I am surprised there isn't a thread on this already.

Probably why I never picked it up. I blame you. Yes. You in particular.

Caught the first ep, and loved it... but I don't have a ton of time for TV. What I do have time for is reading. Working on book 6 now, and the series is bloody incredible.

I can't wait to get into the show. :)

Ahah. Maybe if I read the books, I'd understand what the **** people on the show were saying.

The Belter Patois is a *little* impenetrable in the first ep. Think of it like the chinglish in Firefly. ;)

In that you can largely ignore it, and get everything you need to know from tone and context.

How do you have time to read but not watch TV?

I get that. There are lots of places one can read but not watch TV easily.

Basically, yeah. :) I like to share good TV with the Wife, but she doesn't have a whole lot of viewing time. So I read in bed with her. :)
