Well, sure... But it's not Kung Fury - this show takes itself too seriously.
Considering how great, dynamic and raw the fights in DD were, there is simply no excuse.
It looked like a B-grade "martial arts" 80-s movie with some pretty boy pretending to be a great kung fu master.
Let's say, there are political forces that aim for such a society.
People of Earth in the books have very limited choices. Part of it is the overpopulation and the lack of employment due to technological advances. But at some point you start to understand that the system is rigged and just the political and business dynasties are staying on top and making choices for everyone.
That's not freedom.
Actually, initially I thought it was... Wasshername - the pirate queen from the last book (and the 3rd one).
What, living like cattle under full government control? Exchanging freedom for free food and free entertainment?
No, it's great.
They are both white guys: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/James_Corey_aka_Ty_Franck_and_Daniel_Abraham.jpg/200px-James_Corey_aka_Ty_Franck_and_Daniel_Abraham.jpg
Sure but that'd be major spoilers.
But why wear them in space?
By the way, why do you think a space pilot was wearing dust goggles?
For me Tenant made JJ great.
Based on what?
Well, I'd say it would be a challenge to find an army of freakishly tall actors.
But there are ways and tricks - camera angles and platforms. Yes, they could have made the difference more startling.
I have a suspicion that the series is not about that, though. I mean it seems like it's more about political intrigues, power and oppression than about humanity drifting apart...
I meant he is perfect for the role.
It's not really significant in the pre-Ring era since no one is inviting Belters to Earth or Mars.
- Draper continues to annoy. She is a lot more composed, emotionally stable and menacing (when needed) in the books. This one is an overgrown baby in an armored suit.
- Inaros was mentioned as being present in the tribal council. Which is strange considering how profoundly important this character to one of the Roci crew members.
+ I love the devious Fred and this whole thing with inner political kitchen of the belt. We get a glimpse of that in the last book but, so far, it's a lot more interesting in the show.
+ While Jane remains the greatest casting find of the series, I think Harris (Anderson Dawes), without a doubt, gets the second place.
