I just got an ereader and I haven't started the series yet (kinda left some trilogies hanging when I stopped reading much back in the day) but this show is fantastic.  Not sure what my schedule is anymore but definitely grabbing the books at some point.

I don't know much about the books either but from the little I do, I'd say the books and tv show have a good number of changes between them.   Probably due to episode count limits and not being able to show everything as always, but I think they've also changed a good chunk of story to.   Still, I'm ok with story changes if it helps a tv show flow better, I just view it as an alternate retelling of the original novel/book etc.

I recently started on the books, and so far, I think the show changes make the story much better than how it's portrayed in the books.

Before Season 4 even airs...it has already been renewed for a 5th season.

Guess they got a good idea of the size of the fan base by the season 4 reactions and the SDCC news that they jumped on it right away.

Looking forward to this...

 

 

 

This quote from the show runner has me more excited...

Quote

"We’re no longer bound by the archaic content, language, and runtime restrictions you’re constantly forced to deal with on broadcast and basic cable... The shows on Amazon Prime speak for themselves: this is a platform that values complex, layered storytelling, and we’re thrilled to be on it — it’s the perfect home for The Expanse."

Here's a recap of seasons 1 - 3...

 

 

Probably going to have to watch that at some point even though Kevin Smith annoys me for some reason.

Just got around to watching the first ep of season 4, very good start IMO.  Avasarala has the best f'ing lines in the ep.  She's tired of everyones bs and isn't taking any.  I love her character.

Fantastic season 4 BUT, I wish Amazon hadn't dropped it all in one go.. I couldn't resist temptation and now I've got no Expanse to look forward to... :(

 

I've only seen the first ep at this time, but I'm guessing there's going to be a season 5 to look forward to?

Oh sure, I guess so too... but that's like, a year away!

 

Trust me folks, don't binge watch this show, it deserves to be spaced out. ;)

it was pretty much the best thing I'd ever seen on Syfy.  No doubt.

I'm sure if Syfy had the extra money needed they might have kept it but who knows?  Anyway, I'm taking it a little slow and have only seen up to episode 4 so far.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
