Re: The ExpanseI love that the books and the show are just different enough to appreciate both. They aren't so different to the extent where it ruins them, but it's different enough to make you smile at points where you recognize the differences. The books give much more insight into the politics, the minds of Holden and Miller, and they enrich the world-building experience to intoxicating levels. The show works really well as a standalone for the non-book readers and conveys the key points without needing to resort to endless exposition. The books have a clear advantage in pacing, and it's more coherent in that regard. The TV series, on the other hand, does a superb job creatively compressing the source material. Top-notch storytelling in both respects! Cibola Burn was always meant to be a western first and foremost (even in the books), and basically takes place on one single planet, Ilus IV. So, what the showrunners decided to do was include elements from Book 5 Nemesis Games (as well as Bobbie's "Gods of Risk" plotline) to help set up the board pieces nicely for season five. Many fans consider Cibola Burn the worst book of the series. "Worst" is a more negative way of describing it than I would like. It is the most different; the least Expanse book in The Expanse series. It's missing some of the things we grew to love about the series. If this were a complete standalone novel about colonists encountering a hostile world combined with dealing with each other's political belief systems, we would all be raving about it. It's a good book on its own, Elvi's arc notwithstanding. It's sort of like a longer novella placed between Abaddon's Gate and Nemesis Games. The events feel small-scale but do have significant repercussions setting up the human and alien storyline of future books. The fact that the showrunners did such an excellent job with the source material gives them a lot of credit in my book. Given Book 5 is considered one of the best, I'm sooo looking forward to next season. Here are some things that I liked and didn't like about this season... ▼Spoiler I want to take this time to say thanks to the production company, Alcon Television. Before Syfy's departure, people like myself were continually backing Alcon and their ownership of the show. Anytime someone hinted at the possibility of Syfy canceling, we were quick to point out that they would simply stop distributing and that Alcon would find another suitor. This ultimately proved correct as Alcon made a deal with Amazon to keep the show going. They were the perfect stewards of this incredible world. Now that this has proven to be a successful partnership, it's easy to forget that Alcon is the company that brought us the show in the first place. Amazon deserves our praise and thanks, but let's not forget about the fine folks over at Alcon for making our show a reality. For me, the holiday cheer fell on two additional days this year - July 27th (S5 announcement), and December 13th (S4 premiere). Re: The ExpanseOk, finished season 4. I've enjoyed every episode but somehow a bit less than previous seasons. Can't really put my finger on it... maybe the full season drop vs. weekly anticipation (in the past) played a role too? I was a bit disappointed by some of the zero gravity scenes (implausible movements of people), weren't those done more convincing in previous seasons? The alien artifacts were awesome, both their scope and the details.

I don't like Tom Cruise, James Cameron and there's lots more to add, give me time I don't like Star Wars or Star Trek or any superhero *hit Re: The ExpanseRe how the seasons have developed, bearing in mind I have not read the novels. The first 3 seasons were all excellent but the first Amazon season not so much. Still very good but for me it strayed into pretty generic scfi territory rather than being something fresh and creative. The first 3 eps of this season have been back to excellent again imo. Glad it's been given an end date. Series that just go on indefinitely until they loose viewers always end up going down hill badly. But I presume the material from the novels will have been all used up by the end of next season. That's a guess. I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.

I think that's one in the background as well. Couldn't help but concentrate my focus on the woman's hair style! I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.

But anyway The Expanse is still great with realistic physics in space which is not always the case with this type of shows. Edit: Is it just me or does Holden look way to thin in season 5, like unhealthy thin? Re: The ExpanseDamn, 5x4! Quite an intense episode... ▼Spoiler HomerS wrote:
