Crushing throught this, Just finished Season 3. What a great series.
Oh my. Season 5 may have trouble with its release. Cas anvar has a serious case of creepy pervert assault stuff going on.
I hope they do nothing for season five, which has finished shooting, and scrap him for season 6 with a recast. Recasting him for 5 will delay the season, but would set an example, which would be okay with me although my fan boy self would find the wait unbearable.
Cutting his character would butcher the series.
Why can't celebs be happy with the pussy they get as celebs and become predator weirdos? Oh well. The Screenshots and variety of allegations make his case pretty compelling. Not quite illegal (in most cases? Lawyer dentists may know...), but beyond cringe worthy.
Don't let it ruin the character for you. First off, remember that these are ACTORS we're talking about. Trying to separate the art from the artist and all that.Quote:

A lot of the stories I read about Anvar being inappropriate honestly didn't seem that bad. Asking chicks up to his hotel room? Who hasn't done that? Especially when he was probably used to girls throwing themselves at him. Now while I've never done it to a stranger, I HAVE smacked a few butts in my time with girls I was close to and have DEFINITELY said things that would be deemed inappropriate these days. MOST of us have. To deny that is modern virtue signalling and denying the past. Would I do that now? Definitely not. For one I'm now married, but I've also grown up. I don't find it "appropriate" behavior any more, but I'd be a liar to say I haven't been a brute here and there in the past. Pretty sure we all have. Not cool, but also not that bad either. Especially when it always mutual, often leading to said women pouncing on me.
Anyway, all that is to say, don't let any of these allegations get in the way of your enjoyment of Season 5. Happy watching!
Season 5 trailer released
Seasons 1-3 were some of the best realistic sci-fi that I have seen.
4 was a bunched of tired tropes with contrived emergencies encountered merely to heiighten tension.
Very disappointed with 4 (looked like it had different directors than 1-3).
Trailer for 5 looks good.
We'll said. And that actor who played the villain was terrible. I didn't finish. Hope it comes back to a high level.Quote:

Wooh sick trailer. Season 4 was great on it's own, but more like a western than sci-fi . The source material dictated it. But I have to admit that I think book 4 is one of the weaker books.
Season 5 and 6 will be glorious. Trust me.
Can't wait. I think this is my favorite series.
5days. First reviews are coming in.
Season six will be the last season. Makes sense considering the 30 year gap after book 6. But still sad.
First 3 episodes are great. I'm really looking forward to the rest.
I got into and blew through all the episodes. It got a little slow for me towards the end of season 4, despite being some important shit. Pretty good series.
sent from Utah.
Has anyone else watched the new episodes yet? I didn't think they were on until tonight but last night, I went to re-watch the final episode of season 4 and found the first 3 new episodes of season 5 were available.
It was an interesting set with the crew spread out around the solar system on various personal missions. Getting a look into Amos' past was quite interesting as well. It is much more obvious why he is who he is.
Is Earth screwed due to politicians who refuse to listen to their opposition?
Watched the 1st episode of the new season tonight. So glad it's back.
It's so good. Great "slow" episodes so far. I
And avrasalas acting became better again? I really felt her frustration in the watchtower scene.
Amos being Amos. Paraphrased: Hey old man got something for us?
No.
What did you say?
Gets up and looks murderous: I said no.
Thugs leave.
Edit: and Cas anvar is out for season 6 because of his sexual weirdness stuff. I wonder how they'll do it. He's not unimportant in the books. Maybe draper can suddenly fly ships?
I burned through the first 3 in three hours. It was not great but you can see they are setting the stage for some interesting stuff.
Needless to say it would be rude to get into specifics here
Oh my God. I knew what was coming, I've read the source material, but episode 4 was riveting. Simply the best Sci fi series out there. Or maybe the best series right now? I didn't breathe in some scenes.
Do we discuss content? Or I'll wait with spoilers...
That was an intense episode
Agreed. It was predictable and complete kaos. I think they could have skipped most of the first 3 and got right to it.Quote:

This is the best SciFi show in a long time. Arguably better than BSG v.2.0
Yep ^^^ we just binged the first 4 episodes and we're now anxious waiting ep5. Earlier comments about ep 1-3 being bullshit fluff were also dead on... but things really picked up in ep4. Ava Sarala (sp) is one of my favorite characters of the show, and any storyline with her in it is great. Super well written, and her voice just makes me melt. Hot af.Quote:

It's pretty obvious most of the past personalities are going to end up on the Roci together again. Figure 2 more weeks to pull that off. I could speculate more. But is it not obvious where were headed
I was actually enjoying Tiny's comic relief shtick ....... sigh.
Agreed. But is the UN lady gonna be there annoying everyone this time and is Bobbi gonna get her Ironman suit back?Quote:

The UN lady might end up on the ship. She's got Bobbie and Amos working for her.Quote:

I had forgotten how annoying it is to wait a week to watch the next episode of a show.
Whats next, commercials?
Heh. I like that Amos does not have a moral compass and realizes he doesn't. So he needs his crew [emoji2]
Great character development and acting. I like that drummers crewmen asked inaro the right questions from the book. Food IS an issue.
Yeah. I thought that was brilliant too. I’m also happy to see Bobbi’s Ironman suit return. I’m looking forward to a full on Bobbi/Amos rampage before this season is overQuote:

Also, I might need to re-watch, but I wasn't quite sure if the protomolecule was truly destroyed in that scene, or if the self-destruction of the ship was a diversion. The staement by Marcos to Philip seemed to indicate it was, but that statement seemed lacking in at least emotion if not timing regarding such a key element of his plan/payback for the martian navy ships.
Without giving out too much, at the end, how did she make it to the ship, and the dude froze, what am I missing.
I know she took a shot, but he froze at the door, and she made it a long fucking way??
Add the fact they are in zero G and the bullet is heard clanking as it hits the floor. The new version of the show has indeed gotten rather sloppy with these small details that really made it all seem more real.Quote:

I think it’s because that other dude is in like three or four episodes and she’s one of the original main characters. I believe it is called plot armorQuote:
