shapinglightI finished watching The Expanse season 2. I'm still going through Stranger Things 2.
Spoilers for The Expanse behind cut.
Still think The Expanse is the best sci-fi series I've ever watched. Not my favourite -B5 will always be that, I suspect - but the best, absolutely.
'Course, they could totally f**k it up in season 3. We'll see. Judging on what we've had so far, I don't think so, but it's all dependant on the source material, of course, and I know nothing about how the story goes in that. I hope, though, that it involves Anderson Dawes getting his comeuppance.
Some really moving scenes in season 2, including the fate of Miller and Julie and the stoic - and heroic - end of the refugees on Ganymede. That scene somewhat balanced out the horrific mid-season scene where other refugees were spaced by their so called rescuers just because they came from the inner planets. Horrible. Naomi's my favourite character. She seems to me an admirable person. But in fact, I like all the characters, even Amos. The only one I'm less enthused about is Holden, but even then I don't dislike him. I'm just pretty indifferent (and unsure why the others call him captain).
Not sure what I think yet about Stranger Things 2. I do like it a lot but it feels more episodic than the first series. Inevitable, I suppose, when you decide on a five season story arc, or whatever. I do like it, though. More about it when I've finished it.
petzipellepingo already linked to this story about Amazon winning the rights to make a TV series based on LotR. I'm not particularly invested in the source material any more so the thought of this didn't make me shudder the way the news that there was to be a Bladerunner sequel did, but even so, :shudder:. I just don't see how it's going to work and I'm not sure I want to.
Speaking of Bladerunner, I did say I was going to make a post about Bladerunner: 2049 and I haven't done so yet. Will try to tomorrow, as I do have some thoughts I want to get down.
