Creative team have done a great job distilling the books for TV. A lot of changes but somehow have made the books better.
Apparently this last series might be setting up movies to tell the final part of the story (which I read last week)

@kirwan I’m always up for a new book so might be more interesting in that, is the book also called the expanse?

There’s nine books, and a few novellas.
First book is called Leviathan Wakes by James Corey. Pretty entertaining books, with a little more realistic physics, good action and fun mysteries.
Pretty easy reads, with lots of quotable lines.

@kirwan Because I am a sad sci-fi loser, I read the first six books. Series really, really drops off after that.
I struggled after the time jump, but it’s still better than most of the shit out there at the moment.
Ending was good.

@roninwc I liked the look of Invasion but had seen many poor reviews, so was gonna wait until done and binge it.
I can understand why early reviews have been negative, because I have to admit, I struggled with eps 2-4 but 5-8 have been much better and now I understand the first few eps much better with the story and plot being drip fed throughout the eps.
One of those series where the whole is much better than the parts, especially the first 3-4 eps.
I was the opposite. Enjoyed Eps 1-6 which had some great plots and characters but thought it fell away badly after that and the whole thing, esp. the action scenes, became really repetitive and unoriginal.
Fair call and I wouldn't disagree.
Waiting on Friday for the last episode to drop and then will binge the last two back to back.
I guess I was disappointed as the first 5 or 6 episodes were really really good and original. Just hope it picks up and gets back on track.
OK watched Ep. 10. Not bad but you get the feeling this was originally meant to be 6-8 episodes and they puffed it out to 10.
Will watch the next series if they make one but just hope they go for quality rather than length.

I started the UK Office, plenty was mirrored so much on the US version, although I think they toned down some of the stuff on the US version.
Also gonna have a crack at Fawlty Towers after finishing Father Ted.

Who is the old guy Cobra Kai bring in? I don't recall him in the originals.

He was in III, so probably easily forgotten. A Vietnam buddy of Kreese's named Terry Silver.

Great character. He’ll be fun to watch again !
The actor who played him is only a year older than Ralph Macchio even though the character is at least 20 years older.

I see he was from the 3rd movie. I just watched the trailer and it didn't ring any bells. I mustn't have seen it. Weird because I always thought I had.

If anyone is watching the Expanse, each episode has a five minute short story as an extra. Episode 1's was about Jammer.
If's absolutely fucking buried, I had to pause the actual episode, press something called x-ray, then extras to see it listed anywhere. Awful UI.

@voodoo that's quite funny. It's on STV over here, who only have about 3-4 breaks but they just throw them in randomly, so most of the time a scene gets abruptly cut in half and takes up again after the break. Every show too.
Yeah, that's the same here. Mid-sentence often
