The Expanse. Or at least an ending to the Expanse that we have. I loved those books so much and they did the series so dirty.
I do accept that the last (I think it was) 2 books don't translate to film very well but at least they could have tried!
Dare I continue? I kind of switched off from it as the main female protagonist went from brilliant bad ass engineer to weak love struck teenager. It was galling. The story was so fun, but I was suffering through the teen drama.
I made it when they went through the thing and made discoveries on the planet. (Vague but failed at spolier tag).
I think what made that so annoying at the time was that by that point we knew the show was coming to an end but the story was moving at a snail's pace. There was less and less time to cover an enormous amount of content and it felt like Naomi's arc was taking way too much time.
Re-watching it later was more enjoyable.
Covered my feelings. Maybe I need to give it another try.
Ya see that's how they did the books dirty.
Without spoilers, the books are kinda written like GoT where they change perspective a lot and in the books she had kinda just seen like 9/11 x 30 and then a little first hand and her best friend react to it in a very unexpected way and say he wanted more... They turned her PTSD into teen drama and when it wasn't wildly decried the teen drama eventually took over everything.
They really do the books pretty well up to that actual point though. And the events that happen do lead up to the main story points for the most part
Fair point and you captured it well. Maybe I need to hold my nose and finish it. Not sure if my partner is ready for this yet though.
