title: blacksam: I watched Netflix's 3 Body Problem over two days. It was definitely competent enough to be watchable, but the more I think back on it the less I like it. I haven't read the books, so it's hard to separate some of the flaws in the adaptation from flaws in the source material. Since it was adapted by the Game of Thrones team, it's probably safe to assume it was mostly the former. One of my main criticisms is that it seemed to introduce a lot of different ideas but only very shallowly, which I am going to assume is book -> TV lossiness, but when you do that this aggressively I feel like it makes the whole thing seem like a messy pile of absurdity. Another issue is that it seems like this world-ending threat can only be solved by a small handful of people who just happen to all know each other already, though (paradoxically) several of them basically do nothing productive until the very end, as obvious set-ups for a sequel. The most egregious issue that I can probably safely blame on the book is the whole Panama Canal thing, which seems like an indulgent excuse to use a "neat" sci-fi concept, but is so over the top and absurd that it could only exist in (bad) fiction. OK, rant over I guess. If you've read the book(s) let me know that you think. #netflix #threebodyproblem #cixinliu #scifi #tv

title: blacksam: I read James SA Corey's new short story How It Unfolds yesterday. It's a very quick read with some interesting (though not fully developed) ideas about future space travel/colonization. It reminded me vaguely of a much more condensed (and less trashy) version of Dennis Taylor's We Are Legion (We Are Bob), at least as it applies to the idea of humanity technologically replicating itself across the galaxy. While I enjoyed the single-serving story, I know Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham had mentioned their plans to work on a new non-Expanse-related scifi project. I hope this isn't what they were talking about, because I want a lot more. #jamessacorey #tyfranck #danielabraham #scifi #fiction

title: blacksam: I just finished watching the final episode of The Expanse. I wasn't super happy with this season in general, because 6 reduced length episodes was just too constraining to tell the story properly, but damn that last episode was good. A lot of shows go out with a whimper (or even a WTF?) so I'm thankful they at least wrapped it up with class. Given how rushed the season was, though, I'm still left a little confused why they devoted so much time to the "Strange Dogs" mini-storyline (Cara and Xan on Laconia). As a book reader I know where it's going, but from the show's perspective it's just kind of a weird non-sequitur. Maybe they have secret plans to adapt the last three books on another platform, but that's my fanboy optimism talking. My inner cynic wonders if it was to leave people frustrated so they'll go buy the books 😃 #theexpanse #jamessacorey #scifi

I was a bit let down that it explained less about the alien stuff than I expected, but it did explain enough to wrap up the story in a sensible way.

Despite the fact that they've decided not to continue the show and adapt books 7-9, they keep setting up stuff for it. Given that this final season is only 6 episodes it will have to run pretty lean, yet they're bringing in stuff about Laconia from the novellas that won't pay off.

title: blacksam: For me, the most interesting piece of future human technology in The Expanse is the ubiquitous “recycler”. It’s a mysterious contraption that you can throw basically anything into (food, utensils, clothing, guns) and it presumably “recycles” them. It works so efficiently that nobody seems to bother to clean or re-use most everyday items anymore. Dirty dishes? Throw 'em in the recycler. Skidmark in your underpants? Recycler. Need to get rid of a murder weapon? Recycler. I don’t bother wondering how any of the alien tech works, because it’s meant to be incomprehensible… but I find myself spending a lot of time wondering how the hell the recycler works. #theexpanse #scifi #fiction #jamessacorey

title: blacksam: Last night I finished re-reading Babylon's Ashes, I was initially pretty disappointed when I heard they were stopping The Expanse TV series there, but upon reflection I think it is a pretty decent spot to wrap up. It pretty much results in the functional end of the Earth/Mars/Belt paradigm that drives most of the series' drama and politics, and in that respect I think if forms a good "ending" to the story, albeit one that leaves some major unanswered mysteries behind. #theexpanse #scifi #jamessacorey

title: blacksam: Hey @[Michael Moceri](/people/edc029a0ae4a01364741005056268def), I've had one major gripe with The Expanse universe, and I feel like you're the person most likely to have thoughts on it here. What I've noticed is a lack of mass surveillance, which permits the crew of the Roci to get away with a lot of their capers. I'm guessing it's omitted as a narrative convenience, but it seems to me like that the techno-capitalist paradigm the solar system runs under sort of screams for it to exist. I'm sure they could come up with some rationalization for it, but since it's not addressed at all in the material it comes across as a "cheat" on the writers' part. What do you think? #theexpanse #jamessacorey #scifi

