MODERATORS
She is pretty much the best character on the show by virtue of being the best cast actor. Wow what a good choice. I give a close second to Amos.
Also Drummer
Thomas Jane was also fantastic. Same with Jared Harris. Shame they couldn't secure him for later appearances, his character is great and he did the belta accent so well.
Jared Harris is great in everything.
He really is. He was great as Moriarty opposite Robert Downey jr., and he killed it as Valery Legasov in Chernobyl.
EDIT: He also had a short bit in a show called "Carnival Row", I'd almost forgotten.
interesting. I haven't engaged in any online dialog about the expanse so maybe this is a super unpopular opinion but I felt the actor seemed really uncomfortable with the swearing and didn't start off as that kind of character and just weirdly changed one episode
Amos on the other hand was incredible. He, Drummer, Draper and Miller really carried that show.
If you watch interviews with the actress she's definitely not uncomfortable with swearing.
I like how every modern Star Trek show just ignores the silly idea that everyone has given up swearing in the 23rd and 24th century.
You can hear O'Brien cuss up a storm under his breath if you turn your volume up really loud
Not falling for that Kai Winn jumpscare again...
We need an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch for Delores Umbridge vs Kai Winn
The lack of swearing wasn’t originally part of the "utopian ideal", it was in fact censorship from the broadcasters.
The universal translator autocorrect used to be turned up to high. Probably for the best.
Yeah, you've kinda just gotta suspend your disbelief. I'm going back and watching House for the first time since it ended, and it is RIDICULOUS how much these characters don't swear at each other.

Best actress for the roll
She'd make a formidable Badmiral. Maybe they can get her for an episode of SNW
Isn't she Bashir's mother?
She was Commodore Paris in Star Trek Beyond. She might be the (great?) grandmother of Tom Paris.
She is also a friend of Tali's dad in Mass Effect. Tali calls her Auntie Raan.
I looked it up. No, but Arjun is his dad!
Not as far as I know
She sounds like it hurts to talk
So you know she means it.
That's what happens when you smoke three packs a day.
She sounds like she came out of the womb actively smoking. And I love her for it.
I totally agree tho
She's a girlboss though
This feels like something that could be brought up on Lower Decks.
