The Expanse (Amazon) [** Spoilers **]

Okay, I didn’t know that. I thought that the some Belters are different based on the conditions in which they grew up or are later affect by gravity, etc in their work.

So Miller and Naomi should like that too?

It would be very interesting if they had been able to do this for all Belters in the show.

Real world problems made them not bother with the height thing and go for the punk look to denote Belters.

Even Miller wasn't Belter looking enough for the books. The closest outside of gravity torture guy was the street protester OPA guy.

They could have just kept hiring skinny 6ft + people but that would put a serious limit on casting. The show was too low budget for any cgi that wouldn't look crap.

The season 1 fx were not great and that's when the belter decision was made.

The protomolecule shots looked poor in s1 too.

I also only realized last night that Fred Johnson is Klyden from Orville. He is equally great as Z in Sunny and Cutty in the wire.

So would would people born on Mars look more like Belters?

there was gravity Drugs that people living in low gravity were meant to get as kids growing up and as adults.

rich people got good drugs, poor people might have gotten cheep drugs, generic versions of the drugs or none at all.

some people would grow up in more gravity than others Mars = 0.375 that of Earth, some stations and asteroids would have more or less depending on the spin

and like people on the international space station work out to build/keep muscle mass, the martian marines trained to fight in 1G

also Belters trained and used drugs when they were moving to the new planets opened up by the gate, but about 20-30% of the could still not survive on the new planets and had to go back to space or died

all of that would affect the height of people in the belt, so very poor people would be tall, thin and week but the rich might not. so it was a clear way for class to be seen who had been poor growing up and who was rich or from earth.

While we're on gravity related developmental issues are Lunarians ever brought up in the books? They would be as affected by low gravity issues as most of the Belters

I think they are Well Wallas on assignment. Not sure if generations live and die there like Mars and the Belt

It has a university too so it must have some permanent population

Yeah. Lower g for taller and weaker, higher g for shorter and stronger. It's possible we might find out the exact effects in our lifetime.

Also why Dwarfs from the likes of Lord of the Rings are short IIRC. Closer to the core.

It looks good but I wish Telltale would stop releasing their games in parts so they can branch out properly instead of having to get every branch roughly to the same place by the end of each chapter.

Aside from the fact Drummer has to survive there's still scope for radically different branches if it wasn't episodic. Just for example, if it was a full game you could decide Drummer allies with Black Sky and part of the game has you raiding Martians around Callisto or you could go with Golden Bough and raid Earthers near Tethys, both branches having unique chatacters and set pieces. But since it's episodic you won't get that much of a choice. It might make the full game version a little shorter overall bu would really increase the replay value.

There was a PSOne star fighter sim-ish game, it might have been Colony Wars, that did something like that with how you went about the previous mission determined what mission you got next that lead to multiple endings ranging from a major victory or a crushing defeat for your side.
