As a South Asian, never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see a main character - in a science-fiction show no less - wearing Indian ethnic wear, looking amazing, and delivering some of the funniest and badass lines. But here we are . I've waxed lyrical about this show too many times on The Expanse videos, but I just want to give a shout out to the costume department. Y'all did some fine fine fine work here, especially with Madam Avarsarala's wardrobe.

It confuses me though because is while here appearence could pass just about her accent is basically Persian- like they couldnt find an Indian actress or update the plot so she actually is? I assumed for like two seasons it was some appropriated future fashion, (i know of one caucasian congresswoman to wear african.clothes.sometimes) had no idea she was actually meant to be Indian.

@@jorgepeterbarton they had her in their minds from the get go. Even telling her that they would write a tv show with a role for her. This is a couple years in the future when cultures merged a bit anyways. You can assume all the different nations and ethnicities on Earth are less separated. She could have Persian roots and her family migrated to India, resulting in a mix of culture and traditions in her family. In the Books, she is Indian.

@@roaditr Avasarala having a persian accent is far from the weirdest thing in this future universe. Alex is an indian guy. From Mars. With a texan accent. Why? It's not really relevant so it's not explained, but the texan accent is not that uncommon on Mars (chinesse and Japanese are also common, due to the original ethnicity of the marcial colonists) and he is obsessed with cowboys. Belters speak a mix of spanish, Portuguese, english and other crap. So if she has a Persian accent, i need no explanation

I absolutely LOVE The Expanse, and Avasarala is one of the best characters. There's never a moment that she doesn't look amazing. The costume designers definitely need to win some awards. While others have mentioned it, I don't personally care about her potty mouth; I think it's all part of her personality. Sometimes the best word for a situation is a swear, even if others are available. It's efficiency and power. And in my experience, powerful people tend to have potty mouths. It just adds to the realism.

She WAS a great character until they replaced her with Hillary Clinton & became just another heartless, leftist sociopathic politician. I'd like to see at least half the writing cast replaced - that's responsible for the SJW crap like a lesbian pastor (which goes completely against Biblical requirements) & men in drag characters who have to be badasses all the time. (At least the suits make them on par with men physically, but out of that suit, come on...) Amos is still King & steals every scene he's in. He's the best.

It’s a science fiction show, and many common Christian practices go against biblical requirements. Also, read the books because it’s all in there. Not everything has to align with you politically, the show doesnt have the same politics as you. Get over it. Characters like Bobbie Draper are literally over six feet tall in the books, so of course they’re gonna be on par with most men physically. There are actual women who act like that (she’s a soldier, not a princess) in real life, so it’s not farfetched. Besides Avasarala is not perfect, she’s not supposed to be.

Your name fits.

Who the hell knew the hellscape the USA would be in four years later, Roe v Wade overturned, trying to ban trans people from existing, etc. We're going BACKWARDS.
