Sedai... you've read the books then? I have them on my Amazon wishlist now but was going to ask the group if anyone had already read them. Did you start the books before the series came out?
I read 6 of the books, which was the last one available at the time I was reading them. I really do need to get back to the series and read the rest.
RE: Diffusing the bomb - They addressed this. Someone said they had tamper triggers all over the place. I think it was Naomi who said it, but it might have been someone else.
While Amos and Peaches are probably my favorites from the books and the show, I like many of the other characters a whole lot, and think this show is cast really well.
Keon Alexander as Marcos Inaros. I already can't see Marcos being played by anyone else. This guy just slipped into this role and started completely killing it. The perfect blend of charisma and psychosis. He steals ever scene he is in.
Cara Gee as Camina Drummer. I saw an interview with Cara Gee, and she is a sweet, sort of meek person. Drummer is not meek. Drummer is a bad ass. I love the work Gee is doing on the show, and am glad we still get plenty of coverage on her character.
Shohreh Aghdashloo as Christian Avasarala - The snake lady. I recall seeing this actress for the first time in season 4 of
24. In that show, she was a vicious terrorist, and her voice always sort of unnerved me. I am glad the show went to Amazon, as in the books, she swears like a truck driver, and the more adult format on Amazon allows her to portray this on the show. Really great, complex character.
You guys already mentioned Booby, who also kicks ass - too bad her role, as well as Alex's, have been sort of reduced as of late due tot he source material.
