In the first Expanse book, Leviathan Wakes, there is a scene where a detective is looking through space port logs.

There’s one ship called The Badass Motherfucker. It’s owned by the MYOFB Corporation (presumably, ā€œMind Your Own Fucking Businessā€).

They don’t elaborate. The detective passes over it and eventually finds the ship he is after. This particular ship and corp never comes up again.

I feel like we need a spinoff covering whatever the hell these guys are up to, lol.

Crowdfund it? Expanse has a huge following. When Bitcoin hits a million I’ll chip in!

Is Luna the Earth moon?

Yeah.

It is the most regularly used name for it other than "Moon"!

Totally agree with you. That would be an spinoff I would watch.

Memories of the Firefly series... I should re-watch that.

I just did. I watched the series and the Serenity movie with my son, to show him that there's more to Sci-Fi than Star Wars.

Also Miller is probably my favorite character in that series... great books.

ā€œI aim to misbehaveā€

One of my favorite parts of Danish culture. Minding your own business is an unspoken norm of Danish society.

I really need to get caught up on these. When the show came out years ago, I binged the books before I watched and now I’m severely behind.

Is the show still going on?

Dang! I didnt know the series was based on a book series.

Gotta check those šŸ’œšŸ’œ

Will help fill the fiction reads time until Lyn releases her scifi novel :)

Such a spinoff would defeat the point

I feel a fan fiction culture starting from this...

Astartes or star wars theroy are bloody good and showcase what can be done..

Okay, get this—the author of the Expanse was GRRM's writing assistant before leaving in 2011 to work on his own series... the Expanse.

EVER SINCE HE LEFT, George R. R. Martin's progress on Ice and Fire has utterly collapsed. There's been nothing in 15 years, and likely nothing to come ever. Meanwhile there's been 9 Expanse novels in that same interval.

Things that make you go 🧐

(And yes, the Expanse is an excellent series... just like Ice and Fire used to be 🧐 )

I would believe that.

Was thinking about the protomolecule today. Does an artificial, formless, agentic, substance trying to trick you into thinking it is alive remind you of anything?

LOL yes! I need a whole spinoff just to follow the Badass Motherfucker crew. Imagine the chaos šŸ˜Ž

Sounds like a chapter out of eve online.

ā€œWhich ship’s yours?ā€

ā€œIt’s the one that says Badass Motherfucker on the side.ā€

Expanse series is so gosh darn good

Watched the series a few years ago and loved it. Listening to the audiobook now ( currently in the middle of #4 Cibola Run) and loving it more.

Obviously a bitcoiner!

Hilarious

why didn't it have enough views? wasn't it the best sci-fi series on tv at the time?

Chekhov said ā€œnever put a gun on the wall if it’s not used in the next chapterā€ … well in Russky of course

The Badass Motherfucker from Leviathan Wakes—how would this mystery ship handle rough seas? Can a Yacht Survive Rough Seas has real-life survival tips—perfect for a ship named ā€˜Badass Motherfucker.’ Gotta back up that name with skills, right?
