Watching The Expanse makes me extremely jealous that someone was able to trick someone into giving them millions of dollars to visualize their tabletop campaign

Iâm immersed up to my eyeballs in the world of small-to-midsize US businesses and sometimes it is really exhausting.
OPA!

The showâs obsessiveness with small details (except for every single one of its weekly montages, which are all too long by half) is really wonderful. The fidgety little details of property law gave me thrills.
It is the slowest burn.
And as someone who was 21 in the deserts of the American west in 2004, its function as a period piece does something for my soul.
(There was actually a sequence with the young film dorks a couple seasons back against an orange brick wall that had a shot that looked weirdly like a shot in a film I did cinematography for back in 2004 and it threw me for a minute.)

Iâm plugging my confusingly-named Expanse thread: The Expanse: Buttsteroid Miner Tycoon 3D
This latest season was good, but, wow was it way lower-stakes than seasons 1, 2, and 3. I liked the setting and the arc quite a bit, especially Amosâ material, but it definitely felt like this was part 1 of a much larger storyline theyâre setting up, rather than any sort of self-contained thing.
next season is based on the best book in the series
Alex Garlandâs Devs almost seems like a make good for Sonoya Mizunoâs role in Ex Machina andâŚI donât what to think of it. It has lots of things I like: real solid lived-in peformances, beautiful, iconic set design, and a truly batshit wacky metaphysical premise that is almost embarrassing. This takes place in a much more ârealâ world than a Maniac or Legion. Maybe a Chris Nolan-ier Ex Machina? I dunno. In any case I look forward to seeing how far they are willing to take it

I couldnât even watch the last two episodes of that. And there were only four.
that fucking jets-pats game on curb this week, I remember that catch
Altered Carbon season 2 got predictable and the fight scenes were Marvel-like in their cuts so I didnât enjoy myself like I did with the first season, even with Poe being back. Far less male-gazey, though!
yeah, I was having the same experience trying to watch it just now, fell out by the end of the second episode
Critics liked it more though, which I guess is also predictable since the plot was âmore understandable.â
