For The Expanse watchers...
Feb. 4th, 2021 10:33 amArticle on how The Expanse came to be on television, from MMO pitch to RPG to novels to TV.
No plot spoilers as it was originally published in 2015, to coincide with the premiere of Series 1, but minor setting spoilers for the books and the show. (if you're on to series 4, you know what I mean.)
If you're caught up, there's the Metafilter thread I found the link on, where people are arguing happily in the comments about how the show does or does not portray null-G, gravity from thrust, decompression, etc., which was going fine until someone ignored that everyone had been careful not to mention names of characters when talking about the effects of said things and outright spoiled the end of one of the series 4 episodes by mentioning names. (I flagged the comment, asking the mods about spoiler policies in threads like these. I'd have been pissed if I hadn't caught up with series 4 yet. At the moment we're 2 or 3 eps behind on series 5.)
