Damn shame. There’s is nit a lot of quality sci-fi/space currently being produced right now worth the time investment.

It’s The Expanse and... what exactly right now?

With the way season 2 kind of puttered along compared to season 1, this was the only character that I was actually concerned about in the followup effort.

Prior to the Hays Code, you had nudity in film. In popular film. Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan's first Tarzan film had full female nudity.

full frontal from the cop lady


Did you notice that we never got a full, squared up shot of her tits?

Think it's a bad boob job or scarring from said boob job?

I think The best moment in the entire series was Season 1 when Tak is being attacked in the lobby and Poe keeps saying “All amentires are available to paying guests”

Have you watched this show at all? S1 was full of lady nudity including full frontal from the cop lady and kovac’s sister.


I remember watching season one & thinking to myself “damn it’d be awesome to see the cop’s tits.” I totally had a mental “frick yeah” when it became that and much more

Raised by Wolves starts on HBO Max in a few days. I'm interested to see how that one is.

They never should have made it about Kovacs trying to hook back up with that freedom fighter chick. The show was much better in the first season as a murder mystery.

This kind of shite is why they made Star Trek into a CGI action crapfest. Smart science fiction doesn't seem to sell anymore.

This is how the books are. First book murder mystery. Later books sci-fi, war, and aliens. Season 2 should have just been a setup for the later ones. It was kind of a mess though or uninteresting.

This was a complete change from the books, and the worst parts of season one involved that. And season two was largely bad because it focused on that only marginally followed the third book of the series that it was supposed to be based on.

Altered carbon was much like game of thrones, when it followed the books closely it was awesome, when it went off book it was terrible.
