Something about the early trailers for SyFy’s TV adaption of The Expanse set me on edge. I was a fan of the James SA Corey novels and wanted to see them done justice on screen, and on first look I wasn’t optimistic. But I can’t remember what I was worried about now, as an outstanding debut season blew away all doubts. The show returns next month, but before it does, I thought I’d lay out some of my hopes and expectations for the incoming second season.
My lifetime obsession in twelve hours, concluded.
My lifetime obsession in twelve hours, still.
My lifetime obsession in twelve hours, continued.
My lifetime obsession in twelve hours.
I like flags – they look good, and they mean stuff. The nationalist sentiments they might represent, I can leave. But I like the flags. They’re handsome things.
I like sport, too. It’s like real life, but pretend, and better. So while you probably haven’t wondered, what would Euro 2016 be like if it was a flag contest?, I have. And I didn’t stop at wondering, I went and did it – a football tournament, played out between flags. Does it make sense? Is it logical and internally consistent? Was it worth my time and yours? The answers to these questions (no) and more (what are this idiot’s favourite flags?) will be revealed, only in the crucible of competition.
