r/TheExpanse

I just finished watching the boys finale and it was soo mid. The reason they say was the budget. I remember Expanse creators too faced budget issue but we got an absolute banger of the finale with bits of the other books as well.

It was a conscious decision of the creators to squeeze the budget to 6 episodes rather than stretching it to 10 and delivering dogsh*it .

Respect increased for the creators of the expanse. Thank you soo much and we are still waiting for the revival of season 7 somehow.

What are your opinions for the same?

I’m now at a place where I have the apace and means to afford one, but ideally I’d like the kickstarter one because I’m still iffy about 3d print lines. I’m sure I’ll be ok with the lines eventually but it doesn’t hurt to look for the OG first.

Does anyone know how likely it is for me to come across one?…

Camina and her lover/partner talk about what happened with Naomi. And she says do you love us as much as you love her? And what I want to say to her is hey, if I treat Naomi who I love bad , then what does that say about us? That I am willing to compromise on anyone I love for someone else. it is a frustrating moment.

Bit of context, I watched the show from the beginning as it was coming out, rewatched it fully after the last season, read the books, watched some favorite episodes here and there and now I'm watching it all the way through again.

The first time I watched this I really felt for the belters that distrusted Holden and Fred because they were earthers. I understood where they were coming from and that those character, and myself to a certain extent, couldn't really understand fully the lives and motivations the belters had.
Now that I'm rewatching it I realized, while watching the scene after Anderson Dawes takes Cortázar, that I'm agreeing with holden more and more about how self destructive this thought process is. I especially like that Drummer seems completely done with belters that think like Dawes, and while I understand she has a history with him, she doesn't seem to change throughout the whole series and keeps a pretty no nonsense approach to everything that comes her way. Thinking about the story as a whole it really does seem like all the identity politics of Belters/Earthers/Martians hinders the groups they are trying to fight for more than it helps.

I'd be interested to hear peoples opinions on my thought process and how maybe some others have changed their interpretation of the show in other aspects. (though lets not get too off topic lol)

I'm just about done with 'Mercy of Gods,' and looking ahead to 'Livesuit' and 'Faith of Beasts'. But reading about 'Livesuit,' and it's place in the series...... is it really necessary in the trilogy as a whole?

Yes, I'm told it's amazing, and 'Mercy' is my first book from the authors, and it was fabulous. A slow burn, but so much promise!!!

But, given the story, and its place in the Captive Universe..... shouldn't I buy 'Faith,' and keep going?

I'm half through. The OPA attack on the Martian fleet makes ZERO sense the way they've set it up. A rag-tag militia is able to pass as martian military, hold their own, and defeat what I assume to be top-notch forces guarding the head of state? Please. Maybe if there was more detail given about fleet strength, but assuming the prime minister is on a donager-class battleship, even a dozen corvettes wouldn't stand a chance. Also, in a time of crisis what military would allow a civilian vessel to join a military relief convoy?

(In normal circumstance....) Analog: Like, even if they had access to proper gear, some militia members in the US wouldn't be able to infiltrate a secret service convoy with POTUS and then be victorious.

Really weak plot device.....the Martian military would be faster, stronger, better trained, etc.

If you're trying to position strategic nuclear strike missiles capable of attacking earth on command, why do they need to be carried by any particular ship? They can just float around on their own wherever they want and reposition themselves without a platform.

Yes I get that the point is having a story full of crewed ships is part of what allows them to tell the human story they were trying to tell. Same reason why all the ships aren't just unmanned and they never depict any AI, because human risk is what makes the story compelling.

But I just felt like saying that because when I watched that scene where the UNN was briefing them on the Martian stealth missile platforms, it broke my suspension of disbelief because those missiles shouldn't need a ship to carry them around in space.

And i keep telling this kid, i said "Kid, watch those doors and corners. If you go into the room too fast...."

I've been recommended The Expanse by many friends who are total sci-fi geeks, and while I do love sci-fi movies, The Expanse just couldn't really do it for me. It's a hot take, but it honestly just felt too slow for me to enjoy. Now you may say "But that's for realism!" And yes, you'd be correct, but sadly this realism sadly just makes me bored (even though I wish it wasn't for me).

Of course this is just my opinion, and I can definitely see the appeal. Sadly though I just can't get into it.

I have been making my way through the novellas and it seems like only Anderson Station and the Churn are the most important to the main story. Am I wrong to think that?

i wanted to make a cool fight scene in blender but i suck at modeling so i was wondering if someone has the 3d models to do it.

I just remembered that ages ago there was supposed to be a Q&A with the cast as part of a reward for the Dragon Tooth crowdfunding. I submitted questions for it. Never got the link to watch it. Did it happen or not?

Hello Guys I want a complete book series of expanse like I don't know where to start from how many books are there and also I have only watched the series which lives rent free in my head and it's a really good series but I want to read the books now and does the books cover whole story which is shown in series of either of the 2 falls short of story? I don't know...... And on Amazon Prime in India had only season 4,5 and 6 they removed season 1,2 and 3 and I want to watch whole series again I don't know what to do and I really want to watch the series and read the books I will find it interesting I searched for books in bookstores near my are and even in another city but I didn't got any where I am a huge fan of expanse series Mann I wish I could've watched the series again and read the books too

I want more from the expanse. I love it, but i am not happy with the ending. I feel like there is a lot to come or missing still.

Im a bit confused about how this show ended as I heard it got cancelled but also that the show ended in an area that is supposed to have a break or something... If I start this show and finish it. Will I have a satisfying complete experience?

“Holy shit you guys are doing it!” will always have a special place in my heart. What are your favorite quotes throughout the books or show?

Please keep it just one per person if you can. Obviously some will contain spoilers so let's get this rolling.

>!1) Dr. Elvi Okoye being the one to guide Miller and fall into the Eye of God. I will say upfront I have not read the books, so maybe it has more reason there but in the show this angered me a tad.!<
>!Holden had basically been the only one unlucky enough to have to be led around by The Investigator and then lucky enough to actually see Miller again. To me, that was his whole journey with Miller even saying being inside Holden's head had changed him for the better. Then right when the whole thing could have reached a very comical but very dramatic and emotional finale, Holden rushes off only to return after the doctor falls into the Eye.!<
>!THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOLDEN, DAMMIT!!<
>!The doc was an okay character but this was not her story to snipe, imo.!<
