Let’s go!
That’s how at least 2 sci-fi franchises begin. And it’s bad.
I am not in the know about this. What are they? And what happens?
Only because I'm way too into the original lore, the war, iirc was started over a similar situation to what drew Japan into ww2. Oil resources were diminishing, China had far less available, and the US was happy to deny them theirs, so in 2066, they invaded Alaska. 11 years later, hasta lasagna.
Impressive. That’s correct.
And the Star Trek lore vs reality also isn’t exactly spot-on, but it’s close enough to be freaky.
And, one could argue, we’re also on-path for the future of The Expanse series, just due to our ongoing ecological disasters.
Massive source of frustration there. The last 3 books of that series were fucking epic and they uber glassed over them in the show. I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate the inherent difficulties, but Laconia could have been the next Caesars legion as far as modern canon is concerned. One lemmings opinion.
As someone who only saw the series, it was obvious how condensed and rushed the final season was. I felt disappointed and wanted a lot more.
Yeah, man. Duarte alone was as interesting and full of potential as a character as Bobby. Also, you get a shitload of time with zombie Amos, in full churn glory. I mean, I don't wanna like spoil it for you because the audiobooks are great if you're not a reader, but the entire story and everything in the series revolves around the creation of Laconia by the Martians. Laconia's whole arc is S-tier space opera shit that would have put bezosbucks to good use, but I digress.
That’s the thing— I want to read the books just to get the full experience, but I don’t want to end up blue-balled on the story/plot again.
It sounds like it ends up that way no matter what.
We're not going to get United Ireland in 2024. Star Trek is a lie.
Oh, now, never doubt the Irish. We’ve still got a few months left.
