  • Made me reread the Expanse series

    I really enjoyed the way they broke down and analyzed TMOG & Live Suit. But these episodes analyzing The Expanse have led me to a full reread of that series too. Can’t wait for TFOB and for these 2 to point out all the things I missed so I can read that book 3 times, too.
