FTA-TV The Expanse

Just binged season 4. What a show!

 

[Beerfish]

We started watching Kevin Smith's season 3 recap and then realised we had somehow completely missed season 3 altogether so got to binge season 3 and 4 together.

Felt good man.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Kevin Smith did a recap?

Just finished this season for what is supposedly the weakest book in the series that was bloody good.

Also best scene ever: https://images.app.goo.gl/EJj2k3ghWiHDgWNC9

I didn't even have to open that link to know it was that scene.

Think all of us would have cheered when Amos was punched and he looked back with that grin.

Just finished watching all 4 seasons over the last few weeks.

Love the show!!

Really awesome sci-fi concepts, great story, mostly great acting. It’s thoroughly immersive too.

Can’t wait for season 5.

I find I’m starting to talk in that weird Belter language, especially to my dogs. I call them my little Belter Loaders.

Season 5 trailer dropped. Looks fracking boss. Out December 16/17 depending on where in the world you are.

Biggest gripe w/ the show is how rushed it became.
(first book covered one and a half seasons (10 episodes a season), season 4 was an entire book in 8 episodes).

Keen for season 5 though, trailer looks dope.

I haven't read the books but the show didn't feel rushed to me, so I guess they did that well.

The trailer looks great. Plenty of money has been spent on the show by the looks of it.

I never compare books to movies/TV, because there are some necessary things that have to be done to neatly divide things into episodes/scenes/seasons, for the sake of cohesion and flow and the spectacle. Each are different mediums that require different things to keep the reader and viewer engaged.

For example, the first Lord of the Rings movie would have been worse if they had to work Tom Bombadil into it.

As a TV series, I have no problems with its pacing. Looking forward very much to S5.

I haven't read the books either (but I downloaded them and read a few sections to get a better understanding of what was happening in the show (ie: I read the chapter where Holden goes into the centre of the station).

On "being rushed", it took about 20-odd episodes for war to be declared between Earth and Mars, and then a few episodes later the President of Earth had been arrested, the war was over, the nz chick had ****ed off back to Mars, which is why I looked into the books. The second half of season 3 is a whole book from memory.

Anyway still hyped for this one.

That's all true. I still thought the pacing was off from the second half of season 3 (ie: from when syfi decided to cancel it). Season 4 I thought would have benefited from 10 episodes instead of 8. Minor gripe though, I still dug it.

Giving season 4 a re watch before season 5 drops. Bloody love this show.

 

[Blue Arrow]

December looking pretty good for shows. The Expanse, The Stand and Pennyworth starting up along with The Mandalorian, the Walking Deads etc which will also be on. Something to watch in our houses/prisons when Dumby Dan extends the lockdowns.

 

[Cap]

Bought Amazon mainly for this show, it's been great.

 

[Exhalted One]

Good show

Yep just watched first 2 episodes. Still excellent!

 

[Kirby]

Surely I’m not the only one watching this?

 

[gaskin]

I will. I just haven't had a chance to yet.

Already watched the first 3 eps of this season. It's so damn good. Most underrated show out there right now.

Ripped through the first three and didn't realise they were then releasing weekly [emoji3525]
