Reply to comment by Kryavan in Will The Expanse ever get the last 3 seasons to finish out the last 3 books? by MajorRichardHead7

Not sure about those pills. I remember a few paragraphs about Bobby's knees and Naomi's back.

Yeah, but I'm 27 and regularly have knee and back pain.

Well they definitely took anti aging pills too though. This conversation about actos and ages has popped up on the sub every week since that book dropped.

In those books they're in their 70's but are meant to have the bodies analogous to those of people in their 50's today. Someone might not die of old age until they're in their 100's, but age still comes. It would be possible for a TV series to handwave it but it might feel a little bit cheap. I think if they were to do it today, it'd be better to trim down the 30 years to 10 or so and just skip the idea that many of the invading forces had been born on Laconia and had never seen Sol, which works better in the books anyway.
