This is going to be a big thread about climate change, energy, and @TheExpanseWR. Literal representation, analogues, creative decisions in general - I want to talk about it all! Will post my own thoughts, other ppl's tweets, etc.

It's been in the show from day one. The opening titles of season show

- Icebergs breaking free
- The statue of liberty's little island being built up after it's coated in water
- S4,5 sea level rise in Chesapeake bay


It's in the show too. "The gulf of Denmark". Old Boston turned into the square tops of buildings barely visible. Sea walls lock out the ocean. The show is set in 2350: climate change is driving people off Earth.

Episode 2 of Season 5 has plenty of rich detail, now there are longer scenes on Earth. Baltimore is a post-climate city: a sea higher than the city itself, widespread apartment solar. Interestingly: not a single car; but a heavy, prominent (electric?) train, cycles, walking.

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.
