>*dies off screen after being a core side character for the entire show*
what the fuck
>>
>>220572876
Didn't that also happen to him in Mad Men and Chernobyl?
>>
>>220572920
pretty sure he lives to the end in Chernobyl
>>
>get one of the best current working actors
>have him read stupid gobbledygook like "beltalawda"
he probably got sick of that dumb shit and refused to come back
>>
>>220572920
Mad Men was a different situation
>>
>>220572876
>whole alien planet subplot goes fucking nowhere
The zombie kid was way more interesting than any of the Marco shit in season 6, I will always be mad at that and the way dawes ends up going out
>>
>show is great for 3-4 seasons
>develops schizophrenia and become shit
who do i blame for this
>>
>>220572955
He dies hangs himself in the first scene I think.
>>
>>220573131
oh right, but the whole show is a flashback so he doesn't stop being a character
>>
>>220573091
>>show is great for 3-4 seasons
It was not that good for that long. They were literally doing space magic shit by like season 2.

The fact that they couldn't just have a tight, focused story about a politically- and culturally-homeless crew of strangers-turned-outlaws with a cool ship who have to survive in a solar system at war where everyone wants to kill them or fuck them over, it's so basic that it'd be trivial to write.

And yet somehow the best they could come up with was "Space magic turned into aliens".
>>
>>220572983
belter creole was cool though, reminded me of bladerunnrer
>>
>>220572920
No. At the end of Chernobyl Robert Downey Jr grabs him and they both fall into a ravine
>>
>>220573195
any series with FTL is equally magic though
>>
>>220573223
Sure, but that's technology. My dude, the show literally had an entire space station that was taken over by a magic sentient fungus that came from a sad woman who was going to crash it into a planet because she was sad and the fungus made her. Like, there's sci-fi stuff, and then there's "What the fuck is this and what the fuck does it have to do with my space outlaws?"
>>
>>220573305
no different than aliens in star trek or any other series
>>
>>220572876
>>220572983
It's such a mid performance too. Probably the worst I've ever seen him give. He had absolutely nothing to work with on top of the gay space creole. It's kind of similar now in Foundation. It's a pretty shit project overall but man is there absolutely fucking nothing for him to work with.
>>
>>220572876
>>220573091
At least it's better than Foundation

>a core side character
you dumbass, he was clearly a side core character
>>
>>220572955
No, everyone died in Chernobyl. 50,000 people, poof gone in a blink of an eye.
>>
>>220573481
He didn't even do anything wrong. He was just trying to fuck at cons and whatnot. No rape, no assault, nothing. And he gets booted off his show and the entire cast denounces him as if he beat someone to death. Peak MeToo was nuts lol. The craziest thing might be that he's actually a good looking guy (he's Persian apparently not a jeet) and being a main character in a big sci-fi show his game was so fucking atrocious that not only could he not get any groupie pussy but he lost everything just by trying.
>>
>>220573047
It doesn't go nowhere though. It has a perfectly fine continuation and leads into the next big arc of the final three stories
>>
>>220573740
I'm talking about the season 6 subplot, Unless you're talking about the books I have no idea what you mean
>>
>only 2 episodes left
they're not going to explain how the fuck the protomolecule changes the laws of physics are they
>>
>>220572876
He's mentioned a couple of times afterwards, but he only actually appears in 7 episodes in Seasons 1 and 2. I wouldn't really say that he's a core character.
>>
>>220573970
he's a big part of the plot where ceres steals protomolecule shit and has the scientist
>>
>two episodes left
>hey lets introduce this alien that reincarnates people
lmao
>>
why did these fucks add two fucking alien plots in season 6 and not address them
>>
>>220572876
Noble savage
Muh colonialism b ad
Muh technology bad
Muh humans bad
>>
couldn't understand a fucking word he said

the creole shit is embarrassingly bad
>>
>>220573091
jews, literally
they have the dna to become schizophrenic way more often than others
>>
>>220573497
now it's a ghost town
>>
>>220572998
Why did he kill himself? Bullying for being English?
>>
>>220577126
Isn’t that blacks
>>
>>220572876
>>220572983
He actually liked being in the show.
>>
>>220573222
I snerkd

>>220573195
You sound like those homos who whined about magic in Game of Thrones. Start your own donut steel IP and only put things you like in that.
>>
>>220575200
>>220574138
You morons really don't understand that it's simply following the books? You think they should make up some shitty OC to end the series early on? There's still three seasons they can make whenever

that's one of the things in Chernobyl that wasn't made up. the show starts with a flashforward of him hanging himself because the guy hanged himself irl to protest the retard design of eastern yuroporian reactors and because he was probably going to die anyway. The other main guy was like 20 years older but he died within 4 years of the meltdown because they were hanging out in the fallout zone for months so he might have figured he was going to die anyway. The
>this man's dellusional
guy was dead by 1995 from cancer but he was also like right by the reactor when it melted down.
Either way Valery is a character throughout the entire show. they don't write him off off screen
>>
Sex with belters
>>
>>220572920
he bailed out of Mad Men to be in a movie
>>
>>220572876
Thought that was Charlie Brooker.
>>
>>220580519
You'd have to be very gentle with them. They are frail and can't handle much force
>>
>>220578073
This. No clue why someone watches a show then whines it wasn't like what they decided it had to be in their hand. Then they complain endlessly after. The show was about the mysterious alien tech from the start. It is what drives the entire conflict between the human factions.
>>
>>220580770
I thought it was Laurence Fishburne
>>
>>220578073
I did the lazy thing and only read half of this and thought you were making fun of people who are seething about MTG and was going to write an antisemitic post about hasbro

Graham Norton died during Eurovision?

>last season is actually just an elaborate advertisement for the books
And am i really supposed to believe nobody except holden figured out that the rings were eating entire fucking ships, including breakaway mars navy ones?
How the fuck would that not be obvious after the first one or first few zoink out of existence? They don't even leave wreckage.
>>
>>220584050
It's gayer in the books.
>>
>>220583898
Yes, several times in fact. It was horrible.
>>
He was best in The Terror
>>
>>220572876
>For the whole show
For two seasons. Then I guess they decided having a talented actor was too expensive and clashed with the vibe of everyone else being hammy shits. They just referred to him off screen for the rest of the show before killing him off.
>>
>>220585727
he came back in later seasons though
apparently he was working on foundation and it conflicted especially with covid
>>
>>220577972
>>220572983
Out of all places, a guy in a semi-successful Starfinder (space dnd) podcast had happened to talk with Jared Harris' wife and ask about the belta speak. Apparently Harris had a hand in how it sounded for certain words, and actually liked the show. Go figure.
>>
>>220572876
Who's this faggot
>>
>>220577254
He fell into all the Madison Avenue vices and instead of getting off scott free, they ruined his life. He just wanted to go home.

BELTALOWDA!

He was great in Trailer Park Boys though

He was great in Lost in Space

I'll never forgive them for this.
To me, the show died with him.

>>220585893
yeah he wanted to come back for the show but couldn't
>>
>>220572876
I think its kinda cool when an important character dies unceremoniously. But it has to be believeable and not just some sort of inverse plot armor contrivance for shock value
>>
>>220573305

Sorry you missed the kino anon.

nta, but I've gotten that a few times.

Here's a recent example:
