I know, right?! I'm sitting here and thinking about the cameras in the casino I work at, and they aren't even close to this level of quality. I'm jealous. 

I think the problem with Ashford’s switch and Melba’s lack of clear motivation are both from the same issue: trying to adapt the book to the show. I mean, trying to fit the entirety of Abbadon’s Gate into 7 episodes when the show previously spent 15 episodes on Leviathan Wakes and 14 episodes on Caliban’s War was…

Not quite, and this is why I say it’s better explained in the books. The aliens had no issue with the protomolecule. They were killed off by another alien force or entity that continually invaded their territory.

Between Anderson Dawes, Ashford and Errinwright, this show has done a really fantastic job of enriching the characterization of the biggest bastards in the books. The only exception to this is Melba. Then again, in the books we have the advantage of reading a lot from her perspective, which you just can’t do as…

The protomolecule is basically engineering equipment created by ancient aliens (and I do mean ancient.) In the books it’s explained better, but they’ve mentioned it a few times in the show too. Basically, billions of years ago aliens shot Phoebe at our solar system. It was aimed at Earth, and was supposed to drop the…

This may technically be spoiler-y since they haven’t “processed” Holden’s vision in the show, but by this point in the book they completely explained what he saw, so I’m going to explain it to help alleviate confusion:

***Spoiler alert***

Two things:

Overall this was a fantastic episode, and plays out the climax of Caliban’s War in a most wonderful way. I can’t wait for them to wrap up the loose ends next week and move on to Abaddon’s Gate. If you thought season 3 was bonkers so far, you haven’t seen anything yet.

“I hope Anna gets more to do.”
Oh, will she ever. (She’s still a weak character in the book, but yeah, she has a couple of great moments).

To be fair, Caprica sucked hard. It removed everything that was great about Battlestar Galactica and multiplied everything I found irritating about BSG.

I’m borrowing from the books here, but the hybrids were aimed at Mars. They went dark after launch, which would make them very difficult to detect and shoot down.

I’m not surprised that Heimdall is dead, but goddamn I’m going to miss him. He was the most memorable and badass out of all the secondary characters in the Thor series, and I was really happy to see him get things to do in Ragnarok.

As long as they follow the books, Anna and her wife will turn out fine.

Fun fact: when I was about 13 years old, my best friend and I spent a bus ride home on a field trip discussing Power Rangers. We formed a list of everything that would have to be changed in order to make the show not corny or shitty. When we got to the title of the show, we realized that we had literally listed every…

Oh my God, I would love to hear more about the original game and what changed, or was preserved, when translating the game to the novels and eventually TV.

I can attest to this. I own an 08 Focus. While it is not a good looking car, it’s reliable and drives great. I wanted one of the new Focuses until I learned about their godawful transmissions.

So basically, what you’re saying is that everyone should just give up and play the most overpowered character in the game.

So this explains why the last two albums by U2 have sucked; Bono has finally been absorbed into his own asshole.
