TIL The Expanse was a Star Trek show.
They did trek to some stars. Though I guess the TV series was the prologue
“Use the Force, Harry Potter” -Jean-Luc Picard.
TIL The Expanse was a Star Trek show.
Fun Fact: This meme isn’t super far off from reality. The Expanse was filmed in the same studio as Discovery and shared stuff like props and casting.
Just goes to show what a decent crew, cinematographer etc can do. Expanse looked and felt so much better than discovery on a quarter of the budget (probably)

Who’s that Pokemon?
Talia Keyali from The Orville
Also Bortus. Less snark, more gruff.
Where’s worf?
“SABERTOOTH TARG!”
Don’t believe what he says. That prune juice junkie was a merry man.
Gruff yes, but not very snarky. Too stoic and wrapped up in separating himself from his Klingon nature.
If I had a dollar for every time I could map someone from the Expanse on to someone on a Star Trek show … I’d have like eight or nine bucks, which really is a lot.
TBF, Amos doesn’t exactly map to Star Trek very well, all things considered. A little too, well, dark for it. 🥰
Well, the closest I’d go was Tasha. He has that same dark energy and coming from the slums. But Tasha really maps to Miller what with both of them being poor cops from the slums who end up being eaten by goo.
Too soon. My poor Miller and dear Amos in the same comment on stoicism in a dead-end timeline. My heart. 🥲
That’s the thing about Miller, he reaches out, he reaches out, he reaches out, 192 times a second he reaches out to your heart.
Doors & corners, kid. I am that guy.
Doors and corners, and puddles of goo. That’s where they get ya.
Avasarala, one of my favorite actresses and characters of all time. In Star Trek.
Lower right is giving me Jayne from Firefly vibes
I was thinking more chief from BSG.
For those who don’t know, that’s Amos from The Expanse. A great character in an amazing show.
Gods he fucking nailed the character. Psychopathic, no morals of his own, but he knew that about himself and tried to follow people he thought were “good guys”, imitate them.
Here’s some Amos. Anyone who wants a better feel for the character, watch it all, then watch The Expanse. Some of the finest TV I’ve ever seen.
He’s the best example of how a neutral evil guy can get along with the heroes’ party.
And even better once we finally got to see some of his backstory.
Read the novels 3 times, just got to the part where the reporter simply asks, “Baltimore?”, and the whole galley just shut down. The Churn was heart rending, but at least we know how Amos turned out.
Murder Snuggles!!!
