  1. While Force Awakens is, of course, a Must Buy, I also cannot speak highly enough of the Expanse. It’s the best science fiction TV shiw since Galactica, or maybe even Babylon 5. If you haven’t seen it yet you should get it.

    • So my iPhone corrects all kinds of words I don’t want it to but misses “shiw”, aaarrrgh.

    • I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy The Expanse, but saying it’s the best show since BSG and B5 discounts non-space-based SciFi shows like Orphan Black.

      It also kind of points out the sad, sad state of Space-Based SciFi shows – basically, I don’t think anyone’s making them any more except for SyFy (ugh, physically pains me to even type that) and their production values are horrific, but we’ve reached the point where even their crap productions have CGI that’s good enough.

      The Expanse lost me a little bit when that guy took his helmet off while standing on an asteroid with zero ill-effects. I mean I don’t expect Hard Science Fiction (even from a show based off books that are a clear ripoff of Niven’s Known Space universe), but that was a bit much.
