I've never cared for his character out of all of them, anyway. It'll be weird for a time, but trash gotta get taken out.

i'm also of the opinion of just write him out. been a while since i read the last books but i dont remember alex doing much or being very instrumental.
You are right. It was early in the day for me.
I still vote to just recast him if he as any relevant participation in the next books

Latest news from our studio. They are taking the recent allegations very seriously, and have hired an independent third party investigator. Everyone is fully committed to the truth here. But they need a little time to do their work. Updates as I have them.
And, if I may, a wholehearted thank you to those who were brave enough to bring this to us. We hear you. This will get the attention and action such serious allegations deserve. I'm staking my reputation on it.

I've watched the first 3 seasons in the past month and just started S4.
Noticable upgrade in VFX, both in quality and quantity. I can only imagine the episode CQB if it had Bezos funding it lol.
The first 3 seasons were a total rollercoaster, can't wait to finish this one now.

Yeah, they've been adamant about finishing the story as they intended with book 9.
I'm guessing it's a 2021 date, or it'll be timed to release about when Season 5 goes live on Amazon?
If I've already watched the entire 4 seasons, will reading the books feel like a slog where I'm just reading about the same things I watched, or is there a lot more to the books?
There are some things that are different in the books, and some things that go into a bit more depth. Overall the books are very quick reads, so don't think it'll be a slog to read through.
The TV show has done a reasonable job of following the books (by TV show standards), so there isn't really a "lot" more to them, but they will give you some additional background, world detail and character insight. Plus the books are occasionally just different - with different sequences of events (or the same events as the TV show, but involving one or more different characters). Sometimes different scales as well - the TV show has a weird habit of using different numbers for things like populations.
Watching the TV show up to season 4 means that if you started reading with the fifth book, you wouldn't be confused about much. Some of the differences would be (minor) book spoilers but the biggest one isn't a spoiler - the character of Drummer does not exist until that fifth book, so the Drummer you'd be reading about in book 5 would not be TV show Drummer (who is an amalgam of several other characters) but a newly introduced character with no previous plot relevance, whose plot arc the TV show will presumably converge upon.
I am only on book 3, but so far, I am loving the books. They add some detail in places that I really love. So far, most details not in the show feel like they were removed purely for budgetary reasons. Like someone read the book and said, "no way we can afford that" then dialed the sequence down 90%. So reading the book and having those details again is really fun for me.
The two characters I miss most from the books are Bull and Sam, but with the constraints on the production of Seasons 3, I can see why they were cut and their story cues integrated into other characters.
Awesome, I've been waiting on news for the last book since last year. Anymore details? I can't find anything online.
Edit: Found it, release 2021, can't wait.
I hope the last book is better than the last three. I was really disappointed with the direction the series took after the incredible Nemesis Games.
I do think it will. I believe they want to nail this last book and they know how to do it.

I can live with 2021. I want to re-read everything from Nemesis games on anyway. It kinda blurs together somewhat.
Hopefully we get a season 5 date soon (and a season 6 confirmation).

Still investigating it seems. I doubt they'll use the event on Thursday to reveal anything related to that.
Nemesis Games is quite the ride, so expecting season 5 to be the same. We'll probably see a lot of Babylon's Ashes too.
oh yeah for sure. the investigating was the last i had heard about it but i guess there's still a decent amount of time before the season premieres
It's too late to do anything for this season. Any changes would be reflected starting with 6.
i just meant in terms of seeing him in s5 and at least knowing something had been done about it
Ok so the second week of december we get Cyberpunk, new Mandalorian episode and a whole new season of the expanse :)
Expanse ending with season 6. How does that work relative to the books?

Makes sense to stop there if they're not going to continue since it's a good stopping point considering what happens after that.Expanse ending with season 6. How does that work relative to the books?

I wonder if end came because of allegations against Cas Anvar?
I doubt that, unless their metrics showed it was reducing viewer interest in the show. They could have a new actor playing the character. It's not ideal, but GoT did it several times, Spartacus did it.
Ugh. Why are they stopping after season 6? I thought they have enough material for like 10 seasons.
6 is still a lot of seasons considering the environment nowadays. I would guess it's just too expensive as viewership decreases.

With how the books are structured into 3 arcs and what the third arc starts with...it makes a lot of sense. A lot of us weren't sure how they were going to handle that.
While I always want more Expanse I'd rather they not drag out books 5/6 into multiple seasons a la GoT and if they committed to all 9 it might just become meh at some point. 7/8 have been a lot of fun but they've lost some of what made The Expanse great to start with.

Alright, spoilerized it if you have to, but what happens after that?
A thirty year time jump.
It's a really good place to stop. It would make sense to make a couple of movies further down the line to finish the story.
I didn't like how they crammed Abaddon's Gate into the back half of S3.
Would have worked if devoted a season to Book 3 imo.
James SA Corey's timeline is pretty revealing.
The
time jump
It's not declining ratings.
6 seasons is a lot for a show these days, it just feels like it's time to wrap it up and this is a good place.
