No one enjoys the dreaded commute to work, and by 2045, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicts we’ll have robots to do that for us. After all, in the billionaire's vision we’ll be venturing to other planets for our 9-to-5's.
I always felt like when Amazon acquired The Expanse that it was likely Bezo’s fantasy to have an underclass of chronically ill, resource-starved people in space - to serve his interests and make him richer.
I thought the only ones chronically ill while not on actual planets were a subset of the rock hoppers who stayed long-term on moon stations?
e: I mean the guy definitely thought the wrong people were the good guys, but I’ll take twice as many seasons and try not to peer too hard into the sausage factory, thanks.
Early on Tom Jane gets made fun of for his spinal surgery, but I think it was only relevant in that scene because the guys were rock hoppers and they were on Ceres which has more significant gravity than most of the belt. I may have misinterpreted, though.
Oof it’s been a long time but I thought a lot of the OPA had tattoos on their necks to obscure their surgery scars, I thought it was common. Though maybe it’s different between the book and the show?
And is Tom Jane a typo? I don’t remember that character. Omg just googled it. I was like, I think that happened to Miller? But how could Tom Jane be an autocorrect for Miller?? And it’s his actors name lmao

Glad to know I wasn’t off-base.

I think all the belters had health issues due to their height

Oh yeah lol I was having trouble remembering the character’s and I knew him from a bunch of other stuff before the show came out
