Gaius Baltar is on Picard and now I have to worry about Cylon Borg hybrids

Compassionately intolerant

From way back, I love the Ultraviolet series. And, while I have had a hard time even wanting to watch Picard, I confess I had the same Cylon thought. And probably always will when I see James Callis on screen.

TCG and I started The Expanse this week. I’m not loving it so far, but I know a lot of people here loved it. So, I’m hoping it will grow on me

It does grow, I think. I wasn't the biggest fan of Miller, so that was a bit of a roadblock.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of his either.

Our wings are not tired.

I watched with two people who hadn't read the books so I had to struggle to not continuously give backstory or say 'but they did it this way in the book'; it was tough.

Thrive to spite them

I started reading the books after I saw the series so that has been interesting to compare and contrast.

The Miller part isn't as interesting, I think things move along better without him.

I still haven't seen the last series. I could probably be ok watching it visually but I haven't tried. I kinda don't want it to end.

I did watch past of Altered Carbon...although there was quite a bit of looking away during flashing lights and stuff. I have been bad lately about correctly identifying actors in certain roles so I was surprised I got what his name from BSG and the guy who played Bobo on Wynnona Earp had the same look so that wasn't hard to pick him out.

I haven't read the latest Expanse story because when I do it will really all be over. So I get that.

Trying to remember how I felt about the early episodes, I think it took a while to really grab me. Miller was never my favorite, no.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I read the first book recently and there was some kind of afterword in there that described Miller's part of the story as noir, which helped me put him in context.
