The Expanse

Just finished S2, does this basically become TWD in Space? If so please tell me know and save me the trouble of watching two more seasons. I fucking hated TWD.

Never watched TWD. How would it become TWD in space?

Space Zombies

Only if TWD had biospheres that were taken over/reprogrammed by a "weapon" from an alien intelligence that predated humanity by over 2 billion years.

If you're just worried about a lot of space zombies long term, it's not like that.

It moves well beyond that

Not even close to TWD.

Well it is hard enough to jerk off left handed 5 times a day let alone do it on pain killers muscle relaxers. I thought this is why God (Bezos) made The Expanse, to fill the void.

LOL u got to the part with space zombies and rightly assumed the whole thing would be space zombies.

Sadly, they're about as big a part of the show as the space mormons.

When I hear "another TWD", I hear the complaint about FILLER episodes full of cunty people whining about their feelings.

Expanse don't have enough episodes per season to do that.

S3 is good shit. More consequences and politics with setup, then 2nd half is when shit goes down.

The Expanse has good actors, writing and direction. The Walking Dead has none of that.

I dont much care for Holden and dislike Nagata, but pretty much everyone else is great (most of the time). When I first saw the show, I thought it was over when Miller (Thomas Jane) got killed off in season 2, but things, instead, kept getting better.

Note: contains spoilers for season 3 and 4!

I know this is true, but I can't stand the guy playing Holden. I don't know why exactly, he just bugs me.

He's bad, although he gets better in s4. Naomi though, well...

I agree with previous sentiment - Amos and Murtry killed it this season. Murtry is just a great bad guy - he just seems so reasonable even when he's being outright evil - his bosses probably love him.

I don't get the Holden hate, dude feels just like Shepard from Mass Effect.. Amos is cool because he's a psycho and Holden is a bit more flat but that's just the hero type.. but who can forget this awesome moment?

Burn Gorman was the perfect person to play him as well. He is excellent in those 'complete and total asshole' characters who, nevertheless, do have a point. Murtry was absolutely correct in his initial charges afterall and was pretty broken up about some of his crew being killed.

No, the Earth guy in the security force that was being taught Belter creole by that prostitute and got pinned to the wall by a piece of rebar by that Belter gang.

I can understand disliking Holden as a character as he's pretty unlikeable, but that's intentional I think. Naomi's issue is her actress is pretty weak and it just rarely conveys her competency that the character actually has. Does she ever actually seem like a real badass engineer?
