Don't blaspheme against the first commandment of sci-fi shows.

Stoked. Currently rewatching the first season to refresh.

Great show with quality world-building and fun characters. The mystery held my attention throughout. Never read the books but I'm kinda glad since I can approach this fresh and without expectations. Definitely fills the sci-fi void left after BSG concluded and probably the best Sci-fi network series I've seen from them since (still gotta see 12 monkeys though).
That one sudden decapitation was the first big "oh shit!" Moment for me.

It's funny, I don't think I've ever seen any of his movies, but he is fantastic as Miller.

you should really, really, really, really watch Deep Blue Sea
Searching for a cure to Alzheimer's disease a group of scientists on an isolated research facility become the bait as a trio of intelligent sharks fight back.

Haha I was just digging through his IMDB, loved him in Hung and The Punisher but couldn't remember him in anything else. Deep Blue Sea is a guilty pleasure of mine. Apparently he was also in a movie called Buttwhistle. If that's not rock bottom then I don't know what is.
That was so gnarly, the way his blood was kinda floating/seeping out...
Judging by the later books, I'm guessing not.

The show is absolutely gorgeous in 4k on amazon streaming, hopefully some day they release 4k UHDs. Its a real pleasure doing a rewatch of season 1, I forgot all the small things like the sex in zero G in episode 1 or all the great scenes Miller has on Ceres.

Who the hell are Martians even fighting against? Training exercise?
Hmm I always imagined her power armor to be a little bit bigger and more mech like.
Yeah kinda just looks like a space suit not a death machine like in the books.
But agreed. Best girl.
When does this hit Netflix (AU)?

The constraints of TV budget, I guess.
This, and big bulky mech-suits are cool from a scifi-perspective, but less practical from an acting perspective.

They make specific mention in the second book that it's not big and bulky, but still almost bulletproof. They're designed for ship boarding operations, so if the user can't manoeuvre in tight corridors it's kind of useless to them.

Almost done with my rewatch of season 1, in 4K from amazon streaming it is absolutely glorious to watch. Everything is so crisp and beautiful, especially the space scenes.
The showrunner did a podcast the other day with the Wired Geeks guy, pretty good listen and I didn't know he was a writer on Trek TNG and Farscape. Sounds like the show is in really good hands, hope a lot of people watch the premiere to ensure a season 3.
He also mentioned season 2 will be 13 episodes long and pulls in stuff from book 2 and also the novellas (season 1 also pulled in the Fred Johnson novella). Reviewers have got access to the first 4 episodes of season 2, so beware spoilers on review sites.

Any S2/books spoilers in that podcast?

Currently rewatching season 1. This show surprised the hell out me, it really seems like SyFy went all in on it and it definitely paid off. Inspired me to read Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War, which were both fantastic.
Excited for season 2 to premiere, we're in for some real good shit.

A lot of positive media is starting to pop up leading to the double premiere.
Polygon: Best show no one is watching
The Verge had a pretty positive article as well. Good to see tech sites propping it up a bit before the premiere.

That is awesome. Loved season 1 and expected the same number of episodes for season 2, but I will gladly take three more.

With the Prime deal, will the first episode be up on Amazon the next day or be included with Prime or anything?
Trying to figure out how I can stream this as I'll miss the premiere.
