queues are a very Western European/American thing and pretty much nobody else does them.

“Everything I said was true.”

I will say I have been shorn of most of my expectations by having experienced the Internet, but there are occasional surprises. For example, I never expected to read someone advance in seriousness an anti-global warming argument that was mocked viciously and fatally in a goddamn Al Franken ‘90s satire.

A sleeper hold is an awfully strange way for a robot to choose to kill someone. Especially since we’ve seen this particular bot’s murder preferences in action; it involves punching.

But this is the system you agreed to the moment you voted.
