So reading this Ringworld book got me in the mood for some science fiction, and I almost immediately thought of The Expanse. It'd been awhile. I'd checked the SyFy On Demand offerings just a few weeks ago and they didn't have any episodes at all (WTFiUWT?), and Netflix had never even heard of it, so I decided that maybe it was time to just go ahead and buy Season One from Amazon. Yes, as a matter of fact I was Jonesing. So I got out my trusty Kindle to see how much Season 1 would set me back, and lo and behold, there was a tag that said $0.00 Watch with a Prime membership. Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. I didn't waste a minute, either. Punched up Episode 1 ("Dulcinea") and got down to it.
It was so good to see Joe Miller (Thomas Jane) again. And the other folks, too, of course, but Joe Miller was always the biggest draw for me.
Q: What's with the hat?
A: Keeps the rain off my head.
Heh heh.
I'd also somehow forgotten that Jonathan Banks had a part in the show, and it is always good to see him. (Although I guess that nothing will ever top his performance as Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.)
I don't know how the SyFy Channel managed to put up this show, given that everything else I've ever seen of their own shows was pretty much total shit, but they most assuredly did nail it on this one.
Now I need to watch another episode. Or two.
