I would buy the blu-ray but the first season cost around $700- $800 on Amazon.

I saw the Japanese live-action version and that was horrid! Disney has the Hollywood live-action rights yet they haven't started producing it. Maybe if Ghost in a Shell does well, they'll start production but then I heard the script Disney has they made the crew all Dirty Dozen types.

I've been watching it. The first season I was a little bored. I think no show should claim to be the next Game of Thrones which usually means it isn't. Watching the first two episodes of the second season, I can say there's hope. The problem for me during the first season that I didn't realize until the second season premiere was I didn't really get what direction this was all heading. So many things going on and not really knowing why. It was basically a lot of setup. Now I can probably appreciate it more since I can see where all the characters are heading... maybe.

A huge Expanse fan right here !

The TV show is based on a series of books. Its called The Expanse written by James S.A. Corey which is in fact the writing duo of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. There are already six books and several short stories and 3 more are to come. If you have trouble following the show you should read some of the synopsis of the books that will help you understand it better. The book and the TV show differ significantly. Some say the TV show is even better than the books.

Yes, its on Netflix since they have a world wide distribution deal with Syfy for this show.

I've rented this movie last night and it was pretty good. Don't expect any drama or amazing CGI action of anything like that. The story is good and it's great that it show case how a one way trip to Mars would look like.

Can't believe no one has seen this or posted about it??


'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' title confirmed to be plural and fans are freaking out
After much speculation, we now know that the title for

is referring to multiple individuals.

Because Jedi is both the singular and plural form of the word, there was a debate about how many Jedi were being referred to in the title for "Episode VIII." Finally, foreign-language posters let the cat out of the bag.

Thanks to the conjugation of adjectives in French, German and Spanish, there is no longer a question that there is more than one last Jedi in the film.

"Star Wars: Los Ultimos Jedi," the Spanish poster reads. If it was referring to one Jedi, the title would have read "El Ultimo Jedi."

But one question still remains: Who will the Jedi be?

The film will follow Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she continues her epic journey with Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Isaac) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in the next chapter of their saga.

We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”

The Texas native, who was nominated for an Emmy for his work in the TV mini-series Hatfields and McCoys, began acting in the 1970s. His earliest acting credits include minor roles in blockbusters such as Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986).

Paxton also spoke with PEOPLE about his latest TV obsession.

“I loved watchingStranger Thingswith my daughter ,” he said. “But I had surgery last spring and binge-watched all ofDownton Abbeywhile I was recuperating. I got so engrossed in it, I was devastated when I got to the end.”
