Fucksake...... I love this show.

 

[NoXion]

For fuck's sake! I was really getting into this new series. The rest of it is still going to be broadcast, yeah?

Yes. It's all been made.

It's not a SyFy production btw. Made by Alcon, who also produced Blade Runner 2049.

Just cut a few corners and it'll be grand.

Save some money by getting rid of the fabulous CGI and replacing it with models on strings...

It didn't earn the nickname "The Expense" for nothing.

Rumour mill:

Netflix aren't interested
Sets were due to be torn down today. That has now been delayed till Wednesday because negotiations are ongoing with Amazon. The writers have asked fans to sign a petition to show support:



Sign the Petition

So please do. Fingers crossed!

Netflix has their own gruesomely expensive SF series that no-one is watching. I'd think Amazon is a more natural home for it, as they have the North American re-broadcast rights.

Just bingewatched my way up to S3E4, so I guess I'm down to trickle torrenting each episode as it appears So when are they usually released...?

I watched the first 4-5 episodes of Season 1, but it's not really holding my attention - is it worth sticking with?

The general view is that it's slow to start but hots up. That's been my feeling, too...

It airs Wednesdays at 9pm (Eastern Standard time I guess) on Syfy. So available to torrent shortly after 3am Thursday mornings UK time.

Eta. S3E5 has also aired. E6 this week.

Yeah definitely. End of S1 is much better than the start. S2 feels like a show that can tie it's own laces. The characters feel familiar, the plots tie together and the acting feels more natural. S3 is knocking it out of the park.

Fans crowdfunded $3k to fly this round and round amazon studios hq for four hours today

I was the same for the first few episodes of season 1. but stuck with it.it picks up episodes in. season 2 ends on a cliff hanger every episode. season 3 is also great.

S3E05

Spoiler: Well, fuck me, that was a bit gripping!

Nguyen's a bit of a piece of work. All getting very messy now. But definitely seriously gripping.

I'm quite intrigued by the way that the S4 intrigue seems to fit quite nicely into the pattern of what's going on in S3...

 

[donkyboy]

another very good episode.

 

[snadge]

I am that guy, awesome, fucking criminal if this gets canned.

 

[existentialist]

I am that guy, awesome, fucking criminal if this gets canned.

Word upthread is that Episode Season 4 is in the can, so it's just a question of who ends up buying it and broadcasting it, if I understand correctly.

And, if not, maybe someone will leak it...

 

[existentialist]

Spoiler: It's a spoiler. I can't tell you.

"You're not that guy...






...I am that guy."

BANG. *squelch*

Everybody's favourite psychopath

This must be the end of book 2 right?

I think this is my favourite scfi TV ever actually.

Spoiler: yay

bobbi draper<3 takes out a hybrid single handed . Cotyar dies a hero. immense episode. banging episode. I knew FJ would do the right thing. Some shows would have saved a barnstormer like that for the season final, but theres two more eps to go

Dr. Strickland should be in an 80s sci-fi with Schwarzenegger. His name, his haircut, his diabolical plans, all fit.

Spoiler

Excellent 80s villain cowardice until the end as well.

'The Expanse' Revived for Season 4 at Amazon

Not signed yet. But apparently they're Bezos' favourite books and he was really annoyed when SyFy got the show instead of Amazon. Sounds like a goer to me
