That’s the thing about autocracy. It looks pretty decent while it still looks pretty decent. Survivable, anyway. And it keeps looking like that right up until it doesn't. That’s how you find out it's too late.

Naomi Nagata (quoting James Holden). Tiamat's wrath, ch. 8.

"We were never your enemy"

“If you cooperate with the high consul, you will be treated well,” Singh said. “We are an honorable people. No matter what you think, we were never your enemy.”
Holden’s smile was weary. “Okay.” That’s bullshit, but I’m too tired to fight about it.

Persepolis Rising, ch. 41.

Watching The Expanse for the first time. 4 seasons in. It's not great but it is good, and sometimes very good. Far better than Battlestar Galactica, which I found mystifyingly well received; not in the same class as Babylon 5 – but then, what is.

The shuttle had been a great big hunk of metal when the point defense cannons hit it. Now it was almost certainly a great number of relatively small pieces of metal with pretty close to the same mass moving at very nearly the same speed. They just traded being hit with a shuttle-sized slug for being hit with a shuttle’s mass of shrapnel.

Naomi pressed her hand to her lips. “How long before —”

Probably a controversial take, but imo #severance has jumped the shark in S2. Just over+over adding storylines without resolving earlier ones. But #thexpanse + #forallmankind keep me enthralled even with some of the clunky stuff in #theexpanse (Belter crowds always look fake; James’s wooden acting)+some of the far fetched stuff in #forallmankind (Margo+Sergei will they won’t they; the cleanliness of those lived in space stations). These end times have great TV, for now. 🤷🏼 I’m ill+watch a lot.

I'm on a #TheExpanse rewatch and I still can't decide on my favorite duo of the show.

It's a hard race between either Dummer and Ashford ... or Avasarala and Bobbie.

Both duos are fantastic and have their moments of brilliant banter.
Also, even on their own, both Camina Drummer and Chrisjen Avasarala are awesome characters.
Really hard to decide.
