For me, I think the biggest thing that stood out about the plot was that the Navi had to be made into the most cliched native stereotypes to make the plot function, and part of that involved making them closed minded jerks.

Also, not only are the visuals less engrossing on the small screen, you start to get a lot more uncanny valley furry creepiness from the 7/8ths naked Navi on rewatch.

They just keep shipping a new one out each year. Its pretty impressive really.

I still think that if they had made this an animated show, they could have made every belter tall and gangly, and it would have been instantly easier to ID the various sorts of belters. But even so, I loved that Havelok was going to a prostitute to learn the language, even if its sometimes hard to understand what…

Yeah, I was pretty excited. The Roci is basically its own character after a while.

As a book reader, the show is pretty faithful, while being faster paced.... the first novel took a while to establish the setting, get you used to Belter Cant, and was entirely split between Miller and Holden’s POV.

Both of those shows also felt like writers were trying to cram the ideas from another show into the format of Star Gate and BSG too, and the comparison made them more frustrating to watch than if they had been Whoops: We’re Stuck on a Spaceship and AI: It’s Probably a Bad Idea.

Yeah.... the weakness of the villain allows for a rather instant resolution of the problem too. A less soft hearted hero would have solved the problem within the first 30 minutes.

Oh man.... I totally saw that one when it first aired too.

Me too. Hopefully they had skilled spider wranglers.

Recasting is always a possibility.... it was the late 90s, we had caustic brunettes everywhere. Certainly one springs to mind.

I had the image in my head of it being more like the Chrysler building with big ole engines. But this Donnager is also fine, just maybe not as long as I expected.

Very true... I honestly don’t have much memory of him in it, since I was mostly just excited to see Hellboy fighting various faerie monsters.

I think its a combination of lighting and not spending a lot of time giving us non-combat looks at the ship. Battlestar did the same style of camera work, but I generally understood what their ships looked like.

He seems like a really fun guy.

Of all the problems with MIB II, this burned me the most. I felt like they could have had a perfectly fine movie with J and L as somewhat platonic partners and still give Smith the chance to romance the Lady of the Movie.

Hellboy had more chemistry with his boss anyway

I have been enjoying The Expanse thus far, but my wish is that there is a bit more time for the setting to breath a little before everything blows up (that, and some subtitles for the Belter cant).

Only one man can stop him.

I was thinking it was a recent anime... these people worked on some giant mobile base that was like, a huge sphere? There’s so much anime these days, if I don’t save a trailer to my youtube channel I’ll forget all about it if it’s not on Crunchyroll.
