  Expanse did it amazingly imo, it also adds some realism into a otherwise very fictional story, which makes it somewhat easier to vibe with it.

    Gawwwd, the scene where mid fight there are unsecured wrenches floating around was so beautifully tense.

  Just flip around halfway and start slowing down! Free acceleration / deceleration gravity.

    They actually do that in The Expanse.

      That would be why I brought it up, yes.

    Well, not free. Acceleration usually requires a bunch of energy.

    I guess if you have to do it anyway then it’s a really convenient side-effect.

  They also made amazing computerized wire rigs for the actors they used in conjunction with motion-controlled cameras. The production of the show was super impressive.

  Also - everyone should read the books. They’re fantastic.

  Ty Frank, one of the authors and the Amos actor Wes Chatham had a really fun podcast (“Ty and That Guy”) that did lots of fun deep dives on genre stuff.
