So either Ashford (my bet) or Dawes will fill the Marco role, right? They aren't going to introduce ANOTHER rogue Belter-type.

Still curious what's going to happen with Book 4.
Spoiler:
That was what i was thinking when I thought they couldn't finish Book 3 this season. Way too rushed. maybe during production they had a hint that s3 was going to be the end. The end of the last episode has that kind of feel to it.

Not sure about how they handle Marco. On one hand, what you say makes some sense for the show, but Naomi has already told Holden she has a son, and in s2, Fred mentions an OPA faction called "Inaros", so maybe Marco is going to be there.

I was thinking that next season they can do Book 4 and put some of the pieces in place as a set up for what happens in Book 5.

Don't forget the Novellas, but I'll put when you should read them in spoilers.

Spoiler:
You can read "The Butcher of Anderson Station" before or after Book 1.

Don't read "Gods of Risk" until after Book 3 at the earliest.

You can pretty much read "The Vital Abyss" anytime after book 2

"The Churn" is Amos' back story. Doesn't really spoil anything in the books or show, but I think it's best read after Book 4 once you know the character really well.

"Strange Dogs" you should wait until after Book 6.

The fourth book, Cibola Burn, takes place pretty much all on the planet Ilus, or in orbit of that planet. Will that be the same deal here? Is that going to be the battleground and the space version of expanding west?
[Book authors] Ty and Daniel often refer to the story of Ilus and Cibola Burn as kind of a classic Western in many ways. The book Cibola takes place entirely on Ilus. We are there for one complete novel. We are going to tell that story in season 4, sure, but we’re not leaving Earth and Mars and the Belt behind. They’re part of the story, and both of fans of the books and fans of the show are going to see something really interesting and new in season 4.

Finally, how does the show change now being on Amazon as opposed to Syfy?
There are some things that are amazing that we don’t have to worry about: restrictions on nudity, restrictions on language, and restrictions on length to some extent. It’s like we don’t have to jam the episodes into 43-minute boxes if they’re going to spill over into a 50-minute box. There were times in season 3 where I wished that I had been able to put another four or five minutes into certain shows, it would have been great. And we certainly would have done it, and that’s the beauty of being on another platform like this, is that if the material demands it, you can make the story a little bit longer to accommodate it.
would love an unedited cut of the Syfy seasons after all is said and done

Awesome

Spoiler:
Unedited Avasarala language will be almost as awesome as unedited <pick your favorite female character> nudity.

Ended up giving this show a chance and glad that I did. I didn't like the first season very much, despite appreciating instantly the potential of the universe built early on, but the second season has been superb (still need to watch the finale). Show definitely seems to just get stronger as it goes on. Can't wait to watch s3.

Not sure I've ever seen a show where there is more disparity in acting talent, though. Avasarala (sp?), Draper, Amos, Naomi, and Anderson Dawes (my man Jared Harris, possibly the most underrated actor on earth) are all excellent while Holden, Alex, Prax, and almost every secondary actor (like the earther cop partner of Miller who just kind of disappears from the picture w/o much explanation in s1) leave some to be desired. On a related note, show needs more Dawes. Plz don't spoil but am hoping to see way more of him in s3.

...and s3 isn't available on Prime yet. That's disappointing.

FYI - afaik the two posts above yours are not about the TV series, they're about the release of the 8th book, unless of course Amazon is coordinating the two.

As far as when Amazon will have s4, I know they wrapped up shooting last month, but all Amazon has said about release date is "sometime in 2019."

Amazon is telling me that Tiamat's Wrath drops on March 26. The early reviews on goodreads gives the impression that it is amongst the best books of the series.

Pretty psyched for this one!

Has anyone here read the Altered Carbon books? The show on netflix was excellent except for the awful dialogue.

Yup, books are pretty good. I think you'll like them based on the thread you're in and your username. Didn't know it was a show, will have to check it out.
