I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on episode 2 now. I am trying to savor it instead of binging it all this weekend.

If you want a larger discussion, come over to The Expanse subreddit. It's got over 100k people. I've been trying to get people on LSA into the show but most aren't with it. It's a shame that Love & Hip Hop and the worst season of Game of Thrones can get 20+ pages of commentary but an amazing sci-fi show with great acting, direction, character development, and storylines can't even get a page.

Here's the subreddit link: The Expanse

I didn't realize I'd be getting the entire season at one time. I'm so happy. I'm going to binge it with pleasure this weekend.

Yay I’m so glad theres a thread, but sad it probably won’t get any traction. Rewatching the second half of season 3 and then getting right to it!

So...

It's good
All the people we like are still alive and kicking and they obviously got more money because the sets are better.

Basically the season is pretty much what Aveserala told Holden

"Don't stick your d!ck in it, it's fcuked enough already"

And he didn't listen

On a side note, the political factions, Mars, Earth, Belters really hate each other.

I still recall that second season when the Belters spaced all the Martians who fled Ganymede.

And since I've been reading the books for almost a decade now, I know what lies ahead and it makes me sad.

I finished it yesterday. It was still pretty good, but it went by so much faster than the previous seasons.

I’ve been meaning to pick up the books, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I'm on episode 4 and enjoying how the Martian sub-plot. Up until now, all the Martians we've seen have been noble and honorable a singular goal. It's interesting to see these other aspects of their people.

Thanks for the tag @Andre1984 I'm going to start watching Monday. I also need to watch the last few episodes of season 3 to refresh my memory. I can't wait to binge this!

Make sure yall use spoilers for those who want to watch at their own pace.

Unfortunately, I lied to myself about pacing. I just started episode 8. It's too good to stop!!!!!!!!!!

Raise your hand if you want to bust it wide open for
Marco's terrorist ass?

My husband and I are on episode 6. We had to finish V Wars before jumping into another binge session. I’ve been so fµck!ng excited for this season and was beyond happy Amazon gave it a home. We’ve been diehard fans since its inception and I was anticipating its release when the advertising and marketing hit 9 months before the first episode aired. It had been so long since cable TV’s had an immersive and compelling hard sci-fi series with an expansive budget, going back to the days of BSG. (Also loved 12 Monkeys and pre-West World)

I’m lovin’ this season so far. They’ve all been excellent with many thrilling and deeply thought-provoking episodes.

I finished season 4 and I loved it! I can't wait for season 5.

The Inners make me fµck!ng sick! I hope The Belters one day get a real win.

I felt bad for Bobby. She was a Martian's Martian and now she's realizing Mars isn't worth terraforming anymore. I liked her boss once you get past the blackmailing. The girl reminded me of the actress that played continuum. Only younger and less bad ass. I liked Bobby's love interest too.

I liked Wei. I'm sorry she died. Murtry was a damn trip. I wish Amos would've just outright shot his ass long. The way they treated the Belters was horrible.

I love Avasarala!! She's one of my favorites. I loved her speech at the memorial. But she didn't mean any of it. Politicians She swore a lot more this season too.

Marcos was talking sense. I was happy when Drumer let him live. Up until him and his son killed Ashford.

Is Drummer a lesbian?

I didn't notice that Naomi never set foot on a planet in all these seasons. I knew belters had trouble with gravity but I didn't know it was that bad. Her conversation with drummer this season was one of my favorites.

I like Lucia but 23 people did die. I wonder if Murtry would've been as awful if none of his people were killed? On the other hand, those soldiers were being horrible to the Belters. Their entitlement was disgusting and the only reason I'm happy their not dead is because I like Dr. Okoye.

I just binge watched the series. I'd started ans stopped so many times but now I love it. There is still a lot that I don't know or understand regarding the promomolecule and all that and then the whole s4 miller thing but I still enjoyed watching. Looking forward to season 5. Ive loved the indian lady since 24.

I just finished. I didn't want to come into this thread for fear of spoilers.

I really enjoy the series and the world they've built but I also find it depressing. It's a big and petty universe. There's so much space, there's so much to do and explore, but everyone is consumed with power, politics and money. It is completely believable that this is the way Earthlings will venture out into the stars, which is what makes it depressing.

Not sure if this is a spoiler but
about the Rosci...Do they own it now or are they still riding around in a stolen ship?

I have the first 3 books, I think now is a good time to start them.

Binged the whole thing and I absolutely love the show. It reminds me of a video game called Mass Effect. Some thoughts....

Holden definitely grew on me in the fourth season. He wasn't as stubborn and you understood his motives clearly.

I like Naomi (she can be a tad bit annoying at times) but I don't understand her lack of motivation to find her child until the end of season 4.

I'm very interested in more being revealed about Amos being a mob boss in Baltimore lol. I like the pilot as well.

Drummer and Draper are my two favorite characters.

Also, I love the belter accents.

