They use an incredible number of off the shelf shower grab bars I recognize from Home Depot in the interior of pretty much every ship. I find things like that a bit distracting.
- lovegoblin 5y agoThis is true of every show, though. You just happen to know what those specific shower bars look like.
- kayfox 5y agoI like that they thought about that, in a lot of shows and movies you see ships in space where gravity may not exist at times with no visible way for people to move themselves around under zero-g, so its refreshing when a show puts in the work to create a set that looks usable in space.
- bityard 5y agoThe grab bars on the Zarya also look like something you'd easily find in Walmart: https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/114306main_iss010e25228_hires.jpg https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/114306main_iss010e25228_... Maybe when it comes to something as simple as a grab bar it's hard to get too imaginative in the first place? Once you start _really_ looking for them, you can pretty easily pick out items on a set and go, "oh yeah, that looks like a repurposed so-and-so."
- duskwuff 5y agoThe Expanse uses a lot of repurposed props in general. One of the cryogenic pods in S2 is a roof storage rack for a car. The flight controls in the Rocinante are 3DConnexion mice. I recall seeing one maintenance tunnel with walls covered in laptop cooling pads. And so on. :)
