"The Expanse" - New near-future sci-fi TV

[Artaxerxes]

the weakest link in the show is holden. they should have caste rob stark in the role.

Oh Christ no.

Wood to wood.

Really enjoyed that, thanks all for the heads up. Imaginative & coherent world building, good story of scarcity, conflict & class, plus lots of relevant contextual information presented in a way that makes the viewer have to do a bit of mental work & consequently feel more like a (telly watching) grown-up. Agree that Holden's the weakest link, delivering lines like a model over-earnestly lip-synching to a power ballad. But some really nice touches, clever little reality effects that give foundation to place & characters. Think I enjoyed the second series most - we'd seen enough of the world to understand it, & little enough of the protomolecule to keep it mysterious. Looking forward to Series 4, while waiting to see what tv does with the Broken Earth trilogy.

Apologies for bump, if you thought this was a S4 announcement. Just been rewatching S3 and the climax of the earth-mars war is still completely gripping. All the characters are in play without it feeling forced, and the stakes/payoff feel well and truly earned.

Also, official merch is now available. Get the Pur+Clean t-shirt you always wanted.

Worth shouting also that Seasons 1-3 are now on Amazon prime in 4K UHD if you've got a snazzy TV that supports it.

Some S4 bits and bobs ahead of Saturday's panel at comic con, when we can expect a trailer and a release date.

I thought Cibola Burn was one of the weaker books.

Season 5 should be interesting though

My least favourite book but reckon it could be good on screen.

Not to disagree or anything, but what would count to you as not-bland Expanse merchandise?

Aveserala gets to swear properly on amazon.

I don't remember Alex going down to the surface of the planet in Cibola Burn either.

Is Burn Gorham playing Havelock's boss, the psycho security guy? Fun!

The problem is they aren't well designed.

You want something that looks vaguely in-universe so the logos need to be a little smaller or moved to one side on breast or sleeve.

The doors and corners one is just shit and Ive never liked the "list of names" style t-shirts either. Not sure wtfs going on with the MCRN tee.

You also want patch's and badges or decals (readily available on Etsy but unofficial) or more varied clothes styles.

Ahh, fair dos. So it's the execution rather than what they are. You're right, though, replica workshirts ought to be, well, workshirts. It'd be like people going around in Star-Trek T-shirts

the I *heart* the expanse mug is just lazy. I saw a much better 'Remember The Cant' mug a while back, also some OPA patches with the anarcho a. Much better gear imo.

New trailer. Set engines to hype.



Got to wait till mid December though

 

[Jennastan]

might have another go at this. For some reason it just didn't grab me after the first 3 episodes and i gave up. I reckon it needs a bit more wobbly set and plastic props myself!! :-D

Definitely takes a few epsiodes to find its feet. ep4 kicks things into a higher gear and then you'll know by the last few if it's a show you like. Subsequent seasons improve greatly

[PursuedByBears]

Amazon are definitely investing in this even before the new series has aired

Production on The Expanse's Fifth Season had already begun
