  1. There is NO way they are enlisting #ThomasJane (Miller from #TheExpanse) as #LeonardMcCoy for just a few episodes. I have a feeling that Thomas Jane and #KaiMurakami (Sulu), as well as some of the #StrangeNewWorlds regulars, will be part of #EnterpriseTheFirstAdventures or whatever they are going to call the next series (apparently #YearOne )...

    Prime Video’s 95% Masterpiece Officially Resurrected Hard Sci-Fi for the 21st Century

    Laila Elhenawy is a CBR Movies & TV writer who examines pop culture with an analytical, research-driven lens. She focuses on television coverage, blending her passion for storytelling with thoughtful perspectives that make her work engaging and insightful.

    Beyond her professional writing, Laila is a devoted fan of TV procedurals, classic sitcoms, and early 2000s rom-coms. She also enjoys hockey, board games, and trivia, all of which reflect her love of strategy, creativity, and storytelling.

    Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:

    When The Expanse made its debut on Syfy in 2015, no one thought it would change the face of modern sci-fi. It appeared as another slow-burn, dark-space drama, destined to be canceled after a couple of seasons. However, it is one of the rare hard sci-fi epics that actually feel exciting and human and entirely plausible. When Amazon Prime Video picked it up in 2019, it already had a strong reputation as television’s smartest space opera. What distinguishes The Expanse is not necessarily the ships or the effects. It is how it resurrects hard sci-fi for the streaming generation.

    Long before “prestige sci-fi” became a thing, The Expanse demonstrates the fact that audiences have an appetite for complications: political intrigue, moral complexity, and world-building that requires your attention. It takes the cold mechanics of space travel, like limited fuel, zero gravity, and fragile alliances, and turns them into compelling high drama. Ultimately, The Expanse is a story about power and survival. The mismatched crew of the Rocinante gets embroiled in a conspiracy that could change the solar system. When picked up by Prime Video, The Expanse becomes streaming’s answer to Star Trek without the utopia. Instead, it leans into realism and hard truths, showing that science fiction can be intelligent, exciting, and, at the same time, painfully relevant.

  3. Still reading

    I'm on chapter 49 now, which is around 91% of the book, and stakes are at stake now

    I feel like some big stuff is coming, send help

  4. People out there who enjoyed the harder sci-fi of "The Expanse" are recommending:

    - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo_(se…
    - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_2…
    - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapol…

    I'll put them on my list to check out.

    Silo: People in a post-apocalyptic world trapped in an underground silo. The world outside is lethal. Or is it? Yes, it is. Or is it?

    Beacon 23: Two people stuck on a dark-matter "lighthouse" at the edge of settled space. Slow-going world-building.

    Extrapolations: Climate future anthology with loads of famous actors.

  5. The ship and the horse are named the same. 😱

    If I didn’t have a reason to be hooked before, I am now.

  6. Looking for a #bookreccomendation if anyone has one. I just finished the #FarseerTrilogy in #audiobook format. Before I dive into the next trilogy in that series I thought someone non-fantasy would be fun.

    I'm told you get more reach using hashtags, so let me say I loved #TheExpanse, #PatrickRothfus, #NKJemisin, #JohnScalzi, #JoeZieja, #JoeHill, #StephenKing and other fantasy and sci-fi authors.

    But I'd also love some contemporary fiction, if anyone has any. #ArthurNersesian is a favorite!
