The Expanse

Duarte helped out the Free Navy and gave them a bunch of martian military tech (like the stealth tech to hide the asteroids) so he could slip out w his rogue Martian fleet to Laconia. But the Free Navy didnt take control of the fleet.

 

My god can literally every inaros family member please just die. Every one of them is just excruciating and awful. There's got to be a better villain for this story than clown ass Marcos. That scene where the underling is trying to get him to be serious about food supplies - so pathetic.

 

I hate this 1 episode per week thing so much. I’m just going to wait until they’re all released.

 

i'm about to rewatch but i feel like the martian navy just being given up to inaros was heavily implied. will comment after

 

i guess there is some hidden Drummer backstory video hidden in the Amazon x-ray thing as well

 

marco doesn't have the belter scar/tattoo

i didn't catch it the first time but he killed anderson dawes, i guess? a legend among the belters

 

naomi uses the slur "rock hopper" freely

 

..

 

I feel like this is a fairly consistent trend among “revolutionaries” who don’t realize governing is hard, to be fair.

 

Bobbie is such a badass

 

So what do we think is gonna happen with that ring world creature they always start episodes with? Or is this already answered in the books, I haven’t read

 

I think they’re including bits from the final few books that they aren’t filming.

 

"how do i get one of those suits?"

"you'd only hurt yourself, peewee"

 

Bobbie is GOAT

 

Marco said the Inners would redeploy their fleet… does he have a plan for when this happens?

 

I assume but it looked to me like she redeployed the fleet before Holden Et All had succeeded in knocking out the comms ship. So the fleet could be amongst the Free Navy much earlier than Marco anticipated.

(I’ve read the books but it’s been a while since I read this one so this is discussion not spoilers)

 

What did Holden show Bobbie? Something about something looking weird when the ships moved through the rings?

 

The MCRN ship getting fucked up from the end of season 5, I think

 

Yup

 

Great episode. That space battle was great.

 

"She loves it when you call her that"
"At least I do it to her face"


anyway Marcos is such a stupid child jfc

 

last two episodes were incredible- both space fights rocked

Marco such an idiot for running into that fight

 

we're halfway through :/

 

i had to read the expanse subreddit to understand what happened in that fight

Spoiler

on first watch i thought they hit the pella with the rail gun

forcing the pella into the path of bunch of pre-fired bullets at that distance and at that speed was super cool, and a ridiculous shot by bobbie after switching to "manual"

 

i watched the bonus content that you can access from the xray stuff. they're like ~5 minutes long apiece. they're ok.

Spoiler

bobbie and amos fight in 3

 

the martian mech suits being able to withstand crazy g-forces like that was a nice touch after setting them up as a people who thought about nothing but war and terraforming

 

they’re really slow playing the telepathic alien dogs

 

That last battle ruled. Marco continues to underestimate the Rosi and her crew. So far this season has been fantastic. Wish it wasn't so short tho

 

Are they telepathic or fucking surgeons?
Both?

 

SIAP

Thee Expanse’s production company filmed an additional 25 minutes of story across five vignettes, which you can only access through Amazon’s X-Ray service by pausing the show and scrolling through otherwise hidden menus. (They’re under Bonus Content.)

You'd think I'd be used to how short the damn episodes are by now

 

This season has kind of sucked so far. Aside from a couple cool battles, not much has happened. With only 2 episodes left, it feels like it’s trending towards a rushed ending that feels unsatisfying. And is the protomolecule just not a thing anymore? I always thought that was the main threat rather than the Belters.

 

There is no way they can just end this shoe in two episodes

 

the last of the protomolecule was taken through the laconia ring. they're using it to build that ship in orbit

 

Some explanation of however they got from the Barkeith to whatever that is would be helpful. I like this season but it all does seem like we are headed to a rushed or limited conclusion, and then someone can tell me to read the books to figure it all out.

 

The protomolecule was taken to Laconia before the Barkeith was destroyed. You see that from Cortezar's transmission right before the Barkeith enters the Laconia ring and disappears

I think this is what you were asking anyway

 

yeah i don't know how they're going to wrap this up in 2 episodes and have it be good

Spoiler

i was expecting duarte to be older

 

Good episode.

 

No Amos & Chrissie interaction?

Notice how much better the show is with less screen time for Marco

 

that episode by itself wasn't bad but as the 2nd to last in the series it was pretty meh

 

Marcos and Baby Marcos are both so bad it’s really taking me out of the show.

 

how does this end in one episode.

 

I would watch it obviously but I kind of hope they don't do some half-assed movie to tie up the loose ends

And aren't there like 3 more books that haven't even been touched?

 

Apparently the finale is a longer ep.

 

Overall I have enjoyed this season I just feel like not much has happened for it to end with 1 more episode. I don't mind Marco/Filip as much as some do but I definitely agree its frustrating for them to be the focus this close to the finale.

 

Last three books are like 30 years later and starts a new story so ending it here is a pretty natural closing point.

 

i loved it

 

Spoiler

That was a funny ass anticlimactic way to off the tedious shitty principal antagonist of your story

 

So is the show over now? If so I’ll binge season 6

 

Enjoyed the finale

Not by any means a critical point so not spoiling, and I probably forgot just exactly what happened, but did the Mormons ever figure out “hey, that’s our giant ass station”?
