My younger son has watched the first few seasons of The Expanse (I think he's read the books too, but we've bought him so many Mars books, I'm not positive). He wants us to start watching after he finishes this semester. I'm always heartened when someone here already enjoys a thing someone in my family wants me to watch.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The show really hit its stride in S3, I think - for the first two seasons I was never quite sure if I liked the show because I loved the books or if it was actually good. But S3/S4 were fucking amazing.

Oh, wow, I thought season 1 and 2 were amazing! Note - still watching season 2. I do keep getting confused about what things I saw on screen and what I read because I started reading the books after watching at least some of season 1 so the pictures in my head are heavily informed by the show
Stupid work getting in the way of my binge-watching

Boss: "What are folks going to watch over the break? Besides Jillian rewatching Hannibal, that is."
I am really ambivalent about the idea of a Firefly reboot. On the one hand, Joss' dialog is part of what it made it so memorable. On the other hand, everything about how Inara's character was handled ... okay, all the parts of Joss' id that were on display. I'm not sure how a reboot would move past that.

Yeah, that's a real issue.
... maybe they could hire Javier Grillo-Marxuach? Or John Rogers? They're both pretty good with the dialog and the genre stuff. Or bring back Ben Edlund?

I would definitely trust Kristen with it

Kristen definitely but only is she can still do the occasional 9-1-1 episode.

Well, that episode of The Mandalorian sure did have a lot of battles in it.
Also: Disney, please learn that there are OTHER PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE than the fucking Skywalkers! Oy. I really didn't want that to be Luke, not just because they were going to have to do the CGI thing. But because how much fun would it have been to have Ezra kill a bunch of droids, then drop in through a panel in the ceiling?
