This character's arc was amazing, now I'm worried.
Okay so I just watched episode 6 of season 2, one of the best episodes of tv I've ever seen. Now I feel like dropping the series.
I loved Miller's character, more than any of the others, the perfect blend of a noir detective/no shits given antihero, he was the most compelling and interesting, banter like no other. And now without him I feel like the show will be empty and bland.
Holden seems to be a one note action hero archetype, with some moral dilemmas thrown in, Amos is a brute without much personality or backstory so far, I care little for either. Nagada is probably the most interesting of the crew, Alex has some good moments too but neither has what Miller built. By far the most compelling character, getting beaten the hell up and still shooting through ballshit, the season 1 finally fighting to get to the docks while fighting radiation sickness was amazing. I liked his season 1 storyline far more than any of the others. I don't give a shit about the annoying mars marines or the bickering politics of the earth characters. Don't even really care about Johnson or the other guys in that station. Couldn't care if they all died in the next episode. I hope they introduce more cool side characters because these main characters are either annoying or boring.
Just want Miller back and I heard he does come back in some way but not the same.
(But that last kiss seemed really tacked on)
I know it's based on the books, but I feel they killed their most compelling character waaaayyy too early. Could have saved it at least for a season finally...
Tell me, does the series get better after this? Cuz four more seasons and a half without my boy Miller just sounds boring and bland, however much science and cool ships are in it. I might just quit the series for a while and come back once I've watched everything on my current watch list. Or maybe just leave it with the end of Miller's story. Is it worth continuing?
