Great show. Pity they didn't continue to make the Belters physically different other than tattoos and the indecipherable patois.

Dude, the money would not have supported that level of CGI in every episode, on top of everything else. In terms of sacrifices, I find that the least egregious thing to deal with.

Like they couldn't cast tall skinny actors? At least that would differentiate them slightly rather than looking like a heavy metal band from the Caribbean.

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
I'd personally rather they cast toward the talent factor than physically fitting the part... I mean... yeah, Hugh Jackman is WAY too tall to play Wolverine, but that's worked out fairly well in the long run.

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
Fun fact: The novel The Martian by Andy Weir was adopted by the authors of The Expanse as a prequel to their series, with one of the novel making mention of a ship named The Mark Watney, out of Mars. So, technically, the film adaptation of The Martian is a prequel to the TV series.

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
Yeah I don't think it undermines the reference, just thought it was an interesting point that he acknowledged it. Apparently in the past he had encouraged the comparison too, so that's what made me think the fact that the movie rights have now been sold made him be a little more careful about the association. Still a cool reference though.

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
I know this thread is kind of dead right now, but I just finished Season 2 and was genuinely moved to tears at multiple points throughout. I was a hard sell on the series before I read the books, but if this season is anything to go by then Season 3 should be GREAT!

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
I love this series so much. My hubby picked up the most recent book for me for Christmas and man, I demolished that thing in just over a week. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how things shake out in future seasons of the show. They've already diverged a bit, but not in ways that break the overall narrative. If they even remotely follow the books' plotline, there is some scary, scary **** coming.

Re: SyFy's The Expanse
From my understanding this comes at the behest of the actress. I think in general Avasarala is fairly different from the books as she feels a bit more elegant in the show, while she seemed more crass and ornery in the books. Both versions suit their medium though
