Meanwhile absolute trash fest shows continue to get multiple seasons.

That seems like pure conjecture based on it having low ratings at this point. SyFy wouldn't make a decision on 4th season renewal until next year. It only just got the third.
Yes it's logical if the ratings don't get better it wouldn't continue. But ratings were trash so far this year and it still got another season. Anything can happen. Domestic live ratings aren't everything.

Netflix, Hulu or Amazon ought to pick it up if SyFy cancels. I don't think Syfy channel handles high budget shows well. Every single one of my favorite shows on SyFy channel has never made it beyond a 3rd season. I really hope Expanse is an exception.
It wouldn't surprise me if Netflix picked it up in that scenario, as they already brand it as a Netflix Original in Europe.

Finally show time. Love this show!
OMG LOL Amos.
That pause and then "I don't know".
Interesting stuff with Bobbie.
"We're gonna rebuild this place." Uh huh, sure heh.
Here's hoping. This show is awesome. Also, not that it ever helps since the ratings things don't care but I always feel like us sci-fi fans are underrepresented in these "ratings boxes".

Oh my. Voluntary confession time. Gotta say, I did not see that coming.
Edit: "I'd forgotten how it felt to be fighting for the good guys again, I like it, it's nice!" LOL, love it!
Even funnier since it's that actor lol.

Damn...
But that was a great scene with him and Amos discussing the station.
LOL Alex, now's not the time.
Dat ocean.
Damn, great preview! (maybe even showed a bit too much, heh)
I think it's usually the following day, but not sure.

I thought they were allowing cursing now, the censored Bobbi's "fuck"
Not on Space!
Some very unexpected changes from the book, but still a solid EP.
Dat Ashur.

Subete no aware
I guess using Lake Ontario as an ocean makes sense since the future Earth is apparently a terrible place. lol

Caliban is referring to the deformed human from The Tempest (Shakespeare). I don't recall if they ever say the name of the project, but I'm pretty sure the protomolecule experiments were Mao-Kwikowski and some UN (Errinwright) in the book? Mars doesn't come into play for a long while. The show has pretty much changed the Errinwright character though, among many other things.

yeah, I hope that's not a thing they're going for and it's just Bobby blanking out for a bit, since she did the movement faster.
Nice episode though. Amos and Chen work well together. Not sure if that 'looking through plants' was really a good shot, but it had reason to be there.
Also that totally unrelated "because we can" scene with busdriver (Alex) was beautiful.

What's the consensus on season 2 so far? I saw all of S1 but I'm not sure if I wanna watch S2. Thoughts on how it compares?
Much better, season one was a foundation-laying season for things to come.
This felt like the slowest episode so far imo. It's mostly been great.

Bobbie's was fed all this propaganda about Earth her whole life and it's only when she's actually there she questions her world view.

Yep, the one character the show got 100% right from the books.
Book 2 spoilers
I think Errinwirght is going to still be on Mao's side. They are just working towards it differently for how Avasarala is surprised by the deception and ends up working with Bobbie and on Mao's yacht.

I'm not sold on Draper. She's not as good as the book version, in fact she comes across like a bratty child at times.

She keeps reminding me of Ronda Rousey.

She'll come around.
She doesn't really come around in the books until she starts working with Avasarala and in the TV show we got to meet her much earlier on

That's who she reminds me of! I couldn't think of it.

In a recent podcast the book writers (who are on the show writing staff) said that Draper is one of the majorly changed characters from the books to the show because they want to show the journey of the character and her transformation. When you think about it a bit more it makes sense, it gives a good peek for the audience into some of the side stories they can't really spend time on that help us understand how different Martians are from Earthers, why Bobby may be different from many of them, and the journey her character takes will undoubtedly not only make her character richer but expose some of the side and back stories that are easier to do in book chapters but not so much on TV.
It doesn't help that she's short-changed on scenes. First there was the 3 week gap where they didn't show her at all after introducing her, and then she's left on the sidelines complaining about the ocean or earthers. If she was somehow magically inserted into the return to Ganymede her stock would rise simply through the more intense story.
Goddamn, Amos keeps on killing it. And people of course, but mostly his awesome performance. I also love his interactions with Prax.
Finally getting the story going now on Earth, with Avasarala and Errinwright as buddies. Not sure what to think of that doctor tough, couldn't make out if he was a mental image of Draper, a real and honest guy or one of those guys who offer to take a picture of you and run off with your camera.
Also, why the hell did I think until today that Errinwright was played by Peter Serafinowicz? XD

- Let's Do The Science of The Expanse S02E10 "Cascade" (video)
Three more episodes this season. I would expect S3 sometime during the first half of 2018.
I think the population is like 40 billion people or something...
