Star Wars Day is also Comic Book Day? Getting down my tiny collection to see what I have so I don’t double buy almost covered me in dust bunnies. Also, as I wear a star wars shirt of some sort about once a week, I decided I should put on a star trek red shirt, but I don’t own one. I guess The Expanse will have to do. #maythe4thbewithyou#starwarsday#TheExpanse
@AdamStuartSmith@drmambobob My experience was similar, though IIRC I got to the end of season 4. I admired it tremendously, but didn't actually enjoy it that much.
@mike@AdamStuartSmith@drmambobob I gave up on the first episode. Probably wasn’t fair, but it seemed a bit grumbly-gritty-manly-men do grumbly-gritty-manly-men things… in space! for my taste.
More than a little envious that my #SpaceRocks compadres are down in Bordeaux this week, along with Steven Strait (aka Holden from #TheExpanse), who’s taking a trip on the Novespace Air Zero-G plane today, & a crew of fellow astronauts from ESA.
And as on the Rocinante, a good cup of coffee is needed to start the day 🙂👍
The group consciousness described in Leviathan Falls reminds me of losing yrself in Nirvana, or the Great Link of Odo's ppl in DS9. Haven't reached the end yet, but I can understand how it wld B tempting, desirable.
I wonder if it wld apply only to humanity, or wld cats, etc join in. #TheExpanse#philosophy#bookstodon
I made an orange version of my "mag boot" lights inspired by #TheExpanse for visibility when walking around traffic. Might also be useful when on a bike. Thoughts?
Made these "mag boot" lights (red version with arrow pattern) inspired by #TheExpanse to keep me visible when walking around traffic. Could also work for when on a bicycle/motorcycle/scooter. What do you think?

Something I've noticed about #TheExpanse is how YOUNG it casts the lower, enlisted and/or conscripted soldiers in the respective #mcrn and #unn navies.
I appreciate it, makes it feel less idealized and more grounded.
There is so much hope, and people striving to be better, and to build something better! And also conflicts where all parties feel they are doing what is fundamentally right, from their own perspective!
For the story and people to feel more real, does not take away from any of that... it just makes it even more powerful!!! 😎
@5ciFiGirl yes! I was so afraid going into the show that it wouldn't have anything to latch onto and hope for, or that if it did it would punish the viewer for doing so.
But it doesn't in my view. I like that there's the ability for these people who all feel like what they're doing is right to also interact with each other and shift allegiances and viewpoints and learn more.
I love #AlexKamal and how sweet he is, for example, but he's still a loyal Martian in his own authentic way
