The Expanse Season 6 Nov 16th trailer
- Thread starter -Hyperion-
- Start date
Same. It seems the books pick up that thread, but it's by far what I was most interested in.
Totally agreed. The show keeps wanting to sell him as this charismatic dude, but he's just paper thin and incredibly annoying.
The actor is trying, but the character is really one note. And people do such stupid shit just to build him up. It feels incredibly forced from jump and only gets worse as the series goes on.
Gonna have to head to the books I wanna find out wtf is up with the laconians and shit, I guess
Found this show from a list of shows with nice HDR presentation and selected it on the basis of it being sci-fi, wasn't really expecting much but I ended up binging all seasons, I can't put my finger on what exactly it was but I couldn't get enough of it.
But the thing is I don't even watch TV, me and my wife will slowly work our way through series over years. Of the 2 or 3 shows we're watching new seasons come out before we've been able to work through the earlier ones. Snail-pace is underselling it. We started Game of Thrones when there were 4 seasons available and by the time we got to season 4, all 8 were available. I started watching The Mandalorian when it first became available and I'm still somewhere around the early half of season 2, for reference.
So to go from that to watching 5 seasons in the span of less than 2 months for this show, yeah the Expanse is something else. Can't wait for it to go live. I will have to actually try to pace myself and not watch it in one sitting. I'm not watching the trailer.

Yeah, six episodes isn't much. I think that the hope is that they're longer-than-usual episodes, though I don't think there's been any hint at how long they are in actuality. If some of them are feature-length then the season might not be much shorter than other ones.
For reading the books release order is fine. You'll hop around the timeline a little bit but that's happening with the show anyway.
I think it leaves the show in a decent place.
It's a natural ending for several of the major on-screen plotlines and the only way to get any more of a big-picture resolution would be to somehow get commitments from most of the cast and from Amazon to go all the way to season 9, and then hope that nothing unforeseen derailed production.
They're somewhat divisive, partly because everyone had their own head-version of where they wanted The Expanse to go and I don't think anyone was anticipating the actual direction of the story. Certainly worth reading for anyone who wants the story to continue after the TV show, though.
This will technically be a spoiler for the TV show as well, just so you know before clicking.
That's a scene from Strange Dogs which is set on Laconia, the planet the rogue Martian fleet is heading to at the end of season 5. The assumption from fans has been that this story is set after book 6 so suggests that the show will go a little bit past the ending of that book.
This sounds great. I'm still kinda bummed that I fell off in season 4. Really didn't like the area they were in.
A nine-book adaptation was never going to be very realistic. Especially when there's a several decade-long time jump in the middle of it.
I'm kinda glad they're two separate things, both the original series and the adaptation are very well made. Knowing the adaptation was made in conjuction with the authors helps too. And it's very good on it's own.
All in all, I think both are enjoyable in their own right, and that's all that matters.
If only someone very rich liked the show enough to pick it up, buy the rights etc. then put it on their streaming service and keep funding further seasons and....
wait a minute...
Back-to-back Star Trek Discovery and The Expanse tonight, I'm set.
...babies probably won't let me watch any of it.

I genuinely look forward to The Game Awards as a source of comedy every year. This is tough. Totally forgot this was out this month.
That episode was brilliant, this show is so damn good. Is there a proper OT for it that search isn't turning up for me?
Hurry up! I need at least one other person on Era to watch season 6 lol.
The last season was rubbish, got so tired of Naomi and her storyline very quickly and nearly binned it half-way through. But I gotta say this trailer has got me excited for this final season.
The final season has already started, episode 1 is already up.
Yeah, I always watch on PC where it's fine, but there are constant complaints in the WoT series thread that the bonus content isn't viewable on many (most?) devices.
I'm surprised they went with a 6 episode swan song.
Thought that with the amount they have to wrap up, it'd be at least 10. Hmmmm... season 5 already had pacing issues and I imagine it'll be the same this time around.

That's a strong start to the season. The new Roci crew dynamic with some issues to be worked out leaves a lot of potential for them to do stuff that's interesting and new even to book readers. There's pretty clearly more Laconia to come, although how much sense that will end up making just in the context of the TV show is still anyone's guess. Earth is now properly damaged and not just bruised, fixing that weird choice from last year. We'll see how good a job they do of ending things but at least they've started that off well enough.
Me too, if it was in any way their choice. The most recent interview suggests that the last episode is longer so I guess the whole season will run for the length of 6.5 or maybe 7 typical episodes, but that's still not a lot of time to wrap up the bulk of the Sol system story. That's especially true when they've had to spend a decent chunk of one episode correcting the amount of damage they decided to do to Earth last season.
No OT, so discussion is fractured across threads.
And the episode only technically dropped last night. The "real" release date is on Fridays.
ahhh. Can someone make OT? This is the last season and it would be pretty pathetic if the last season went out like this.
I requested the mods to make the other thread the OT
