Not to be a cOnTrArIoN, but I think binging is much more effective in building immersion and having the plot impact you, yadda yadda. I'd be binging this, if I had enough self control to hold off filling an hour with it when I'm bored each week.
Enjoyed the first episode. A lot of exposition, but hopefully that means it's all out of the way early. Was worried about them downgrading the special effects for TV, but it still looked as good as usual to me. 40 minute premieres feels so much nicer than 13.5 minute ones. | |

Yup, love The Expanse - still haven't finished the newest season after getting 3 episodes in and forgetting it was on each week. You can literally just choose to not turn on the next episode and think over what you've seen for an hour or two, maybe peruse a discussion thread online, then jump right back into the story when you're ready. If it's a whole week, I just stop caring about the show and characters over time. Especially if the week's episode sucked. | |

It's like they had one of their more talented writers come up with a very general story outline that was solid on paper, and then handed that to the worst writers they could find to actually flesh out in detail for the show. The thing Curtis wrote earlier about them stopping the fight because Battestar died despite that being the point of the fight is such a great example of why so many scenes flopped hard for me. In the finale, there was another scene where hostages in a van were meant to be a diversion to get John Walker's attention while Karli escapes. John Walker chooses to save the people in the van, Karli escapes, and then no less than ten seconds later Karli is back hopping on John Walker's back as he's trying to save the hostages. It's like the writers continuously forgot what the point of their own devices were throughout the series.
Also, yeah, everything about the Flagsmashers was far and away the worst part of the show. Zero things about them made any sense, from the name they forced from the comics, to the way a fifteen-year-old girl with minimal combat training is slapping people liked Bucky and juiced up Walker. So stupid, lol.
