Yes, but most of them were things like shortening the legs, growing out the hair, changing their gait, and adding “fidget” algorithms.
Not major cosmetic changes, and as he says a security would still identify him as a sec unit, but making it so the meatbags… Err, humans, are less likely to notice.
ARTs modifications helped, but he did walk around prior to receiving them. ART adjusted his height, how his hair grew, ect, but didn’t fundamentally change his looks.
Its more of the same. I’m loving it, but it definitly different than the books
I don’t agree they look totally ‘non-human’, since they are able to pass as human security consultant with little to no changes to their appearance. Heavily augmented, but human enough to pass with little more than a heavy sweater/hoodie and a cap.
Honestly, i love the way everyone of the Corporation Rim dismisses Preservation, they are a bunch of backwater hippies… and the fact they do have a working and strong economy just shows how wrong the CR is.
Yea, I wish they were both more military look (shorter hair, more armor), and more androgynous… but it was one of the changes i expected to make it work with modern TV.
my wife and I are limiting ourselves to one episode a night, or else we would binge all 6 episodes in one night! we are so desperate that we re-started the series all ready, watching episode 1 after finishing episode 3!
yea, i feel like the ‘humanized’ all the characters, including Dr Mensah and Murderbot, and added more relationship drama… but the changes feel solid, not changes for the sake of change.
yea,
The books are all novellas, with All Conditions Red only being 160 pages, so im not surprised how short the episodes were. I wish they had adapted the first two books, as 8 1 hour episodes, but loving what they did!
yea, the books are great. My wife and i are really looking forward to the introduction of our favorite character ‘A.R.T.’
Yea, its very accurate, a lot of it is word for word, and the character adaptations are great.
They definitely padded it to hit 8 episodes of 45 minutes each (ie, in the books to confirm the map is wrong they all go, including Murderbot, and Mensah doesn’t go on a solo exploration), but defiantly feel more like expanding the world than useless padding.
Basically just my steam lists.
I’m losing track of books, and started tracking them, but games tend to hang around longer, since they take me longer to get through.
That’s great!
Couldn’t work a Chrisjen/Averserala in there?
Honestly, if we had a second we were thinking Amos
Kids name is Duncan Holden Corhen
Duncan (Idaho) (James) Holden.
Nerdy names, without going the “my name is Bond Goku”
the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.
named my kid Holden after James Holden, this is going to be a Day One buy for me… as long as the reviews arn’t absolutely horrible.
I mean, sure? Not really? Language is imprecise, and different peoples in different cultural backgrounds will use it slightly differently, and to me both read as interchangeable. I’m not an expert in this area, nor am I trans, and this is getting into the detailed weeds of gender and human sciences.
“Through transition, a transgender person aligns their gender expression, legal status, and often their physical sex characteristics (through hormones or surgery) with their internal gender identity.”
‘Female’ is a sex, while ‘woman’ is a gender.
Sex refers to biological characteristics like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive anatomy. That’s why we say things like ‘female dog’ or ‘male cat’—we’re talking about biological sex, not identity.
Gender, on the other hand, is a social and cultural construct—it includes roles, behaviors, and identities that society associates with being a ‘woman’ or a ‘man.’ That’s why it makes sense to say ‘a woman wears makeup’ or ‘a man wears a suit,’ but not ‘a male wears makeup.’ Saying ‘a male wears makeup’ sounds off because makeup is associated with gender expression, not biological sex.
yea, there is a disclaimer at the top.
i’m pretty close to that. I’ve not said anything directly pro-murder, but plenty anti-kirk and anti-trump.
I’m not pro shooter, but, as a Canadian, my facebook page is full of political concerns about Trump, and the USA’s decline into facism. I wouldnt expect to be allowed in into the anti-free speech zones Trump is creating.
