The Great Hullabaloo: BOOKS.

[Abraham Smashington]

A little over half way done with book 6. Marco can still eat a butt thus far.

[Martin]

Honestly, Drummer’s role fades, so the result of mixing both is perfect.

[Abraham Smashington]

Good to know but that's a bummer.

[Martin]

Remember one thing about Michio: in the show they made her a tertiary character.

All her beats are integrated to Camina Drummer. Whose actress KILLS it.

[Abraham Smashington]

Ah sweet. Still plugging away on season 3 of the TV show. Just like Outer Range this show's pacing still fucking suuuccks. Like the books are amazing and I know I should LOVE the show but I just don't find myself burning through it like say, BSG. Still digging it but it's a slow go on the TV front. Glad to hear that if I choose too I could burn through the show once I hit book 7. The whole reason I started flying through these is because I did want to finally finish the show without being spoiled on things as much possible.

Also, I don;t know the answer yet (don't tell me please or insinuate yet...) but I really hope Pa ends up being

  Spoiler: spoilers 

a legit pirate queen as she just announced her mutiny in the part of the book I'm at.

I dug that.

[Martin]

Prepare yourself.

Book 7 jumps 30 years ahead.

And none of it made it to TV.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, Marco so far is a bitch.

[Martin]

You mean his dad Marco Inaros, Prophet of the Belt?

[Abraham Smashington]

Finished Book 5 a few days ago. Half way through Book 6. Digging it still. I think book 6 may be my favorite at the moment overall because I really dug the shit with the rings but so far Book 6 is pretty decent. Legit still wanna slap Filip's shit down and kick Marcus in the nuts.

[Martin]

Also pay attention

  Spoiler: Spoilas 

to the Mars stealth shit happening. The opening of the gates means a lot to Mars.

[Martin]

Yep.

That’s season 4 to 6.

But Bull ain’t in it. It changed a bit. Some roles were merged.


Like, most of TV’s Drummer is Michio Pa in the books. But it’s for the better if you ask me.

Man, book 5 is where it’s at. I loved it.

Amos is the man.

[Abraham Smashington]

Book 4 is done. Wasn't bad. I dug that it felt like a completely different series. I liked that whole thing with the

  Spoiler: spoilers 

stargate shit essentially just throwing people to random worlds

and I want a whole movie of that shit.

Half way done with book 5. That reveal of

  Spoiler: spoilers 

Naomi having a kid

and then (at least where I'm at)

  Spoiler: spoilers 

being the second in command of that terrorist mission of dropping asteroids on the Earth because he stole some stealh materials from MArs

and I'm all like dammmmn.

That being said, Martin does ANY of this shit end up in the Expanse show? Like do we even get anything with

  Spoiler: spoilers 

New Terra/Illus or whatever

with that insane security chief?

[Martin]

Book 4 will explain some protomolecule shit. People tend to like that book less, but I dug it.

Peaches is awesome.

[Abraham Smashington]

On book 4 of the Expanse series now. Book 3 was a bit of a slog overall as it was like one giant battle sequence (even though I dug the stuff with Clarissa and Anna) buttttt now that the story is completely changing with what happened at the end of book 3, book 4 starts off fucking awesome and I have a feeling this series is gonna go in a whole new direction which I'm totally down for.

Overall digging this series so far and will continue reading the rest.

[Martin]

Aw yeah!

There’s an explanation for that.
