I have to say Sy Fy is doing a dang good job of being faithful to the novels.  

Ty hit this one out of the park.

I like it too. It's pretty good and it has a good noir vibe on top of the sci fy genre that fits the bill with what I read in Nemesis Games. I also like that they uploaded the first 4 eps free on their website! Hope they do the same for the rest.

Yeah, they need to make money somehow

I enjoyed the first two books I've read, even if I found them somewhat thin in places. I'm glad to see they're making changes, like amping up the crew tensions.

First four episodes have been very good so far, especially episode 4. Set design is great, acting is solid. Thomas Jane is having a lot of fun.

BITCHES! I thought to check, just in case you guys are wrong. And you are not. I will have to do something, something bad and I do not like doing it. How is the rest though? Anybody seen it. They are at ep 8 now.

Saw 3 last week. Pretty neat set up, I finally got to see how they named the ship Rocinante. Of course Holden was a fan of Don Quixote. I have no idea what co-op meant I mean 3 fathers and 5 mothers all biological?! How does one do that. And 8 grown ups to raise one kid. I like the idea that Miller got the hell outta Dodge and is on his way to meet Holden and his crew actually, it's been 7 eps and I think about time some of the main characters actually meet! That's all I got.

Hey, Cary, spoil me: Does Miller die this season in the Expense? I think he does cause I didn't read his POV on the 5th book.

Cary

Spoiler

Jent, I enjoy this series. It's a bit of a slow burn. I am not saying is raging good or anything, but I personally like it.

Thanks Cary! I suspected something but I wasn't quite sure. I've seen the 8th ep and saw Julie is umm... alive? sort of? I mean I don't know because, she was full of something. They didn't show what but I suspect she was shutting down everything with power for the same reason the crew was shutting everything down on the stealth ship that they found on the Asteroid. The thingy that Holden said was alive. And it was freakout Some sort of substance that he considered to be a live weapon. I suppose it can inhabit or infect humans (?). Jeez, if seriously freaked me out.

I positively loved Miller's entrance in the hotel where Holden, Amos, Alex and Naomi were looking for the sole survivor "Lionel Pulaski" from the Scopulli / Anubis. Almost cheered that he automatically saved the four's butts I really like Thomas Jane

What I don't know and they didn't specify is who's ship Anubis was? Mars had the stealth tech but it wasn't a ship designed by them, and the Martian's wouldn't have carried that thing around if not take it to their military to study that substance. So I'm assuming OPA. Earth is so far behind these two I have a hard time considering them a threatening entity so far.

Anyway, I still have two eps left, but I am excited for our characters.

 This becomes *very clear* in Episode 9.

Did you have a good laugh at my theory, Cary?! Just finished watching the 9th ep while my soup was cooking. Jeez, I mean talk about how off one can be in speculation. I have officially became supporter of the Belters! I'm not sure I like the Martians.

I don't get it. Nutjob scientist said about substance: "Now it must learn" but learn what and from who? Also, you'd think someone would have blown up that Eros station when leaving, right?!

And we like Amos because no one puts a gun to bosses head. NO ONE. Not even when he agrees with no one and disagrees with boss teehee Of all the dynamics in this crew I think Amos/ Naomi is the most mysterious and fascinating. She has a sense of what is right and should be done, and he completely trusts her for it, even when his own instincts are screaming something different.

I also thought Holden and Miller were radiation dead men walking but apparently it's curable.
NOTE: Holden was presenting no symptoms of coughing like Miller but both got radiated!

I liked the finale, though I must say it leaves so many things up in the air that it feels more like a mid point in the season. The biggest mystery is though revealed. And we see Julie's dad shaking hands with the other face that stirred shit up to push the three powers in our Galaxy to the brink of war. Well done.
