Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Your opinion on The Expanse is a valid and common one. It is a capitalist hellscape. But it's been mentioned already, it's a slow burn and by the second season you get why it took a while to get there. It's an unfortunate cliche that is true a lot - sometimes, you have to get through the first parts, either because of the needed character/worldbuilding, or simply because the show hasn't found its way yet. Don't give up on it.
