I wasn't a huge fan of the most recent book. None of the characters really feel like they really grew after a 30 year time jump, so it was hard to believe. I understand why they did it, but still... 4/5/2018 7:57:06 PM |

Syfy will no longer be carrying this show, I really fucking hope someone else picks it up, it’s one of the best shows on tv IMO

Knowing which direction that books go, I don't think the show would have the budget to show what happens in an acceptable way 5/20/2018 12:54:40 PM |

Watching all the space combat in this show has me doing math. I'm sure everyone will be interested to know that having a remote possibility of hitting a constant-acceleration target past 30 km with a ballistic projectile would require nothing short of magic. 5/23/2018 10:36:12 AM |

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic 5/23/2018 10:50:37 AM |
darkone (\/) (;,,,;) (\/) 11610 Posts user info edit post |
You don't need sufficiently advanced technology, just guided projectiles.
Also, with the apparent ability to sustain 1g acceleration for days if not weeks, they'd be to other stars by now. 5/23/2018 3:22:28 PM |

Clearly they say they're under 1g for the sake of budget. In the books, it's usually much less. That's the reason why the Nauvo is a spinning cylinder for gravity 5/23/2018 3:53:30 PM |

I’ve been watching this... the first season was pretty boring but the 2nd half of the 2md season is good.
The set design, special effects, and world building are phenomenal, reminds me a lot of cowboy bebop. 9/22/2018 11:06:56 PM |

Oh i guess post above already said that. Anyway this is either a new trailer or the same one again. What am I, a fact checker?

I think Avasarala is one of the standouts on the show. She's fantastic.
Note: I didn't read the book so have no clue if the casting matches the book. 12/16/2019 9:56:24 AM |

watched the whole season on Saturday. I thought it was great! kept expecting those rocks earlier and kinda pissed how they left it, but overall really enjoyed the season! 12/17/2019 12:38:12 PM |

Just finished the new season, loved it.
Amos was great this season, and loved that the big bad had a line about "must have that kind of face" since the actor 100% has that kind of face.
Not sure why the old OPA guy boarded inaros ship with just 3 people instead of just shooting it down. Also was inaros flinging a bunch of asteroids (more then the 2 they took) or are they also bringing attack ships to earth? That map of everything converging showed them lining up near earth but not impacting. 1/20/2020 1:24:39 PM |

Reading the thread on reddit in /r/TheExpanse, it looks like this guy is going to be gone. Wonder if they recast him or kill him off. 6/29/2020 7:39:19 PM |

Looks like no Alex recast; he's just gone I suppose? Maybe they will have him just reconnecting with his wife and son? Since its the final season I guess that works. Hate that it is ending before the book series ends though. 12/3/2020 9:17:35 AM |

He’s in this season, and it’s not the last. This is season 5, season 6 will be the last and will not have him (although I have no idea how they’re going to handle it) 12/3/2020 10:30:02 AM |

They just left a whole plot thread dangling.... 1/23/2022 5:41:35 PM |
rwoody Save TWW 37671 Posts user info edit post |
From what I've read the last 2-3 books make a 30 year time jump, the cold opens would go towards that plot line. The rest of the show took the first however many books' plot line to the end.
Im not sure if they are gambling someone could decide to pick up the other line or what, I don't know if I wish they skipped it or not. Does make me intrigued to just buy the last few books. 1/23/2022 10:28:17 PM |

Finally started watching this after 6 times of trying. Had to basically just zone out in the first season. 2-5 are good, 6 is another one that I’m zoning out a lot on.
It does feel though like what firefly was supposed to be. They really make you care about the characters. Amos and Bobbi are my favorite so far. 6/22/2024 2:16:11 AM |
