Going through this tread was a nice reminder of how many quality lines this season had. Hard to pick a favorite.
Wonder why Youtube loads a Kim's Convenience video for me here, lol.
Gonna be my new board next year.
Edit: everyone seeing a different video? 😬
For me it's a Japanese cooking video lol
Must pull from your recommendations. Edit: or history, I've already seen that one.
So my fiancée and I are in the latter 3rd of Season 2, which makes us way behind folks in this thread. But in addition to really loving the show so far, I wanted to commend it for completely turning me around on a character; namely Amos.
When he was first introduced, I wrote him off as a sociopath and loathed the character, but I was willing to "suffer through" having him on the show in order to enjoy the rest. But then I started noticing things, such as how Amos completely dissociates whenever involved in violence. Moreso, the show started giving us glimpses of his background, his trauma, and his philosophy, making each incredibly compelling. The show goes on to definitively stake out the position that he is not a sociopath, by actually giving him the opportunity to essentially become one with a simple surgical procedure, and abandon his moral code. My fiancée and I are now caught in that episode stretch where we are not fully certain what choice he made, desperately hoping he clings on to the broken but still trying person inside instead of becoming a monster. I'm excited and a little scared to see what happens next to a character I used to outright detest. Nice work, The Expanse.

There's an extra parameter in the media tag:

There's a book 9? I thought it ended at 8. Reading book 7 now.
I thought the show is 100% ending at season 6? Or do you mean continue with movies and such? The Expanse TV rights are owned by Alcon which seems to be on pretty shaky financial ground, they lost a TON of movie on Blade Runner 2049 and don't seem to have much in the tank. Amazon is the one basically ending the show at season 6 and I can't see them that interested in making any more movies, the show isn't burning up amazon ratings or anything.
Alcor would have to find a buyer really who is interested in more content and that seems like it'll be extremely difficulty if Amazon continues to own seasons 1-6 on their own network. Netflix would want it all. While Star Trek being pretty hot is definitely creating a lot of interest in scifi, I have to imagine rebooting Stargate, Babylon 5, etc would be a better "big budget" move than trying to continue a show thats 6 years old at this point and owned by multiple parties.

Book 9 is called Leviathan Falls and is due in October. It will wrap up the arc started in Persepolis Rising and mark the end of the main story. A novella is due after that and will be the final story set in The Expanse universe before Ty and Daniel move onto their new science fiction book trilogy.

That's what I meant yes, and as far as we know, season 6 will be the last time we see The Expanse in TV form, but the showrunner, Naren Shankar had the following to say in an interview last year.
"They control the property, but what I will say is that there's definitely more to tell and I'm sure Ty and Daniel would say exactly the same thing. But yeah, that's probably about as much as I can say at this point."

'The Expanse' showrunner says door is open for more after season 6
"There's definitely more to tell," says 'Expanse' showrunner Naren Shankar about possible life after Amazon.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see The Expanse given the live action treatment once again, sometime in the future.
"I need to get back to my crew" was my favorite line. I didn't love Amos's storyline, but damn if that didn't hit home.
"This is the worst extortion I have ever seen, you must new at this" was mine, Erich is great.

"There was a button, I pushed it."
Jesus Christ. That really is how you go through life, isn't it?

I loved Holden's face when Clarissa walked in, though her 'Hi' was probably the best part of that scene.
Probably the best one though.
Though I have a soft spot for Drummer's "How much shit do I have to eat?" line as well. Cara Gee is just so good in that role.

Yeah he rules. His 'FUCK THIS' as the shuttle doors are taking too long to open was amazing.

'The Expanse' Producers Tease Season 6 Plans and a "Big" Series Finale
The Expanse producers tease what fans can look forward to in Season 6 and how the series finale will be a “big” episode.

An interview with Ty and Daniel about what to expect from season 6.
Each time a series ends I start another rewatch back from the first series, currently rewatching series 4, I'm gonna really enjoy them going over past episodes.

For a long time. I can see a Hannibal season 4 situation happening. Every year, fans been teased, but nothing coming into fruition.
Well, unfortunately for the Expanse, I just started the Wheel of time so I doubt I'll be ready for another long book series anytime soon. :(

I reckon you could just about make it halfway through the Wheel of Time (depending on how fast a reader you are) before the TV show premieres.
Yeah, I am on book 4 right now, to pace myself I am reading 3 at a time and then taking a break with some shorter books in between.

That sounds like an amazing journey. Would love to read through those again fresh.
Indeed! just tough because I can't look at Wikis to remind myself of stuff as I already did once and got something spoiled, but beyond that, it's really interesting reading something so influential this many years later.
So maybe by like 2025 I can read the expanse!
To speed it up a bit, every time one of the girls tugs on her braids you can skip forward 100 pages. Should be finished it by the end of the weekend :)
OP
OP
Yeah, with book series with such a developed world, taking notes is a good thing to do.
By 2025, I think you'll have The Expanse and Ty and Daniel's new trilogy to invest time in.
Rewatching the show with a friend and man seasons 2 and 3 are so damn good. Almost every episode has something nuts happening.