title: blacksam: I gather from my recent post about sci-fi space combat that there are plenty of people here willing to have nerdy discussions about that kind of thing. There's something that's been at the back of my mind ever since I started reading the Expanse series that doesn't have an answer in the text, and I suspect probably never will, but I think it's interesting to thing about nonetheless. I'll try to describe things well enough that those unfamiliar with the series can still weigh in. WARNING: Some Expanse spoilers ahead, up to roughly book/season 3. In the story, we're presented with artifacts from an extinct alien civilization that once colonized some portion of the galaxy using what appear to be stable wormholes. These wormholes link ~1300 star systems to a central nexus point, such that you can enter a wormhole in any one of those systems, traverse a small pocket dimension of some kind, and emerge through another wormhole in any one of the connected systems using conventional propulsion. It appears that this massive wormhole network was built by sending advance probes to these star systems to construct a wormhole endpoint ("ring gate") locally which then phone home to the nexus point to establish a link. We don't have any direct evidence that these beings were capable of FTL travel outside of the use of wormholes, so I think it stands to reason that these probes were sent from their point of origin at sub-light speed. We also know that the probe which was sent to our system ended up getting stuck in orbit of Jupiter, so it was going fairly slow, at least by the time it got here. I don't know what the average distance between stars is in the Milky Way (and it likely varies considerably by region) but I do know that our closest stellar neighbor is roughly 4 light years away. If we wanted to send a probe there (and have it stop rather than zoom past) then the absolute fastest possible sub-light journey would be about 8 years (assuming half the trip was spent sl…

title: blacksam: Now that season 5 of The Expanse is about halfway done, I have a few thoughts: The show is more beautifully shot than ever. It seriously looks major motion-picture quality, in both the real and digital aspects. The overall quality of the writing and acting is good. However, overall it feels too busy to me, with a lot of switching/juggling plotlines that seems to mess with the pacing. They're not entirely to blame for this as book 5 splits all of the main characters into separate stories, but as a viewer I'd rather they spend more time with 2 or 3 of the stronger elements rather than having each one pushed forward by 10 minutes per episode. For instance, I think it would have worked amazingly to make one whole hour that was Amos' entire journey on Earth rather than getting it parcelled out in tiny bits. Since season 4, one of the things that's worked the least for me are the places where they've added/padded material just to keep certain characters in the story. For example, Bobbie's whole Mars adventure fell kind of flat for me, as did Avasarala's re-election. While Bobbie's was sort of lifted from one of the novellas they both seemed like they were just put there to keep the actors on the payroll, as book 4 sidelines pretty much everyone except the core Roci crew. While there's less of this in season 5 (because the source material gives everyone more to do) I'm similarly underwhelmed with whatever they're doing with Drummer. Like some of the season 4 stuff, so far it really just feels like they're keeping the actor on screen/under contract in an already overcrowded story. Finally, I wouldn't be fully honest if I didn't admit that knowing we're not getting books 7-9 brought to television has somewhat dimmed my enthusiasm for the show a bit. There's so much I would be looking forward to seeing that isn't going to materialize, which is a drag. Amazon hasn't done anything wrong with the show under their run, per se, and they've definitely put a lot on money b…

title: blacksam: EXPANSE SPOILERS: Episode 4 was great overall. I have a couple of comments/observations though. First, is it just me or have they pretty majorly nerfed Inaros' attack on Earth compared to the books? I'm not sure I understand why. They took a giant "holy shit" event from the books and made it, I don't know, less intense. Seems antithetical to TV writing. Second, I wish they had decided to spend the VFX money they've clearly laid out for season 5 when the shot season 4. One of my big disappointments in season 4 is that the robo-Miller on screen was super lame compared to the books. That droid thing in this episode looked fucking awesome. #theexpanse #jamessacorey #scifi #television

title: blacksam: I watched the first three espisodes of The Expanse season 5, and it has me pretty curious about where Camina Drummer is going. Minor book spoilers ahead. Drummer is a character in the books, and an important one, but the Drummer on the TV show is sort of an amalgam between book Drummer and another character named Carlos "Bull" de Baca. Book Drummer is indeed Fred Johnson's security chief on Tycho as we see on the show, and she comes back much later in an important role, but she never captains the Nauvoo through the ring (that was always Asheford), and most of what happens to her in season 3 (like breaking her spine) actually happens to de Baca. I'm not complaining, at all, because I love the character as presented on the show, (and TBH never really missed de Baca) but it's interesting now because they've brought in de Baca in season 5 as Tycho's new security chief (see what they did there?), and seem to have merged Drummer's new trajectory into another book character named Michio Pa. Interestingly, Pa was on the Behemoth as Asheford's XO. In the books, though, she also ends up joining with Marco Inaros' Free Navy. It's an odd change to put Drummer in her place as the way they've set things up, she seems to have a serious hate on for Inaros. Is she going to have a change of heart, or will something completely new happen? I have no idea. Unlike a lot of adaptations of books, I more or less really enjoy the changes the show has made. For the most part they're good, if not for the better, and they keep things interesting as a viewer because of things like this. It probably helps that the writers of the books have been writing the screenplays all along as well. The only potential change I'm dreading is however they end up wrapping up the story three book too soon when the show ends in season 6. #theexpanse #scifi #jamessacorey #television #books

