Seven was too annoying for me to care what she looked like.
Once you decide FTL is possible it actually fixes this problem.... the radioactive glow would have announced them long before they got there...
FTL without FTL detection enables a kind of stealth. Be where your emissions aren't and you start an all new future light cone. David Weber actually deals with this in the Honor Harrington books, with "FTL communications" at first being carried by courier ships for the "FTL" part -- and "FTL detection" in the militarily significant sense being all but impossible -- to breakthroughs in communication technology with major military implications.
Trek doesn't get to use this as an excuse to not post a watch because in several episodes dating back to TOS they ostentatiously announce their FTL detection capabilities when they're being chased. "They're still gaining on us!" Well that's really good to know, isn't it?
Yeah, or the "band of misfits" which worked for Firefly but is by now a worn-out trope. Lost in Space made me care enough about the surprisingly normal Robinson family I'll give Season 2 a shot.It's refreshing to hear that there's a show that doesn't have a dysfunctional family as the centerpiece.
Well I can think of one way, which makes The Expanse even more retarded:I always wonder how people can think that when confronted with a malevolent race's godlike technology that we would somehow either overcome it or master it...
"Guys! Calm down! They left me an instruction manual. Just let me finish real q ..."
"Manual shmanuel. FIRE THE GIANT LASER CANNON!"
