Adam Savage Interviews Naren Shankar of The Expanse!

[@chillinkansai]

Casting for Avasarala and Amos in particular is absolutely spot on. (And two of my favorite characters.)

[@er5is1]

agreed, on Amos anyway. At first I was like no way, but ver quickly realised yes! But Crisjen, whilst well cast, is soooo disappointing because they haven't been able to give her her true personality due to it being a family show :(

[@chillinkansai]

That's true. I am hoping they will eventually full netfix on it and cast caution to the wind :D Then the true Crisjen can shine :D

[@EveyJamo]

Apparently S2 will be unleashing the full brilliance of Avasarala.

[@meermeeronthewall]

Really? She swears a lot for it to be a family show. And it's on cable so they don't really HAVE to restrict her personality.

[@jamesmule]

What did y'all think of Avasarala this time around?

[@StickyTank]

"The Expanse" is my new benchmark for hard scifi :) i LOVE this show and i cant wait for season 2 :D

[@aikighost]

StickyTank “hard” hmm. Not sure I’d class it as hard, lightly fantastical with a call to realism maybe :)

[@lyrilljackson]

it's got traction, it's not hard scifi. most fans are probably nowhere close to grade school level of science knowledge, there's many engineers and some physicists, but not THAT many who has time for watching a tv show or then become a diehard fan. if you actually showel quantum physics equations at the general audience you would be asking to die

[@xBINARYGODx]

Ah yes, when convenient, some people will point to softer things about the show to "prove" it's not hard (but then ignore all of the softness in many other "hard" sci fi properties).

[@lopezalehandro1666]

Discovered "The Expanse" like three days ago and im already through 3 seasons. Great job Naren. Bohot Shukria, Dhanewad.

[@MrBlaineFox]

love The Expanse, started reading the books during my commutes last year (currently on book 5) and got caught up on the show as soon as it went up Netflix, you guys did a fantastic job translating the books to screen.

[@bengardella4412]

Meeting Naren and listening to him tell his story at Gallifrey One this year was a highlight. Thanks for making me feel like a kid again. You can feel the love in this show. I want this universe to go on forever.

[@Swidhelm]

One of the best sci-fi shows I've ever seen, and one of the best book series I've ever read.

[@dstarling61]

Adam, thank you for cheerleading this show. Naren, thank you for bringing Ty and Daniel's work to the screen. Awesome work my freind.

[@Obelixlxxvi]

Been watching Naren's work on Sci-Fi shows since Star Trek days...

[@somebuddyX]

Came here just to hear Naren speak. Reading about him in The 50 Year Mission, such a cool bloke

[@foketesz]

What a great series. The best in a long time. Great cameo, too ;-) Hope Venus brings everybody back in the end...

[@aricalamari]

I adore the Expanse, I can't wait for the new seasons!

[@Blackreaper777]

I'm pretty sure I watched these videos all these years ago and it took me 3 years to actually watch the show.

[@shintsu01]

quite the humble person not trying to claim credit of most of the positive notes mentioned in the discussion. said it before will say it again great series people! cant wait to watch second season. and hope to see more of this kind of movies/series in the future!

[@thedatatreader]

I hope this gets suddenly popular and continues past its First Season ratings, or at least, I hope Amazon picks it up if it doesn't. This was also a fascinating glimpse into the creative filmmaking process. Glad Adam enjoys the series as well. :)

[@sportsreporter6493]

Lynn Raynor is certified badass and just one of hundreds working on the show

[@NickDanzinger]

LOVE THIS SHOW

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

I just finished book 6. I'm *SO* looking forward to season 2, the second half of book 1.

[@Kenneth_James]

Favorite show!

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Love these vids! The Expanse is my favorite TV show going on right now. Wish I could transition into working on productions like these.

[@DemitriX.]

Hyped for Season 2

[@mons2918]

i

[@tpfaff]

NEED MORE EXPANSE!!!! Just finished the newest book.

[@moxica6478]

+T Pfaff How are the books? love the show and I was thinking of checking out the books

[@tpfaff]

Books are very good better than show imo

[@TehScum]

Thank you for showing this, i really love that show. IMO its the best show since Galactica.

[@AceAngelTTV]

I marathoned The Expanse because of Adam.. I've already totally forgot the plot, its like.. Rouge One or something..? Man I'll have to watch a recap before watching next season

[@TheGamingIndian]

The Expanse by the end become intriguing.

[@Wiromax3]

I didn't even know that show existed...

[@meermeeronthewall]

Watch it! You won't be disappointed. If you have Amazon Prime, they have the whole first season.

[@Wiromax3]

Ok, thank you :)

[@MathijsIgnoul]

Nobody else seeing the link with Firefly?

[@meetjaz]

Dude has a Ph.D. in Electrical engineering and applied physics from Cornell.

