I generally like the show, though some of the sudden plot jumps are a bit annoying. And this past season, I found the whole subplot with the parents manipulating and competing for their son (I’m trying to be a bit vague and avoid spoilers here) tedious and overly long.

I’m not talking about him.
I can already sense Randle’s value in my veins.
It’s happening.
His numbers don’t lie and Team’s Wins and Game back it up.

Knew Your Nicks: Three months ago Randle could be traded for a bag of beans 2 gyros pita and an untradeable albatros contract.
After two months of Not Tanking he has actual value.
The side effects of playing…the right way.
Turning your garbage into Art.

That’s one random dude just talking about trading for Randle. He’s not even reporting on rumors or anything.

Alan: Steven Strait, who plays Holden, is pretty terrible.

Pretty terrible? That’s being generous. He’s about as good an actor as my dog when he tries to convince me it wasn’t him that knocked over the garbage.

geo: ha, it’s early yet (about 3 episodes in) – so, i didn’t want to jump to any quick decisions on steven strait…but, yeah he’s a little sketchy in front of the camera too…

hmmm, i wonder if that’s more on the actor or director…

to me…he was the one real downside …otherwise I really enjoyed all the seasons and seems like the CGI really improved once Amazon got a hold of it…

I think I saw where Strait was like an executive producer or producer…maybe that was one of the perks…slotting yourself in as the lead…he had a reduced role in the last season which was another benefit…

Steven Strait, who plays Holden, is pretty terrible.

Derrick Rose will likely come off the bench for the Knicks when he becomes available to play.— Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) February 9, 2021

At least for now, Elfrid Payton didn’t hear no bell.

This rotation is gonna be a mess for a while.

Jane’s the best actor on The Expanse in the early going. In general, if you’re watching Expanse for the characterization or the acting, you’d best move on to something else. Steven Strait, who plays Holden, is pretty terrible. But the sci-fi parts can be really good, and the show picks up a lot once a lot of the stories start intersecting late in season 1.

Yeah, that’s why I stopped watching it. Jane stood out way too much and I’m not even a big Jane fan.

no question that’s the goal – get to the outer rim…not sure we’d make it there though in the next few hundred years, maybe…

it’s funny, whenever you see a sci-fi movie depicting the future – they are usually way off on the timeline to achieve some of the more amazing technological advances…

yes, i know, the S-A1will be flying overhead any day now…

just glancing at season reviews, looks like the series really picks up steam after season 1…

thomas jane though…really…i mostly remember him from that one punisher movie…not to speak bad of his acting ability, i’m sure he’s won a bunch of awards for his work at some point…but, thomas jane, really…

to be honest, a few episodes in and that’s my general view of a lot of the actors in the show…i do though like the story a bunch (a whole lot better than what The Mandalorian has had to offer)…
