nudge Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 Watched the finale of Season 5 last night. Well, have to say it is sadly the worst season so far, and I was thoroughly disappointed. The pacing was terrible and all over the place, and it had too much of interpersonal drama for my liking (well, really just the dynamic of Naomi-Marco Inaros-their son Filip). The finale covered more things than the rest of the season prior to that, so felt rushed compared to the extremely slow pace of other episodes, but at least it moved the story forward. Hopefully, season 6 will be an improvement.

Moderator Tommy Posted September 29, 2021 Moderator Posted September 29, 2021 Finally found the topic for it. I'm in Season 3. And what the hell. This might be one of the best series I've ever seen. Likeable characters, hateable characters, politics, great action, awesome space scenes, great humour every now and then. I love it.

Welcome to the club! I KNEW you'd like it. Who are your favourite characters so far?
Moderator Tommy Posted September 30, 2021 Moderator Posted September 30, 2021 2 hours ago, nudge said: Who are your favourite characters so far? Holden. But I also really like Amos and Gunny. That actress who plays Gunny looks tough as hell. I bet she could kick my ass in real life.

Inyalowda na kang leta owkwa Beltalowda! Ah yes, Chrisjen is awesome too of course. Great actress too! And Drummer is cool as well. So far where I am, I also like Fred Johnson. Ashford hasn't appeared yet where I am. But should pop up in the next episode or so. There are many likable and cool characters. I also love the fact that they speak creole on the Belt. It sounds so cool, mi pensa!

Also: Quote He also decided that Belters wouldn't use the term "bullshit," because there would be no bulls in the Belt. Instead, they would come up with a uniquely Belter curse, "kaka felota," a term for what happens when your toilet backs up in low gravity and shit floats all over the place. ("Kata felota" literally means "floating shit.") I will also use Kaka felota instead of bullshit from now on!
Moderator Tommy Posted September 30, 2021 Moderator Posted September 30, 2021 Oh and I also like Alex, and I think he has the coolest voice. Shame about the actor being a bit of a wrong'un.

Moderator Tommy Posted October 1, 2021 Moderator Posted October 1, 2021 16 minutes ago, nudge said: I won't spoil anything Yes, please don't. And the thing was Amos was pretty cute. That cameraman asked him why he named that botany thing the "Prax Panels", and Amos tells him that he named it after a person. And then he gets asked if he misses him and he says "He was good company.........he was my best friend in the whole world." It's how Prax introduced Amos to Mei, when they rescued her. Amos must have taken that to heart.

Moderator Tommy Posted October 8, 2021 Moderator Posted October 8, 2021 Just started Season 4, and I think I came across one of the greatest quotes of all time: I like how Amos is impressed by it. That lingo is right up his alley.
