I thought that was a nice touch. Naomi speaks like a Belter around other Belters, but with Inners she speaks normally. It's like black people shifting from ebonics around other blacks to normal English around white people.

Somebody explain ? Why was Ceres in season 6 a handful of shipping containers?
Inaros picked the place clean and left everyone there for dead. Also Ceres' economy collapsed due to the war. It existed to facilitate logistics and trade between Earth/Mars and the Belt/outer planets. That all grinds to a halt after the war starts.

I rewatched it a bunch and discovered I don't like it that much. Julie's murder mystery honestly sucks, the belter accents, Holden's total lack of charisma. And then they start fricking around on Filler Planet...

and he didn't even breathe a word of their treachery. he just took it like a b***h, quit the game and inherited his reputation thinking it gave him street cred with the belters. he was never one of them and he never spoke out against the puppet masters who manipulated him into killing those families

Simple as, right? He's a man with no country.

Why can't earth just kill all belters and replace them with earthlings? If they become hostile again in the future just do the same again.
well, because the politics of genocide are distasteful to everyone except israelites
so, with that in mind, why don't you tell us how you would go about replacing the belters with the takers from earth?
Any war is bound to kill both sides. Ukraine wasn't a genocide during a Holodomor, wasn't a genocide now, but still the Russian Meat grinder stacks Ukrainian corpses
what the frick are you talking about you spaz moron?
what the frick does any of that have to do with the expanse and how you would replace the belters with takers from earth?
If you sent the Earth NEETs into the Belt they would eventually degrade into Belters. Where do you think the original Belters came from? Also the Earth NEETs are useless from a lifetime of NEETing, the show has people in their 50s who have been waiting to wagecuck since they were teenagers. Belters on the other hand have been waging in the mines and ships and factories since childhood.
and Mars "need" belters for their mining but they're also hostile towards inners.
They are allegory to dynamics between developed first world countries & third world countries
The problem is you have a 3rd world perspective. Belters are a bunch of stateless workers like Kowloon.a structured safe trade route not full of criminals and druggies would be better.
The did a solid job with the source material they had
Based
After rewatching the whole show season 5/6 weren’t as bad as I remember but damn they really dropped the ball
Why did this guy just disappear? Scheduling conflicts for shooting?
he died
I don't even remember it's been that long
Fake news, he is still alive
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Harris
Basically yeah the actors schedule didn’t line up then he died in the story
Shame because he's the only one who did the accent properly.
>let's hire some random black and browns to do our faux caribbean space dialect
>what the frick they all sound like shit and are getting dialect mogged at their own Black person accents by an uptight white british man
The first two seasons it was done well
They gave up trying to make real belters after that
Actor doing naomi just gives up.
Sounds normal with the crew but outside of it just exaggerates...slightly
I thought that was a nice touch. Naomi speaks like a Belter around other Belters, but with Inners she speaks normally. It's like black people shifting from ebonics around other blacks to normal English around white people.
Harris is a good actor that's why
>Scheduling conflicts for shooting?
Yup, he landed Hari Seldon role on Foundation which then was told to be the biggest show on Apple TV+
It was definitely a step up in his career
>tfw no Drummer gf
SPIN THE DRUM
>tfw she is qt 3.14 wife material irl
I dropped this show when it became about children being used for alien hybrid experimentation. It was interesting when it was about galactic politics
the only one who missed out is you.
This. I want a prequel series without the blue goo and just focus on space pirate/interplanetary cold war/political intrigue
The last two seasons are complete shit so you didn't miss much.
>show has no budget and ceres looks like a legit palce millions of people live in
>show gets unlimited Amazon bucks and somehow the sets get worse and cheaper

Lazy nu-showrunners that didn't give a shit about the source material
Inaros picked the place clean and left everyone there for dead. Also Ceres' economy collapsed due to the war. It existed to facilitate logistics and trade between Earth/Mars and the Belt/outer planets. That all grinds to a halt after the war starts.
That’s not why that’s pure headcanon
The only good belter is a dead belter.
>belters literally commit a 1000x hitler level genocide
>earth and other planets, who have tons of nukes and shit and could pretty much eliminate the belters within a month, just decide to let the belters stay in charge of everything
writing was shit
nah, more like you're dumb and didn't pay attention.
>redditors defending belters
>on my Cinemaphile?
its more likely than you think
That isn’t what happens at all
imagine being so far gone that you actually get visibly confused and upset that other people arent as eager to mass-kill other people as you are
>nooooooooooooo you have to let some angry belter moron genocide 4 billion people without any consequences for those that enabled him
>you just have to okay!!!
They did have consequences. All those responsible were punished or dead already. You didn't pay attention.
nagata wasn't punished
dipshit
not until the laconia story arc anyways, and holden got punished worse
yeah, it was basically this comic
look up what the two authors look like, and you'll understand why they wrote it this way
Those accents were grotesque
>based and complicated anti-hero with legit motivations
>gets killed off-screen by space bin laden
they fricking did anderson daws dirty
>We need the blandest protagonist in the history of sci-fi - so bland he'd make Gordon Freeman seem like a character from a Dostoevsky novel
>got your back
>jon snow... in space
>You know nothing, James Holden
Is that the guy from Joey?
Nah, he's from RoadTrip
Alright, I’ve seen enough of these threads to give it a rewatch. Might stop at season 5 though.
I rewatched it a bunch and discovered I don't like it that much. Julie's murder mystery honestly sucks, the belter accents, Holden's total lack of charisma. And then they start fricking around on Filler Planet...
>best character in the series is only around for two episodes
it would have been nice... to see an ocean on mars
True, I loved this autist like you wouldn't believe. He should have replaced the dead doctor god dammit.
Why do the Martians address female officers as sir?
>one of the best actors of our times
>reduced to bit parts on obscure scifi tv series
>Mad Men
>Chernobyl
>The Terror
>Morbius
>Robot Chicken
tell me about all the work that could've been that doesn't exist
>Game of Shadows
>Fringe
>Carnival Row
dw they'll cast him as dumbledore
they say sins of the father.
but what about virtues of the father?
This dude's stupid frickin accent made me want to rip my ears off. I couldn't finish the show due to that fact.
He is barely in the show though
I don't like him, or you
Maori Martian Marine Mommy reporting for dutty!
>tfw you will never have hot sweaty martian babymaking sex with her in between missions
Increased the cringiness of the show beyond sustainable levels.
hah gay!
>unironically dindu nuffin
>still gets shit on by everyone for everything nonstop and nobody trusts him
Why did the entire solar system hate this guy so much?
>Why did the entire solar system hate this guy so much?
because he murdered a bunch of belter civies and then went full awol to join them
The ~~*UN*~~ set him up and made him the scapegoat
and he didn't even breathe a word of their treachery. he just took it like a b***h, quit the game and inherited his reputation thinking it gave him street cred with the belters. he was never one of them and he never spoke out against the puppet masters who manipulated him into killing those families
>alienates Mars by being born an earther

Simple as, right? He's a man with no country.
Just finished re-watching the show a few hours ago, I sure as hell couldn't remember that season six only had six episodes.

Sam reason US wont do it with immigrants, to maintain moral authority
Think about H-1B workers and illegal immigrants then re-read your post.
In this case Earthlings would be Mexicans and H1B visas would be getting Mexicans to do American jobs. I mean Earthlings Belta loada jobs
The problem is you have a 3rd world perspective. Belters are a bunch of stateless workers like Kowloon.a structured safe trade route not full of criminals and druggies would be better.
