By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I'd not seen anything about this before but it looks interesting ill give it a go.

Interview with Cas Anvar. Some good tidbits there about the political situation at the beginning of the series.

And here I thought this was about the next book in the series. Looking forward to the series for sure though.

OOOOH, I'd almost forgotten about this!

I hope everyone's watching this show, because its great. I read season 2 was just picked up. Episode 5 airs tomorrow!

Syfy just released a bunch of models on thingiverse:

I need those in my life! Episode 4 when the Roci(not yet) blew its way out of the bay was so well done it made me want to read the book again.

Not a big fan of the disguised Rocinante. That's such a small plot point for the series.

I'm startled of how little I remember of the book. I too want to read it again, but my book log is huge as it is!

Putting this one in spoiler tags (episode4):

I just loved the scene where Shed Garvey had his head blown off. Since I remember so little from the book, I wasn't expecting that at all. The silence was something else.

This website is really cool. http://www.syfy.com/theexpanse/enterthefuture/inside

It actually breaks it down with locations and characters on a per episode basis. The map does a really good job at showing the distance relationship between the places as they are constantly changing..... at some points in time, earth and mars are on opposites sides of the solar system yet other times they're right next to each other.

I've been enjoying the show. Never read the books.

I wonder who will be Bobby for season 2? Really looking forward to seeing full Martian power armor on-screen.
