The Expanse (Amazon) [** Spoilers **]

Then you have an amazing journey ahead of you if you decide to read the other books in the series.

What it really needed was a longer season or just completely ignore the Laconia stuff as there is so much to wrap up. I find I am pretty immune or ignorant to pace issues in shows though and any time people are not happy with pacing I just havent noticed

Still can't believe that this is 'last' season. As an avid Sci-fi fans (well, just a lad who likes good movies/stories), this show is the best sci-fi show from past 2 decades.

S6 started off slow with Episode 1/2, and then bam episode 3 and 4 nail it so well that the details/moments in them are incredible (reminds me of the better seasons like 1/2/3) and we couldn't believe the episode was done when we were watching both of them.

Great moments for the plot when holden/naomi talked (set up by great fighting scene from previous episode, and damn i like the amos/holden talk scene, also making naomi less annoying - she singlehandedly ruined season 4/5 for me), holden/chrissa dining table talk, Bobby/Amos with Alex's music - all feels good for the Roci team - truly reminds me of the great team moments back in the early seasons.

Drummer scenes obviously great, damn we can't get enough of her; so glad that Michio stays aha. Filip acting is abit 'unsure' for me for all the struggles that have been thrown at him - him + Inaros can potentially make this season so epic if done right for the next 2 episodes.

oh god i can't believe we only have 2 more episodes to go :'(

Really enjoyed the Expanse.

Just started watching Foundation, very unique so might not appeal to all. But really amazingly done. Difficult material to bring to TV, but what I've watched thus far it (like the expanse) its an excellent adaptation. Read the books and at the time didn't love them. But it was decades ago. I'm up to 3 in the Expanse books. They are quite weighty volumes.

Would loved to have seen him more but looking back with hindsight things turned out very well for both parties in the time since season 1 aired

I like how the rockets spin around so the thrust is facing forward to (I assume) slow down. I know zero about this stuff but how the actual ship spins on it's own axis I'd like to know.

Great show

There nothing to slow you down in space. You'll keep moving forever unless you apply the exact opposite force to the one that got you moving.

The biggest engine/rocket one you have is the one at the back, so you do a 180 so you can use the same biggest to slow you down.

They use smaller maneuvering jets to point/rotate in different direction, before they fire the main rocket.

Same here. I find I flick when scrolling on my phone now.

Aye i was very pleased to see Naomi's cup floating and dropping on her hand in episode4 - see the show is so great on these details that it left strong impressions in me aha. Missus actually said that after watching The Expanse, it is hard to watch other 'sci-fi' show/movies lol.

That said, this show puts Alcon the production team on my radar for any show/movie in future.

Ah yes Alcon (my spelling aha) - ye actually just rewatched blade runner sequel recently (first time was at theatre), definitely amazing production/sets etc, Denis Ville directed well well and the movie did just ok on box office (basically bombed). I thought the pacing and plot could have been improved, shorter film and go easier on the bleek colour palette for casual viewers - I like it overall (visually stunning etc, good performance from actors, but doesn't like some characters and plot points), and obviously the sequel is nothing comparable to the original (which is basically a cult film itself also). I don't think i will rewatch this again in many years aha. And apparently ridley scott said some tv show is happening hmm.

As far as sequels go, BR2049 is one of the very best. It's a superb film.

Can't fault anything from this season so far. Another solid episode this week. Can't believe there's only one episode left. 🙁

She was always soft in regards to the family but ya if there is to be a big shock finale death I reckon she would be the one assuming they can write her back into the firing line.

I watched an old episode yesterday where her friend the Martian diplomat has killed himself cause she lost him his job. It's an amazing scene where she looks so sincere telling his husband how sorry she is only to flick a switch as soon as his backs turned and raid his office. Great character very well acted

"Great character very well acted"? Really? A small gripe in an otherwise fantastic show I know but the actress that plays Chrisjen Avasarala is terrible, couldn't act the egit and has a really annoying voice.

I just knew when you made that earlier post that this is the angle you were raring to go down. Could tell by the bitter little man anger in your words

I think she's brilliant. Her character is brilliantly written, better than the book. She steals every scene she is in.

Avaserala is magnificent. It has fuçk all to do with her ethnicity. She's well written, well acted, has an amazing growth arc and great chemistry with so many of the other characters. Especially Bobbi, Amos and, as of this episode, Drummer.

I'm afraid not, do a quick internet search and make your way through movie/tv forums and sci-fi forums and you'll find that opinion is very divided on her. Further, you'll find her acting or lack there of is the main issue people have with her.

"I'd say you're on your own thinking that" I responded to this post. So yes it does go some way to prove that I am in fact not "on my own with that thinking".

Just to clarify, I meant in here. Not the wider internet.

Or maybe you're just prejudiced against her as an individual and you can't see past that.

Haven't watched the latest series (saving them all up for a binge), but I think she's been a great character. One of the best on the show. Aghdashloo's voice, however, does sound like a warcrime, and it can be difficult to listen to sometimes...but that's hardly her fault. But I don't know how anyone can objectively consider her "bad" in this show.
