The thing that made me really enjoy The Expanse is how they're constantly thinking about the physics of light speed, inertia, and acceleration, and tying that back into the plot. It makes everything feel so much more real, even if they don't always get it perfect. One example is how the ships always flip and burn retrograde during approaches to their destination; compare that to most any other modern sci-fi, where ships just "magically" stop with "technology".
- izacus 8y agoThere's also so many awesome details. How the crew still wears uniforms with "Tachi" logo. How Alex consistently wears MCRN uniform and Naomi doesn't. How different Mars and Earth ships look inside. How they actually think about debris, richochets and loss of gravity in case of combat. So much drama is driven by physical constraints that are just waved away in other shows and that makes is awesome to watch.
