I really wish they'd keep making this.
The show or the after-show talks?
The show has a green light for Season 6, you know.

The show itself. I never watch all the other stuff. They do a lot of that with Doctor Who, and it gets a bit much.

@doctor-phibes I have to admit, it took me 3 tries to get past the first 3 episodes of Season 1. It was "What the HELL is going on here?"
And then...it all starts to make sense.
It is truly epic in scope, and with the books all already written, it's not going to lose direction. I just hope that they wrap the story from the last 3 books up somehow.

Amos reminds me a lot of me.
@doctor-phibes Are you saying you are that guy?

I think he's saying that he was molested as a child.

FINISH THE JOKE: A Belter, a Martian, and an Earther walk into a bar. Bartender, he asks the Belter what he wants. The Belter says, “I’ll have a glass of your finest Martian whiskey. Drinking like my enemy lets me think like my enemy.” He drinks his Martian whiskey. Bartender asks the Martian what he wants. The Martian says, “A glass of your finest Earther tequila. Drinking like my enemy also lets me think like my enemy.” So the Martian drinks his Earther tequila....
From Reddit:
The bartender asks the Earther what he wants, and the Earther responds "I'll just have what they're having" and reaches over and grabs the Belter and Martian drinks
The Earther asks for pure water
The lack of punchline is the joke. There is no need to comment on Earth's enemies.
The Earther orders a glass of piss so he too can think like his enemies.

So as not to derail the "What are you reading now" thread.
@bachophile said in What are you reading now?:
Not sure if I want to squander the enjoyment by starting to watch the video series, because I’m still a firm believer in “the book is better than the movie” and although I’ve read the accolades here on the vid version, I still think I prefer to tackle it via the books.
THere's no problem. They are complementary. The authors have said that the video and book versions are like two different tellings of the Batman story. It all goes in the same direction, but there are stories that diverge, and then, converge. For example, UN Undersecretary Avasarala does not appear in the first book, but she's prominent in the first,and subsequent seasons. Some characters are changed, such as Klaes Ashford, who was an asshole in the books, but a hero in the TV series. Some plot lines are clearer in the books that the series, such as the involvement of the Martian navy in things that play big much later on. Characters get moved around, arriving earlier, departing earlier. For example Jared Harris, who plays Anderson Dawes is effectively gone in the later seasons after he became a hot property. Cas Anvar (Alex Kamal) was accused of sexual harassment, and after an investigation, he will not be joining the cast for Season 6. It'll be interesting to see if they replace him with another character (Alex is not being re-cast).
I enjoyed reading one book, then watching the season based on that book. Some things get cut (because they're irrelevant to the story), and some get accentuated because it works better on video.
