Concluding one book & burning hard through part of another isn't the optimal way to run a TV season, but #TheExpanse pulled it off admirably

I'm kinda bummed by the realization that spinning asteroids into habitable bases will be harder than we thought, but we'll manage, I'm sure

Lastly, Frankie Adams is my s2 MVP pick. Didn't expect it, wasn't how I'd pictured Bobbie, but she rocked the rolehttps://twitter.com/ExpanseSyfy/status/855076892415799296 …
