A quick comment about The Expanse: Amos needed more episodes exploring his damage. Dude was cold but loyal.
I really liked the extra depth the books added to that character.

And it looks like I'm about to rewatch it now and add it to my "To buy" list. I look forward to being reminded what season the actor who plays James realizes he can do something other than squint

I started watching The Expanse last night and during the 3rd episode a minute and a half ad started and several more were showing for the episode so I said eff it and quit watching. Prime sucks :mad:

He popped up on Chicago Fire this season. Hardly looks like the same guy.

Funny. I watch Prime via the Brave Browser. Other than a brief "commercial" at the beginning of shows, NO ADS. (with Chrome, I get a bazillion ads)

What good is a serialized story without the whole serial? Might as well ditch it all.

If you haven't seen it yet...or want to see it but haven't gotten around to it, "rumor" says it will be leaving around Feb. 1st.

I enjoyed most of it...I'm going to watch it again before it disappears.
I'll unashamedly torrent it then if I want to rewatch it. You can find all the episodes in lossless quality.

I finlly watched ST-Voyager…wasn’t impressed. The Neelix character was cartoonish at best, Kate Mulgrew just didn’t come off as a Federation starship captain…but 7 of 9 :swoon:

My favorite Neelix moment

Almost done with first season. Holden's voice was driving me crazy because it sounded so familiar, but I don't recognize him at all. Finally looked him up on imdb to see where I know him from, or where I know his voice from. The answer is nowhere. Never seen any of the shit he's been in. Then it came to me. Josh Hartnett. The guy sounds exactly like Josh Hartnett.

I suspect the surge of people watching when we thought it was going away made them reconsider paying for the rights to keep it or something.
That could be. In any event, I'm glad it's staying...even if I am almost done with season 6...again. Finished with the series…again. Good show.
