  She’s even more badass in the books.

    Truth. I thought the show turned Naomi and Holden into twats but they did a pretty good job with Chrisjen. I’m still mad about the Arjun bamboozle. Arjun 1 is best Arjun.

      Yeah those chose weird edges to soften. NSFW Amos less intimidating age batshit? No sir, my boys supposed to be a crayon eater restrained just barely by Naomi, Holden or his love for children.

      I feel like most of it comes from the lack of forced perspective in the show. You never really see stuff from certain characters angles like you do in the book.

      The show could only show a generic third person perspective, you never really got holdens insights from the chapters from his perspective, or Naomi’s from hers. So they kinda blurred together in the show I found.

        This is a good point. We never get that internal monologue from Holden like in the books. In the first season, at least, I feel Ike they stripped out that key component from Holden’s personality where he would talk before he would fight.

      Brian George is a gem. I wish he had stayed as Arjun. That new guy felt so off.

  Seconded. The Expanse is an untapped goldmine of strong characters and weirdness.

    Pity that the actor for Alex had to fuck it up for everyone.

      Damn sex pests. That was so disappointing. He did some damage but hopefully his shitty behavior doesn’t ruin the part of the show he’s not in.

        I doubt the show will continue after this. In the books he continues to be relevant, as the group is separated for…reasons.

  I chose a deeper cut Expanse reference, but in truth I’m Avasarala in public, Naomi in my heart
