Impressive. That’s correct.
And the Star Trek lore vs reality also isn’t exactly spot-on, but it’s close enough to be freaky.
And, one could argue, we’re also on-path for the future of The Expanse series, just due to our ongoing ecological disasters.
Massive source of frustration there. The last 3 books of that series were fucking epic and they uber glassed over them in the show. I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate the inherent difficulties, but Laconia could have been the next Caesars legion as far as modern canon is concerned. One lemmings opinion.
As someone who only saw the series, it was obvious how condensed and rushed the final season was. I felt disappointed and wanted a lot more.
Yeah, man. Duarte alone was as interesting and full of potential as a character as Bobby. Also, you get a shitload of time with zombie Amos, in full churn glory. I mean, I don't wanna like spoil it for you because the audiobooks are great if you're not a reader, but the entire story and everything in the series revolves around the creation of Laconia by the Martians. Laconia's whole arc is S-tier space opera shit that would have put bezosbucks to good use, but I digress.
That’s the thing— I want to read the books just to get the full experience, but I don’t want to end up blue-balled on the story/plot again.
It sounds like it ends up that way no matter what.
