Is anybody else watching The Expanse?

It could end with the Amos and Bobbie MMA sex scene we missed out on this week.

one can only hope

I have an infinite capacity to watch the characters talk about stuff but I do hope that more than one thing happens in the final episode

yes, i as well would enjoy a Amos/Bobby brothel scene

*crosses fingers*

oh no, much more fun leaving it open-ended as to whether bobbie goes with or WITH or neither,

cracked up at bobbie's reaction to amos telling her about holden - holden gotta holden #kumbaya

and of course loved drummer and avasarala's summit meeting

and of course loved drummer and avasarala's summit meeting

Usually the clothes on this show are just kind of utilitarian and there, and even Avasarala's outfits are just "rich, fancy old lady," but the hair and outfit she wore for the meeting with Drummer were amazing.

new protomolecule roci skin dropped

fully expected the eerie skindog things to show the girl her brother’s body neatly disembowelled on the forest floor, and looking pleadingly at her like “may we have…. some more?”

we gon have a big ol fight in ep 6 huh

omg drummer/naomi scene

“this universe has no place for me” 😓

blonde battle bun is seriously dtf

avasarala’s rendez-vous with drummer on ceres has that chiming music that we heard during drummer’s raid of inaros’ supply cache and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. big dj koze “brutalga square” energy

tight close-up on bobby when she’s expounding her philosophy of war to amos in the bar on ceres, maybe the tightest i’ve seen on this show. feels like the closest they’ve come to a thesis statement. that “your people” are ultimately what’s important. the roci is an elective little sovereign statelet of badasses and dreamers - they are each other’s people. “i pick my own side” (- naomi bob marley)

i was truly hoping those dog things would eat her brother in front of her :(

btw i choose to believe that right after the camera cuts away from bobbie at the bar she looks up, we get another massive close up, and she goes “wait up, amos”

we have no proof this didn’t happen is all i’m saying

i just assume thats what happens

WHO ON EARTH WOULD TURN THAT DOWN

it's crazy how not hot and extremely hot everyone on this show is, is that what space is like, is that what canada is like

we should conduct a field trip

Everyone Marcos lady friend is on screen I say “hey it’s Pink” to nobody.

I HEAR YOU DAN

EVERY TIME

finally watched eps 4-5. i'm not sure i really buy drummer coming over like that, but they did a great job in limited time trying to sell it. the little moments they have -- bobbie and amos in the bar, holden and peaches in the kitchen, drummer and naomi on the bridge -- are so good at developing both the characters and the story.

(it's such a stark contrast with star trek discovery's efforts in this area, where it's all like Character A: hello, i am feeling poorly because of x, y and z, some of which are my parents! then Character B: (simpering) but i believe in you! do you feel seen yet?)

that said, philip's 'dis is woah!' speech was bad and cringeworthy

is that what canada is like

y

filip is always cringeworthy. he’s cringe made flesh.

He's also really sensitive, call him Filip Glass

lol a+

to me he always looks like he’s just done a popper. eyes buggin out, no idea where he is or even his own name

yeah his acting face is the same as “riding electric scooter for the first time”

lmao

s5 e8 which starts with clarissa and amos both peeing lol

in space no one can hear u pee

urine trouble in space

Not seen it yet as only just heard about it, but free webseries starring Cara Gee:

We watched the first five episodes of S6 the last few days. First episode felt off a bit - some worse than usual CGI, a lot of cuts to black that halted the flow, and the Filip/Yoan scenes were badly acted - but it picked up in episode 2 and now I'm fully invested again. I found the book this season is based on to be a bit of a slog but the TV writers have pared it down to the most exciting/interesting moments, as well as added some good new stuff

yeah his acting face is the same as “riding electric scooter for the first time”

clearly the ending will involve Filip, Naomi and Holden riding electric scooters together as a family lol

lmao

Filip Nagata

Pretty satisfying finale. While the action scenes didn't quite match the best ones in previous seasons, I was very drawn in. Some nice quiet moments among the Roci crew. The Laconia storyline was handled pretty poorly in the season though - it was a lot of setup with zero closure. Feels like the writers included it in order to will the next 3 seasons to happen lol. Think it would have been more effective to just have a few minute tease at the end of the finale where we see Duerte observing Xan and the protomolecule ship

I am late to this one. I picked up the first book in the series because it was offered for cheap on Amazon. At first, I thought it was pretty generic sci-fi, but it captured my attention pretty quickly. Still on the fence about whether to watch the series.

there’s a book thread if you want to check that out, jim

Thanks, I will

just when i thought the filip redemption arc couldn't get any worse

good to see some things happening! there was nothing like the intensity of previous seasons though, no real cost to anything

maybe 3 < 1 < 2 < 5 << 4 < 6

holden in an oxford - i know, i know, it’s serious

when drummer says holden and bobby’s plan for the assault is “ingenious, actually - would make a belter proud” and holden gulps and says “thank you” i stated bawling

however i’m happy that the plan ended up being to use protomolecule ring magic to kill marco rather than boring old bullets

Neanderthal called it w the Filip name change!

assault on the railguns intense as fuck.
psychedelic tron shit. low angle of bobby blasting hell for leather from her suit totally iconic

“as long as we’re going to kill marco, i’m in”

“we’re definitely doing that”

reader i yelped

tenye wa chesh gut

marco’s attempt to tell filip he should appreciate what he’s inheriting, filip looking around and just going “uh oh”

just working with your dad to soup up the fastest car that dad’s now driving at top speed toward a cliff with you in the passenger seat

when drummer says holden and bobby’s plan for the assault is “ingenious, actually - would make a belter proud” and holden gulps and says “thank you” i stated bawling

thought it was hilarious that they say they'll explain it shortly, but then Avasarala leaves immediately before they do. wouldn't she be at least curious??

Well, what am I supposed to do with my life now?

I was enjoying the ride of bad ass space battles but after the ring magic destroyed the Pella and they cut to Naomi I did get teary eyed. Otoh she did seem to get over it quickly

loved Marco going dutchman

VEER OFF

Tbf between Naomi breaking down and the next time we see her, months have probably passed.

Well, what am I supposed to do with my life now?

I’d prefer something with believable characters.

Can't remember the last time I was this bummed a show was ending. Sucks so hard this season couldn't have been twice as long.

i'm told that d. idaho and e. ripley were among the members of the assault team
