    The Expanse (series)

    So finally started watching this. Just finished season 1. So far pretty good. Feels sort of like a Babylon 5 without the aliens, crossed with Firefly.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    OK... Now caught up in the book(s), so will now go along hand in hand between the series and the books...

    Just starting S6 of the TV series... I'm lagging behind with the books (even though their story line is a tad tighter than the series IMHO).

    And done... Season 6, which was the final one and was kinda rushed, but it wasn't a GoT Season 8 that's for sure...

    Overall a pretty solid scifi affair.

    And it seems we are going to get a Season 7 of the Expanse...
