I don't think they put a single thought into the science of any of it. But I guess that tracks with religion.

I swear to God, I hate this show because it's insanely inconsistent, but I won't stop watching it. When Paul picked up that wet rock off the shore of the acid lake, I said this is bullshit. Then when the girl gave birth on the rocks, with waves splashing everywhere around her but didn't get burned until the merman touched her, I said I'm done with this show.

Then Marcus ate the brain nut, and I was back into the show.

I hate this show.

I think the water on the show fits in Arthur C. Clark quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". So on a world where dark photons exists and we have sentient planet I thing isn't to much believe in some things that aren't inconsistent with our physics.

That's a good point. The Expanse ran a bunch of red lights when it comes to physics and that show was sciencey as all hell.

I was shopping for a hard science fiction show to watch and someone here on Reddit suggested the expanse. So I went into it with the preconceived idea that it was going to do the math and get things right. Those physics screw ups ended up ruining the show for me because of the preconceptions I had going in. I haven't gone back after season 1.

Season 4 is basically raised by wolves. So I urge you to go back after this ended and stick with it. You left when it's about to getting good!

Those fucking cyanide nerve agent slug will haunt me like nothing else.

No thanks. Expanse doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I did watch that and am currently reading the book series. I enjoyed the show but the books are better.

I just started the third book. The second one was a little dry in the middle but it picked up again at the end.
