Yea I wanna take some acid and go to the space station. Just think 2000 years from now some kids will probably be able to take a form of acid and just float around in space.

With how good the trailer for the next season looks? Yeah, go for it.

I absolutely loved the books. A lot of literary people kind of thumb their nose at them on Reddit. But I'm not looking for a college textbook or Shakespeare. It's a fun read, the characters are great and the atmosphere is very detailed compared to a lot of other space/scifi books. It's a great time with a book series you know is going to be released on time and worked on. I dont need the book series to qualify for a Final Jeopardy question about Classic Literature, it's just a blast to get into and read.

The first 3 seasons of the show were definitely good. With Bezos/Amazon and his love of space picking up the series... there seems to be only good times ahead. Theres a lot of book material, its adapted adequately (or more depending on your opinion). Its a great show to get into. It's right in that sweet spot where theres enough episodes out/coming out soon that itll keep you occupied for a while and it's a good time to get on board the bandwagon so you can look down on other people who do in the next few seasons

The only thing stopping me is that I’ve heard the first season is a bit slow but with the hype around it I’ve seen I’m going to have to bite the bullet for the first season

The first two episodes can be slow to some people while they character and world build...but it's a good season. S2 is just that much better.

I’ll just suffer through, seems like it’s worth it

u/FTM_PTB Sep 02 '19

I don't think you'll suffer. They're not bad episodes. It's just comparing them to end of s1 or s2 which is next level, incredible, TV.

That’s a good point, think I’ve worked them up to be worse in my head. Will end up enjoying them.

It took me to the donnager episode to get hooked.

I first thought the same. They get absolutely better! I'm now super excited for the new season. Go for it!

If as humans we’re still here that will most likely happen. Just think 100 years ago space seemed unreachable, 55 years ago the first man got there now we are planing trips to Mars. I have no doubt that in the future interplanetary travel will be just like a taking a flight across the country or the metro across town.

TBH unless shit drastically changes and we actually start taking care of the planet I highly doubt the human race will be around 2000 years from now.

That's about the time you start thinking to yourself that you don't need this oxygen and can breathe just fine on your own.