I haven't read the books but I thought the show was very well casted

I just started reading the books and watching the show. I'll be back with commentary.

I'm so sorry I missed out on how good this show is. I watched a little bit of season 1 but left it alone.

Now I'm obsessed.

I just finished Season 2 and Naomi is a bit too self-righteous for me. I love Dominique Tipper and I think she is beautiful but I struggle to like her character in the show and the books.

Avarasal is my girl though and I love Bobbie Draper.

There's a reason why she's self righteous.

And yes, much love for Bobby and Avasarala

Anxiously awaiting season 5. I fell in love with the entire concept from the beginning, the culture of Mars and the Belters, I could believe it. I love all the charcters but my shocker is cara gee, i would have never ever believed she was drummer. I was totally heartbroken over Ashford but hopefully his message gets thru.

Okay. I just finished the 4th book as well as season 4.

A few unpopular opinions first:

Naomi and the Belters are still annoying.Their extreme tribalism at the expense of being...well...alive is astounding to me. The situation on Ilus played out much better in the books with making the Belters slightly more sympathetic and making much more sense than the show portrayed the whole ordeal. Murtry is a sadistic asshole through and through but his initial reactions to the Belters made sense.

I loved show Murtry. The actor was great. I liked Elvi too. I'm low key side eyeing the white washing of many of the characters, but I know they have to tighten up for the sake of the plot so I'll keep my mouth shut for now and just be thankful the show is still going on.

Book Naomi is way better than show Naomi. She is less self-righteous, more balanced and less tribal. Book Naomi is still a Belter but she doesn't let it cloud her judgement like Show Naomi.

Amos and Alex are the best of the Roci crew and I hope they get more screen time. Amos is a strong contender for one of the best characters on the show with Chrisjen and Bobbie being close second and third (minus Miller). I love how he reads each situation for what it is. He liked Wei but she didn't come before his crew. It's okay to like people but not be morally conflicted after a romantic tryst. It's very realistic.

I wanted better for Bobbie this season but hopefully they bring her around to where she needs to be for season 5.

This news about Cas is terrible. I hope if what I read is true that he's fired. They will have to replace him if there are any seasons beyond 5, but his behavior is completely unacceptable.

what happened what's going on with him

ok just read about it on reddit wow cant believe he really helped bring back the show from cancellation even if they fire him he's gonna get money from Netflix for his part in the deal of bringing the show back. Damnit I really liked him and his brother there're both so hot I also like their online personas can't believe Cas was a predator, well since their doing one and a half books every season then there should be 3 seasons left don't know how they gonna do it he really donkey balled this up for everybody including the book writers.

It's far from my favorite aspect of the site, but gossip is approved here. Save a tired friend font from having to search out what you guys learned about Cas. You can just say what you heard, even if you have no idea if it is true. Example, "There is this rumor going around that an actor on sciifi show on Prime based on a popular book series..."

I have the first 3 books on my bookshelf. I'm only half way through the first. I keep waiting for a time when I can put my feet up and just read. I gotta give up on that fantasy and grab a few pages when I can.

The writers (it's a duo who write under a pseudonym for those who haven't read the books) tweet under one account. Even though they say the words that align with my philosophies, there is something about them that irks me. I want to read and enjoy the books before I figure out what it is.

Every book kinda drags a bit at the beginning. I think it's just the burden of getting used to the different narrators.

I think the authors are just weird. They are probably your typical white, male scifi nerds...ya know, the socially awkward kind.

I'm sad about the news about Cas as well because he was instrumental in saving the show and I don't see anyone else as Alex.

I'm hoping the allegations xesual misconduct aren't true but where there is smoke there is usually fire.

I don't think the book is dragging. Real life just keeps interrupting. I need to be more flexible in finding time to read. :)

Just heard about the cas anvar allegations and I am honestly shocked. He really did seem like a friendly and fun person. I believe the multiple accounts though. I’m assuming theyre going to fire him and recast for season six.

he’s a fµck!ng idiot.

I sifted through some stuff on Reddit, I think I got the general gist of the allegations. I didn't find the texts and stuff but saw some posts from the (an) accuser. I can believe it. I have no way of knowing if it is true, but nothing I read struck me as out of the realm of the possible.

I liked Cas in the role, but I'm happy to move on.

Just leave Shohreh in place as Avasarala. She hasn't appeared yet in the books for me, so I don't have a book/tv thing going. She's just great. I always imagine hearing her say "Behrooz" like she did all the time on her 24 season. She and Bobbie need one another. I need them together too.

I’ll wait until the investigation is over before casting my opinion. I hope the allegations aren’t true

Season 5 drops on Wednesday December 16th on Amazon Prime. They've also announced that there will be a Season 6, but 6 will be the last of the series.




I stopped watching the trailer midway through because it looked so good, I didn't want it spoiling the season for me. Season 4 was okay, but mostly drawn out. This looks to be 637% better.
