Still a great show, but not sure if this season really moved along the overall story. Pretty much setting up for a new big conflict next season.
Also really didn't learn anything more about the builders and their destroyer.
I did enjoy Naomi and Alex vs the Edward Israel Militia, it created some really good tension in the book especially since it was made personal between Holden and Murtry after Naomi was captured.TMoney2007 said:
I can see why they did it, and it probably works fine (I only watched the first episode last night), but in the book, Alex and Naomi can't survive on the planet due to the gravity so they have to stay in orbit.
It set up a big part of the action in the book and the crew being separated brought them closer together when they are reunited.
Just continue to watch.TMoney2007 said:

Personally, this was my least favorite book in the series and this plotline right here was absolutely my least favorite part of the whole series.Champ Bailey said:hunter2012 said:I did enjoy Naomi and Alex vs the Edward Israel Militia, it created some really good tension in the book especially since it was made personal between Holden and Murtry after Naomi was captured.TMoney2007 said:

Plus Havelock training the engineers was good comic relief for how depressing everything down on Ilus was.
The belters killed a bunch of their friends and the Roci's crew were helping them.JRC0811 said:Personally, this was my least favorite book in the series and this plotline right here was absolutely my least favorite part of the whole series.Champ Bailey said:hunter2012 said:I did enjoy Naomi and Alex vs the Edward Israel Militia, it created some really good tension in the book especially since it was made personal between Holden and Murtry after Naomi was captured.TMoney2007 said:

It made no sense how rabid these supposedly highly educated/trained engineers became in all the fighting with the Rocinante crew, especially with the situation EVERYONE was in on the planet.
I guess I should have lightened up and just taken it as comic relief, but, I kept hoping Amos would get sent up the well to single handedly murder that whole plotline. I was almost tempted to put the series down after this book, but, thankfully I found book five to be pretty awesome.
The part with the belters I completely understand... I guess during my reading I didn't think the Roci crew was THAT involved with the Belter crew to warrant the RCE guys trying to blow up the ship. Can we add in how I thought the horny scientist subplot was pretty dumb, too?TMoney2007 said:The belters killed a bunch of their friends and the Roci's crew were helping them.JRC0811 said:

Part of it has less to do with reality and more to do with people reacting irrationally. Holt and the crew of the Roci pretty consistently try to stay on the side of right instead of being loyal to one side or another, but they get lumped in with one side or another whenever there is a conflict (or in this case both sides). I'd forgotten the horny scientist part of the book...JRC0811 said:The part with the belters I completely understand...

Only through episode 4, but enjoying it so far. I am glad they switched Amazon, Chrisjen can finally talk like her character.
I'll be honest, from reading the books I always had Jason Momoa as Marcos. But I guess he is busy being Aquaman.
I don't think they should cast anyone who is all yoked out as a belter. They're supposed to be adapted to life on the float.TSJ said:

Just now checking out Expanse. Does this improve from season 1?
no. you can go now.claym711 said:
You could tell me how long the bad acting and dialogue lasts before it gets good. Or was the question not obvious enough?
The book that this season covers was almost exclusively on Ilus, so if anything, it was even slower.MBAR said:
I love this show but for me this season seriously dragged in the middle. Plot was way too slow.

Just finished. That was a ******* great season. I feel like the pacing was good, and there was enough given to us to know what was happening back in the Sol system. I feel like they have a great setup for season five.
The final segment of Klaes' boarding action was phenomenal. His character changed from someone I loathed last season to someone who turned into an interesting character who spoke softly and acted calculated, yet defiant to the end. I'm looking forward to the payoff from him sending the transmission next season.

finished the books last night and man does this series have potential in future seasons based off of source material. If they stick to it this could be one of the best sci fi series ever!
