Let's decide on some material for next week's club. Should it be more TV? Written material? Other?
I'm still gonna throw out Jodorowsky's Dune as a suggestion.
Also feel free to discuss wherever anyone is at with Cowboy Bebop and The Expanse.

no i was trying to instill a false sense of urgency like FLASH SALE FIFTY PERCENT OFF UNTIL 12 AM PACIFIC and then i'm like, trying to remember what time zone i'm in and how that works and the clock is ticking and i'm missing out on those 18.99 slim 501s from banana republic and i'm also remembering all the disappointments of my childhood at the exact same time and eventually i just pass out, the clock ticks midnight, but it's midnight central so it didn't even matter but my unconscious form doesn't know that the point is, you have all the time in the world. isn't that relaxing?
So I've finished season 1 of The Expanse (the limit of what I can get without paying more) and overall I've enjoyed it. I can see some places where it falls kinda flat and feels a bit like lazy writing, the main characters seem to have trope-worthy plot armor, and at various times it seems a little too convenient that the characters behave the way they do. I keep wondering if that's the source material, or if the TV adaptation is doctoring it that way. A certain element of it seems fairly cliche, too, considering that the rest of the world seems fairly well though-out and has a decent dose of realism.
I can say that's at least somewhat the source material. The books are pulpy and light, and not really going for high drama.
