eta title change

Damn, I just started season 4 today

Expanse is a great show. Looking forward to season 5

Finally!

Nice, I thought COVID was going to delay it.

hell yeah!

I am so amped for this season.

4 seemed like a transitional/filler season to progress to the next stage of the story.

Season 5 I have super high hopes for.

I didn't see Peaches.

The Guy they cast for Inaro is exactly like I pictured him.

Binge watched all seasons. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is an amazon show where they release all episodes together right? I hate waiting to watched the next episode

They're going to release one episode a week for this season from what I understand.

Dec 16

Hopefully they recover from a lackluster season 4

Most would agree that book 4 was the weakest of the books in the series. So it makes sense that that translates to the weaker season. I felt they did a better job with the tv series for this book than the book itself did since they incorporated a lot of the novellas that take place around this time.

If they stick close to the book for season 5, it may be everyone’s favorite season. I really hope they don’t try to shoehorn both seasons 5 and 6 into 10 episodes. Tagging along with Amos on Earth after the ‘event’ is something I’ve wanted to see since I read the books. Really hope they spend some time with that.

Yes ! Anyone worth their salt as a sci-fi fan should have this on their radar. Most underrated series ever, looking into the books at some point as well.

I've got the eight books so far.  I stopped reading once it got to season 4ish.  I will pick it back up after season 5 finishes.

Shitty news today.

Season 6 is as far as they want to take it right now.

They damn well better not pull a Game of Thrones and stuff a bunch of shit into the last season.

Isn't there a fairly large time interval between book 6 and 7?  I've been wondering how they were going to handle that when they got there.

Better than Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate...maybe even Firefly..

Can't wait til season 5...

I haven't read the books but from what I've seen online today, yeah. So maybe there is an overall plan to this.

Gotta rewatch the others now !

Amos ain't from Baltimore as he can't pronounce it as a native.

I just started watching this and I'm in Season 2 right now. I really dig it and helps fill the void since there's no more Battlestar Galactica. I will say "Draper" played by Frankie Adams.......sucks as an actress. I dig the show except for her.

Oh good, that’s after Leviathan Falls drops.

Season 6 is over.

Hoping for more.


Spoilers:
ok







Alpha Squad:

B. Draper — Bobbie Draper, our Martian marine who really needs no introduction. She’s one of the main characters of The Expanse and leads Alpha Squad of the ground force.

G. Ackbar — Admiral Gial Ackbar, from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. It’s a trap!

D. Quaid — Douglas Quaid from Total Recall. The 1990 film cast Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role and was set on Mars.

D. Bowman — David Bowman, the main character of the classic sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey

Still finishing Memories Legion, and Leviathan Falls isn't in the pic, but the books are awesome and they did a really good job with the show.

I am on season 2 now. Not a bad show.

Some of the best audiobooks as well. Jefferson Mays just went back and rerecorded the novellas that he didn't do earlier. The Churn and one more, I think. I've done a rewatch of the show, from S1E1 just before each new season came out. No regrets.

I have only watched the first season.