Just for context, if you haven't read the books, the character in question who is more of a "nationalist" than an "evil guy" did the following: Consented to and abetted the mass murder of thousands of civilians Ordered multiple political assassinations Personally murdered someone Conducted/funded a covert, extra-legal bio-weapons program using unwilling/unwitting human subjects Engineered a false-flag operation (which also murdered several hundred civilians) to start a war as a cover/distraction for his illegal bio-weapons program Ordered the use of the resultant bio-weapons on a population of millions So yeah, just a misunderstood patriot.

title: blacksam: Today was the first I've heard of the allegations against Cas Anvar and his expulsion from the cast of The Expanse. His portrayal of Alex Kamal has been incredible, and a big part of making the show as good as it is. It's a real shame that he's a turd in real life. I hope the final season of the show doesn't suffer for his shitbaggery. In different but related news, I found this blog post. While being horribly organizted/written, it puts forward a pretty interesting explanation about Amos' unique psychology by attributing it to a combination of autism and C-PTSD. I'm not an expert in either of those things, but it tracks well with what I know of the character's backstory from the books and novellas, and certainly fits the facts better than sociopathy. The most disappointing thing for me about the news that the series will be cut short at 6 seasons is we'll most likely miss seeing Amos' final evolution, which was one of the most surprising developments in the latter part of the series. Book readers will know what I'm talking about. #theexpanse #jamessacorey #scifi #television #books #casanvar

title: blacksam: I'd say in terms of the TV adaptation, Drummer comes in at a solid number 2 for me. It's hard to predict exactly where her arc is going, as she's kind of a blend of (book) Drummer, Michio Pa, and a dash of Bull de Baca, and at least two of those people go in fairly different directions in the books. Regardless, I think she's a joy to watch and Cara Gee does a great job with the role. https://youtu.be/EWNuBjG4LKg #theexpanse #scifi #television

It's not a fantastically well written book (but that's OK, I love a lot of books that aren't exactly literature), and I almost gave up on it as the story wasn't grabbing me. However, about 1/3rd of the way through, the story reached an inflection point and suddenly became really interesting. I'm glad I finished it. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but the ending made me feel something, which is what good fiction does. Also, the book literally rickrolled me.

However, I like Nick Offerman a lot and I've never seen him in a dramatic role, so I'm giving it a chance.

title: blacksam: I started reading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. The main character's native language doesn't have gendered pronouns, and although they're fluent in languages that do, they apparently also have trouble discerning people's gender. As a result, they refer to everyone using feminine pronouns. I'm not sure if there's an ultimate purpose to this in the story, or if it's just an authorial flourish. For a while now, I've said the best solution to the "preferred pronouns" quagmire is to switch to using a single set of neutral pronouns for everyone, reasoning that in most communication, the subject's gender is irrelevant, and in corner cases there are other ways to denote it. However, I must say that when reading a book where this is effectively the practice (and the author's also not big on physical descriptions) it's confusing as fuck. (This is compounded slightly by the fact that other characters in the book don't share the POV's gender-blindness and do use gendered pronouns, so sometimes a single person is referred to as both "he" and "she" in the same conversation.) I guess ultimately the characters' genders don't matter to the story. Perhaps this is the point the author's trying to make. However, my gender-habituated brain has a hard time forming a mental model of the characters without this information. It makes it a frustrating read, as I'm constantly distracted by the dissonance. So, maybe my idea about pronouns is a bad one. Or maybe it just falls down in circumstances like this. Or maybe the author is just being a pain in the ass. I have no conclusions. #annleckie #scifi #gender #language

encoded: I started reading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. The main character's native language doesn't have gendered pronouns, and although they're fluent in languages that do, they apparently also have trouble discerning people's gender. As a result, they refer to everyone using feminine pronouns. I'm not sure if there's an ultimate purpose to this in the story, or if it's just an authorial flourish. For a while now, I've said the best solution to the "preferred pronouns" quagmire is to switch to using a single set of neutral pronouns for everyone, reasoning that in most communication, the subject's gender is irrelevant, and in corner cases there are other ways to denote it. However, I must say that when reading a book where this is effectively the practice (and the author's also not big on physical descriptions) it's confusing as fuck. (This is compounded slightly by the fact that other characters in the book don't share the POV's gender-blindness and do use gendered pronouns, so sometimes a single person is referred to as both "he" and "she" in the same conversation.)
