Yeah, I noticed this on Ars Technica, saw who was running it and then lost any interest in the show. I'll give it a fair chance when it comes out but the chance of it actually being good are fairly low, especially now that Discovery has had to resort to full-scale nostalgia by making Christopher Pik...

Yep. They really are trying to copy the Orville now. And when they are not, they're trying to shoehorn in characters from TOS in a desperate attempt to get us to give a damn about the show.

Well we've discovered how Britain can avoid being completely screwed by Brexit now. Just become a massive server farm for European data.

Looks like it helps when a multi-billionaire is a fan of your show.

I heard John Kettley is a weatherman.

Took a break from The Expanse but now I've finished Season 2 and the six episodes of Season 3 are telling me to play them.

I know what you're saying, but I don't believe it's confined to Britain. It's hard to believe that Trump's America is pro-intellectual. I guess we need to hear from people who are in the American public school system on this one though.

Perhaps, but I don't think intellectuals celebrate stupidity on either side of the pond. One thing I do know is that Brits consider 'intelligent people' to be the enemy, and it starts at school and continues into adulthood. Heck, British comedy is practically built around making fun of smart people...

I don't believe that Americans are on average more stupid than Brits. The difference is that in America they celebrate their stupidity, whereas in the UK we at least have the decency to be ashamed of it most of the time.

Since everyone confuses them anyway maybe we could just replace her with the other one.

And I though Scientology was a bunch of dumb s### I couldn't understand how anyone fell for. It really does seem like you can get Hollywood stars to fall for anything.

I stopped with two episodes left. No point in leaving things on the inevitable cliffhanger if the new season starts this week anyway.

So I finally started watching The Expanse yesterday. I'm on Season 2 Episode 8 today. Haven't binge watched anything this hard in years!

I have a Facebook account. I can't remember last time I actually did anything with it. The funniest thing is that one of the main reasons I don't use Facebook is that I find it far too confusing to use, I have no idea who can see what. I have no idea how anyone understands the interface when someone...

I watched the first two episodes and just found myself annoyed at how little regard it has for series canon. I'll probably watch the rest eventually (it's not too much of a slog when the episodes are so short) but I'm not expecting much after such a disappointing Indiana Jones rip-off of a beginning.
