I know the writers just think of them as elevators, but why are we generating artificial gravity in a turnolift shaft just so we can overcome it with another generated force?

Kinda related, I’ve been saying for years we need more “the gravity plating is out” episodes where everything is floating around, bumping into shit, causing problems. We got one scene in enterprise and that’s it. :/

The expanse really nailed the whole gravity thing. The explanation was entirely within the realm of science, and the low/zero g scenes looked amazing.

oh man, when the entire fleat gets stopped in place and it’s a massive problem because everyone went flying and now zero g is making their blood pool badly even with minor injuries… they turned what most shows would’ve shown as a minor inconvenience and showed how awful it would really be.

Yeah that was awesome,

Ot when old mate went racing through the ring and his ship stopped

The music that guys plays on ship is awesome. I have the belter version of highway star in my music and play it every now and then.

I really need to watch the expanse.

It's an interesting show, but make sure you've got good sound: I found the accents difficult to parse without it. The series was abruptly terminated, so don't expect a neat ending.

I use subtitles for everything, because I’m hard of hearing, but thanks for the warning!

And that sucks. It’s based on a book series, yeah? If I’m super invested, hopefully I can get my fix like that.

@DharmaCurious

It wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know off hand whether The Expanse was based on a book series.

The ending was decent. It ended right where the book series it’s based off of has a 30-year time skip, so it worked out pretty well for them. They have plenty of time to come back to it and still keep continuity with actors too FWIW.

I mean, as far as the older shows, it was probably too expensive to produce “gravity-free” episodes?

I did really enjoy them using the gravity being turned off in Subspace Rhapsody though!

that is extremely hard to film.

So that you can stand on the lift, and not get head trauma every time you want to travel to a lower deck I'd assume.

You would just generate gravity in the lift pod itself.
