The Expanse Season 5 (minor) spoiler

#TheExpanse season 5

The bit where Naomi jumps into space and her eyes start going all popping out and she goes all red and injects herself to stay alive ...

It's a bit daft, isn't it?

The show - which supposedly does space correctly - loves people hurtling themselves into space.

It's a bit too James Bond for my liking. The chances of success in those situations are so slim. It's just a bit too unbelievable for my liking.

I have my limits, dammit!

Maybe one episode they'll do that space hurtling thing but do it on a motorbike that will land in a helicopter or something.

Also, one thing I don't get. The ships don't have artificial gravity, right? But sometimes it looks like they do have artificial gravity.

And when they definitely don't have artificial gravity, they don't look like their in zero G. They'd have their arms floating all over the place. There's no gravity, you don't need them to fall by your side. In fact, it might take more effort to hold them by your side.

Ya, Belta Lang.

Belta Lawda=Belters Together
It's a rallying cry.

You already seen Camina Drummer, she's got a minor role as the Security chief on Tycho, but she becomes a key character and just rocks!

While I don't love #TheExpanse, my - most likely unpopular - opinion is that it is better than #Babylon5

This is what happened to Cara in Leviathan Falls, the last book of #TheExpanse :
"You know that this stuff can hook itself into your dopamine receptors. Train you up to like whatever it wants you to like."

@staringatclouds Drummer is my favourite Belter, I hope they name a real Belt Mining ship after her!

Leave the Oceans alone, mine the dead rocks in Space instead.
And Unionise those Belters!

This was the problem with thousand-year Reichs. They came and they went like fireflies.

Oh boy! More in-canon stories in the #TheExpanse universe “under the direct supervision and creative guidance” of James SA Corey. The first set of graphic novels for the Dragon Tooth series are beautiful, and would expect more of the same from this campaign.

Another incoming (Peertube exclusive) Space Virgins episode, where we talk about the inevitable Disney buy-out and why American TV is better than British TV.

@DoomsdaysCW don't they have some problems with strange dogs there? #expanse #theExpanse

Kolya's Wonderarium

You know, I hate Pet Sematary and all of that, but theres a #theExpanse plotline in Strange Dogs that hits all the same notes and I kinda love it. It builds up so much in the books. Sometimes in the TV show because they only do the Pet Sematary plot it feels like a relief because in the books its actually so much worse. @bookstodon #amReading #Expanse

You know in #TheExpanse, how come James has about twenty mums and twenty dads or something, but he looks a bit dopey and not like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Buffy Leigh (she/they)

Who in Canada that isn't Amazon sells The Expanse on DVD or BluRay? Full series set preferred.
