The Expanse (Page 8 of 11)

I remember that I did not like to break brain in the Protomolecule maze But in this season all clear, who blew up who and why, plus Amos adventures were nice.

Btw, just by reading that article above

And I cannot treat Admiral Sauveterre seriously since I have seen White Collar

good not too long to wait.  I think it is the best scifi show active at the moment

Teaser looks good, I hope they bring the show to a good end. I was a bit disappointed with how Amazon took over, but then there's this:

I don't think it's likely, but imagine if Apple or Peacock would continue the show.

An early Christmas gift!

snoozefest? What ever that is it is not that! The Expanse is atleast interesting detailing the first steps into outer space with the solar system and there are actors and characters who are attractive and interesting. other than that black woman and her antics in her own ship trying to warn  the good guys her ship is booby trapped. I zip through that part

South African accents? You mean the belter accents? It is strange and  interesting how some find shows exciting that others find the opposite. To what extent do you think is down to liking the characters and actors playing them?

I've moved the The Expanse discussion into the The Expanse thread.

How can I say it's dull?  Because I think it's dull.  It's my opinion.  I'm sure others here agree but can't be bothered to comment.  Maybe others love it, think it's a fantastic, action-packed, adrenaline fuelled extravaganza, but I don't.

Oh....The Expanse. ....heres a little story.. And please bear with me, I might be rambling a bit but keep in mind that Im from Norway and english is not my first language

When I first met my now married wife for soon to be...umm...MANY years....... I introduced her to Babylon 5 and she LOVED it!!!. I watched B5 as much as I could when it was "aired" (yeah - "aired" its a thing) in Norway the first (and only) time. I then (when modems got good enough connections) downloaded a very low bitrate version of the entire B5 and watched every episode once...in order...then twice and then a third time. Im still rewatching B5. But Im wandering off topic. Now...after getting hooked on B5 and loving the way JMS built up an arc and telling it over several seasons with a definite ending Ive never looked back so to speak. Anthology and movies and series with stories ending with the end of each episode is all fine I guess - but having this story-arc and buildup and not atleast the defined ending BEFORE starting to shoot the first ep has been and is very appealing to me. ....now...ok...back to my current wife (because the first time I watched B5 "aired" I was with my first wife.....which HATED sci-fi - I remember showing her an episode of B5 and she made fun of G'Kars "mask" that he was wearing....and I guess the marriage went sideways after that....) - anyways - after introducing B5 to my current, we watched "Third rock from the sun" together - and its a HILLARIOUS ride...and I then introduced her to BSG which we both LOVED....and then MANY of the "mainstream" shows.... sorry rambling...there IS a point I promise.....

NOW....I had seen trailers for "The Expanse" and it looked VERY promising. So much so that I was counting the days for S01E01....but I decided to let season 1 "go by" so that current wife and I could binge the season when it was ready. And we did .....start.....with s01e01..... Wife fell asleep I guess some 30mins in or something. Now, this COULD be due to her being way more "settled" in our relationship....or it COULD be due to her simply being tired, but it could very well be because it was.....DULL!!!. Because I also was nodding a lot ...not only to s01e01 but also to e02 and e03.....we then decided to lay The Expanse to rest. It was - to us - very dull....

However...months later...years? I see this trailer for The Expanse ...I think s03 or S04 in my youtube-feed and I watch it...and Im thinking..."umm...wait a minute".... I decide to give it another go.....

I watched s01e01..then e02.....3.....4......5-----6-----

and....

OH MY!!! HOLYBALONYGHEEEZUZCHRIST am I in for a lovable treat!!!!

The Expanse is most definately up there alongside B5, BSG and the best of StarTrek - there is NO doubt in my mind but yeah...it takes some investment on "your part"....seeing besides the corny hat....ignoring the dialects-issue etc..

Thanks for sharing, looks good!
