The belts are made up of people's from all nations and they even have their own patois. Accents also vary from one settlement to the next, though it can get a bit muddled with travelers back and forth.

They put a lot of work into the details of this show. I'm hoping this indicates that Syfy is making a legit effort to become a real sci-fi network.

Yeah, I'm really surprised about the attention to detail here.

I was trying to convince @SteelCurtain (see if that summons him...) to give it a go, but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge. Hopefully with Alex's seal of approval he'll reconsider Big Grin

Gotta keep the ratings strong any way I can...

Never! My stubbornness knows no bounds!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I considered it as well. But, I don't think it would fly in a professional environment. Sad

I have just started to watch the first series, seems good so far, nice touches like "Belters" not being able to handle Earth gravity. So far so good...
