She is pretty much the best character on the show by virtue of being the best cast actor. Wow what a good choice. I give a close second to Amos.

Also Drummer

Thomas Jane was also fantastic. Same with Jared Harris. Shame they couldn’t secure him for later appearances, his character is great and he did the belta accent so well.

Jared Harris is great in everything.

interesting. I haven’t engaged in any online dialog about the expanse so maybe this is a super unpopular opinion but I felt the actor seemed really uncomfortable with the swearing and didn’t start off as that kind of character and just weirdly changed one episode
Amos on the other hand was incredible. He, Drummer, Draper and Miller really carried that show.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you watch interviews with the actress she’s definitely not uncomfortable with swearing.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I like how every modern Star Trek show just ignores the silly idea that everyone has given up swearing in the 23rd and 24th century.
gregorum@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Most trek shows were on primetime network television. Once they went to streaming, the swearing came back. 
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, but that was said in a movie where they could potentially have sweared as much as they wanted to. Or at least acknowledged that ‘dumbass’ wouldn’t be some shocking thing to a guy in the future.

I laughed out loud when Spock went “OH F…” and then they cut to the title in STNW.

I like the old shows more because everyone acts appropriately to their rank and station. In the new shows a captain can go like “fuck this ima go punch someone and act super emotional and irrational” because that’s what a star fleet captain or anyone star fleet would actually do.
Right

You can hear O'Brien cuss up a storm under his breath if you turn your volume up really loud

Not falling for that Kai Winn jumpscare again…

The lack of swearing wasn’t originally part of the “utopian ideal”, it was in fact censorship from the broadcasters.

The universal translator autocorrect used to be turned up to high. Probably for the best.
mcqtom@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, you’ve kinda just gotta suspend your disbelief. I’m going back and watching House for the first time since it ended, and it is RIDICULOUS, how much these characters don’t swear at each other.
Infynis@midwest.social 11 months ago
She’d make a formidable Badmiral. Maybe they can get her for an episode of SNW
echodot@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Isn’t she Bashir’s mother?

I looked it up. No, but Arjun is his dad!
frezik@midwest.social 11 months ago
She was Commodore Paris in Star Trek Beyond. She might be the (great?) grandmother of Tom Paris.
Infynis@midwest.social 11 months ago
Not as far as I know
Blackout@kbin.social 11 months ago
She sounds like it hurts to talk
hashferret@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So you know she means it.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s what happens when you smoke three packs a day.

She sounds like she came out of the womb actively smoking. And I love her for it.
stephfinitely@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Best actress for the roll

“Double dumbass on you!”

This feels like something that could be brought up on Lower Decks.
Wanderer@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I hate her do much she, almost enough to stop watching my favourite show.
Her voice and her character are terribly grating.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
More expanse crossovers please <3
Madison420@lemmy.world 11 months ago
She’s even more badass in the books.
Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
rosymind@leminal.space 11 months ago
Yeah, I’m almost 40 and I wanna be Avasarala when I grow up
Kwakigra@beehaw.org 11 months ago
Seconded. The Expanse is an untapped goldmine of strong characters and weirdness.
iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Pity that the actor for Alex had to fuck it up for everyone.
Chetzemoka@startrek.website 11 months ago
I chose a deeper cut Expanse reference, but in truth I’m Avasarala in public, Naomi in my heart
