I've been binging the Expanse.
I'm up to date on the books, so this is just kind of delightful.
I'm in Season 2. And fucking Fred Johnson, the Butcher of Anderson Station, just spaced a fucker without blinking.
Even Amos would blink.

I dunno that I agree with that assessment of Amos' blinking habits, unless there some sort of like... discharge that came back at him...
ReplyDeleteRevision: Amos would blink while killing the guy.
ReplyDeleteBecause for Amos, blinking is just another bodily function.
Okay, that's fair. Maybe something like "Amos might blink while killing you, just like how he might blink while breathing, laughing, or smiling that empty smile that doesn't mean you are safe."
ReplyDeleteFred Johnson, though. Mother fucking Fred Johnson. I'm really liking him in the show.
ReplyDeleteI should get around to watching it at some point... What service are you watching it on?
ReplyDeleteAmazon.
ReplyDeleteWe've got Miller -- fucking Miller -- talking to asshole scientists now. Gee, I wonder what's going to happen.
Holden and Fred Johnson look awfully understanding.
ReplyDeleteMILLER!
ReplyDeleteI like the actor they got for Miller... Holden's actor looks younger than I tended to picture Holden.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this would be hard to watch wthout first knowing the books. I don't know how people binge it without having context.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot going on, and they practice show don't tell, which means it can be hard to keep up, I think.
Bobbie Draper is a gunlugger / chopper with hard + 3;
ReplyDeleteShe might have hard +4.
ReplyDeleteAre you watching it because of me, Matt Johnson?
ReplyDeleteheh. Well, I'm not yet actual started watching it. So no. But i might start tonight since I'm not watching anything else. And that I could credit you for in that you reminded me about it. I tend to forget it since it's not on Netflix and thus doesn't show up when I fire it up to look for something interesting.
ReplyDeleteFWIW I watched the first season then immediately binged the books while waiting for season 2 to come out.
ReplyDeleteScientist: This prisoner cannot understand anyone is relevant except himself.
ReplyDeleteAmos: How do you ... reach such a person?
...
prisoner in a room, Amos walks in. Look at him.
Amos: Let's talk.
I love Amos so much. He knows what's different about him.
I like Amos more that you probably should like someone who is a... i hate to throw out clinical terms, but i think sociopath is correct from him. But I like how he handles that... in particular I like that he picks Holden to become his "This is what a real human does" template.
ReplyDeleteI adore Amos. The chapters from his perspective were ... hilarious isn't quite the right term, but it's awfully close.
ReplyDeleteHe knows he needs an anchor. Originally, it's Naomi. But, yeah, looking to Holden makes a lot of sense.
I hate Amos because he's a creepy sociopath.
ReplyDeleteI've also never read the books, but pilot guy from mars, and Chrisjen are clearly the best
Amos is rad.
ReplyDeleteJoe Zantek I love your way of identifying the caracters. "Pilot guy from mars" is my quote of today.
