...someone to make a Yautja protagonist. Elle Fanning shines brightly in dual roles. She's initially rather annoying, but I came around on her in the end. No Badlands is not deep, but it's a fun, breezy ride that dares to be something different to keep this nearly 40 year old franchise going.

... satisfying. Otherwise this was as damn near close to perfect as I could have hoped for, and the kind of hard scifi epic I've been hoping for since the end of Battlestar Galactica.

...series or feature films can continue the adventures of the Rocinante and its crew. This was an effortless watch. My only gripes are a comparatively slow first season, and some real life misbehavior necessitating the removal of a core character near the end of its run in a way I found less than...

...to feel satisfying and bring this chapter to a close, while being clearly open ended enough for hopefully future projects to pick up the story. The novel series is over but for visual mediums, I consider this an ongoing IP. Owlcat's video game Osiris Reborn is in development, and perhaps a new...

It's also a relentlessly entertaining space opera to boot, stuffed to the gills with mysterious alien goo, political intrigue, asteroids being wielded as weapons, betrayal, portals to other worlds, and a few epic battles. While the show only adapts six of the nine novels, the finale manages...

...of the way. They also know how to write women. Naomi Nagata, Crisjen Avasarala, and the incomparable Camina Drummer are some of the fiercest ladies in scifi. The show's emphasis on realism and proper space physics anchors everything in a plausibility that makes it easier to get immersed...

The Expanse is a slapper. I'm only halfway through, but I can tell this will be a tough one to let go of. But there's three more books, and two video games to absorb after. Best thing I've seen since Game of Thrones was good.

alien intelligence, you've got political intrigue and Shohreh Aghdashloo swearing at people to shut the fuck up and sit down, youve got some fabulous production values and a truly epic scope, you've got Simu Liu for one episode and like five lines, and some of the best high stakes tension ever.
