"Expanse" is nice, especially setting, but could be so much better with less talking (which isn't believable anyway) and a faster pace. Comparing it to Firefly

- dagw 10y agoI love the pace of Expanse. It really gave time for the plot and mystery to grow at what felt like a more natural pace. Any faster and it would just feel rushed and forced. For me they could have slowed it down even a bit more and added more scenes of diplomacy and intrigue.
- throwanem 10y agoThe books do.
- mercer 10y agoIs it perhaps more comparable to (new) Battlestar Galactica? I liked how much of the show was just politics.
- dagw 10y agoYea, BSG is probably a more apt comparison than Firefly (that being said I prefer Expanse to BSG). As much as I love Firefly it was essentially a monster of the week show with only a little in the way of larger scale plot building going on.
- mercer 10y agoWell, that's a hell of a recommendation! I'll check it out.
