well, maybe don’t do any of those things. but this is good sci-fi.

Quoted for truth (and because I missed it before somehow).

Mission accomplished

TL;DR expect it in 2019

Hahaha love SyFy plugging the show they cancelled on their own blog! This is already more pre-season advertising/hype than they ever did when it was still their show, too.

It would be confusing if Syfy started making sense, so it makes sense that they are confusing.

And the Siffy Paradox was christened.

Who else is excited for season 5?!

I really love this series.

The first three episodes of season 5 will drop on December 16, then the rest will release weekly after that.

I’ll pick this up just as The Mandalorian season 2 ends.

Book 5 was incredible. I’m so excited to see it unfold on screen.

Season five starts next month and it’s already renewed for a final sixth season. I usually preface my opinions with “favorite” instead of “best” but I’m going to come out and say The Expanse is objectively one of the best sci-fi series of all time. Complex characters, compelling plots, gorgeous cinematography, and arguably the most scientifically accurate.

The first half of the first season can be a little hard to follow for some, but it picks up after that and really takes off. There are just so many factions and different motivations throughout the series. I pick up something new every time I rewatch it. I highly recommend.

Super bummed that we won’t get the final 3 books on screen, but (from what I hear, I’m not that far in the books yet) the sixth book serves as a conclusion before a large time skip and a very different final trilogy, so maybe it’s for the best. And maybe this means a few years down the line, if there’s demand for it, they’ll get the cast back to do the last 3 books in some form.

So, based on everything I’ve read so far, The Expanse is hard science fiction with a strong emphasis on being as scientifically plausible as possible, with a few artistic liberties.

The authors of the books would push back on the “hard science fiction” label, but overall yeah, that’s largely accurate.

Sounds like the best possible sci-fi to me.

This season is the best so far, especially Marco Inaros. He’s killing it.