[@RM_Electrical_Engineering]

ADAM THERES A NEW BLADE RUNNER COMING OUT😆😆😆😆😆

[@garethsmith7916]

Why are they on Ganymede. Are they introducing Prax's plot line? The trailers sure don't seem like it.

[@learpilotken]

What are everyone's idea/hope of Adam's cameo or secret appearance?

[@GreyHulk2156]

Sounds like a very interesting show, but I don't believe we get it in the UK.

[@svr-simplevapereviews]

torrent it

[@st4rbuk]

GreyHulk2 also on Netflix

[@Kernnun]

netflix dude :D

[@Braedley]

There really should be a spoiler warning on this video. Knowing that the first season of the show is maybe half the first book (plus some that wasn't in the book), I would feel spoiled by some of the things mentioned here.

[@awkjosh]

Hi

[@eek9369]

you can fring my bell bell bell

[@fondajames]

still hoping you guys can sell me on seeing season 2 lol struggled to finish season 1, just wasn't feeling it

[@aegresen]

I'd rather sell you on the fact that you need to read the books. Once you get hooked on those, I imagine you'll come back to the series on your own.

[@fondajames]

Kreiger San that's such an overused argument, they should be able to stand on their own quality not rely on the quality of its source. part of the reason to make a book or written story into a show or movie is to bring it to a broader audience. if the version that is meant to be more accessible isn't enjoyable to me then why would the highly detailed version be any better? this is obviously a generalized argument but simply saying that telling someone the book is better isn't gonna work

[@aegresen]

It wasn't an argument towards the books being better than pointing out that the books are a good point to start from. Truthfully, if you need someone else to make up your mind whether you are to enjoy a product, then it's of no use to try really. If you already gave the show a try and didn't enjoy it, then you didn't. The show has received a good reception because it is a fine product.

[@fondajames]

Kreiger San yeah that makes sense, just always hearing Adam raving about it and was hoping he'd give some perspective that would let me see it in a new way and then appreciate it but haven't had that yet

[@aegresen]

It can't be expected of everyone to like everything. It just wasn't your cup of tea. People have tried to make me like Game of Thrones but no amount of head butting has worked so far.

[@awkjosh]

I was the 8th person to watch this

[@AndroidAndr3w]

SPOILERS!!!

[@Astrothunderkat]

Adam, you virtue signal diversity too much. Diversity isn't good nor bad.

[@TheGamingIndian]

Wow! really low views for the quality of the video.. the animation and everything is top notch. Seriously wish this channel gets a LOT of active subs.

[@tracymetherell8744]

I love how they say the ships are characters! I always say when the Roci enters the story the crew gets their superpowers, especially Alex! I have always said the Roci is the fifth crew member.

[@BlueNip]

Wonder if Adam saw the new blade runner trailer. I know he is a huge fan of blade runner especially the gun haha

[@Jussi_Huhtiniemi]

Nice, which episode is Adam going to be in?

[@webdevvy]

[SPOILER for the books] I'd be fun if he's one of the scientists on Thoth station :)

[@DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

s02e13

[@willhendrix86]

Watched Expanse and the desire to play X3TC returned. Its like all the ships and music were ripped out of that game.

[@highoctanefury]

Must fight back inner nerd's desire to point out mistake.

[@webdevvy]

Before the show airs season 2 can we have a spoilercast of Book 1 & 2 of the books ?

[@dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum]

hello

[@inkno701]

Is Adam freaking out for the new Blade Runner movie?

[@DanKetchum007]

In the very first few minutes of the first episode, they said that the people living out at the asteroid belt were short on water. That's just stupid. In frozen form, there's more fresh water on Ceres alone than on the entire Earth. And I can't ignore a stupid premise, no matter how good the show is otherwise. So I stopped watching.

[@STR33TSofJUST1C3]

Perhaps you skipped the part where Ceres is completely exhausted of its water reserves.

[@DanKetchum007]

Again, more fresh water than the entire Earth. Those resources couldn't possibly have been exhausted in a couple of hundred years. Look, I'm glad you like the show. More power to you. But I can't ignore shit like that.

[@mro2112]

You're right. Can't ignore the water thing.

[@TranOfficial]

Mars strip mined all of Ceres' ice for its terraforming project. If that's where you're unable to suspend disbelief, then this isn't the show for you. Spinning Ceres up to an inhabitable 0.3g using Epstein drives would be a more legitimate gripe with the premise IMO. Even if there was plenty of fresh water left, there's no guarantee that Ceres' inhabitants would get unfettered access. Just look at third world countries with bountiful natural resources yet extreme poverty. Geopolitics, corruption, exploitation, and economics are all factors at play here. If anyone knows of other space-based sci-fi shows that respect realism as much as The Expanse, while also delivering on epic visuals and storytelling, I'd love to hear about them.

[@wastelifetakenotes]

and we can’t ignore a stupid reason, so people took time to reply to your comment. give it a chance, fact-checking snob.
