@sarahtaber Oh they get more pissed as it goes along

@sarahtaber my only advice is watch it OR read it. The books and show started diverging to the point that I didn't understand the characters' motivation because I was pulling the wrong antecedents.

That means Battlestar Galactica is in the same universe.

@sarahtaber After watching 1 or 2 seasons of The Expanse, I thought Star Trek and Star Wars writers need to watch these battles and take notes.

@sarahtaber Always a candidate for best sci-fi show EV-AR!

@PizzaDemon @sarahtaber I'd say that was very much a subjective thing. I've watched them all more than once and read all of the books, and loved both experiences. No issues separating the two, which do vary. Sometimes a lot.

I always viewed it as being able to pick the element you liked best. Like in the books, Ashford is basically an unlikable one-dimensional character. In the tv show he get way more time and development, and a great actor, and is a beloved character.
