I think this is one series that I will actually get a kick out of watching again, even though I know what happens.

- Start date

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
That was a really good finale, if a little rushed (you could easiliy split it in 2 or three pieces, each with its own climax). But overall, what a fucking show. By a long way the best space scifi TV.
DId everyone notice the who's-who of scifi easter eggs in the strike teams?

I spotted Vasquez, Hicks and Hudson there. It's blink-and-you-miss-it though.

Recognised a slightly smaller amount of these than you
Too late and too whisky-ey in the day to be wrangling with TRTDs but Anderton has to be a reference to Jon (John?) Anderton from Dick's Minority Report. And pretty sure it was Jason Nesmith.P.S. I've not seen any of the latest series yet and have been refraining from finishing the books so please be light on spoilers...!

I think J Anderton is from Minority Report.

Elizabeth Berkley wasn't in the infantry, however she stripped her way to infamy in Showgirls.

I didn't notice this until this screenshot so props Crispy
In addition to the others mentioned Alex Rogan is the lead character from the Last Starfighter
EDIT: During the battle as well when Bobbi was doing a roll call Bravo Squad reported only 2 survivors, they didn't mention but I'd love to know if it were Ripley and Hicks the only 2 survivors in Aliens

I could have sworn it was Elizabeth Berkley who played that part starship troopers but yeah it was Dina Meyer, and her character's name was Dizzy Flores which isn't featured there. They do a look a little similar with curly hair but I'm still not sure why I thought that.

There's a full list here: The Expanse finale has an awesome easter egg full of sci-fi references
for anyone still trying to work them out, H Ochai, R Levine and K Garrity are scripted names not references - confirmed by the showrunner in a tweet linked in that article.

I mean yeah they do both get their tits out in the films mentioned but I've not studied either of them enough to be like "oh yeah, I recognise those nipples", lol

I haven't seen showgirls, but Berkley was famous for 'getting um out' in it. I expect her fame did a double exposure on the more vague red headed mammary memories of Meyer.

I read that they had budget issues. A season would normally run to 10 episodes, but the budget wouldn't stretch to that and then it was supposed to be eight episodes, but then it wouldn't stretch that far either.
I suppose in the context of the final episode the new planet stuff was extraneous, but if they'd have cut it then it would have seemed very weird not to go back there and sort of resolve/do something with that storyline. And by resolve/do something, I mean set up that cliffhanger/premise for another season/spin-off, because not going back in the final episode would've been weird.

Well, there's room for more. No doubt about it. Enjoyable as ever, but the Marcos & Filip dynamic never gripped as much as it should have. Felt the first 2 eps could have been condensed into one and the remainder eps expanded on.
But really hoping there's more to come.
