Another S4 trailer came out the other day.
The Expanse Official Season 4 Trailer

seems to be the same thing.

'The Expanse' season 4 trailer shows the world beyond the Ring Gate has a brief commentary. S4 is coming Dec 13.

I have watched the first 2 season , so need to catch up on the third season.

Love this show !

I finally finished season 4. I had turned on Amazon Prime for a month (I'm not normally a subscriber) to watch Man in the High Castle's final season, order an item and watch S4 of The Expanse.

I don't know how much I want to spoil or say but there is a lot more profanity in this version than what was aired on SyFy. I enjoyed S4 overall. If you liked season 1 thru 3 enough to watch all the eps, may as well turn on Prime for a month to watch S4.

Supposedly, ‘The Expanse’ Renewed for Season 5 at Amazon. I'm looking forward to that.

I don't know how much I want to spoil or say but there is a lot more profanity in this version than what was aired on SyFy.

I noticed The Expanse is listed twice:

• The Expanse - season 1-3 episodes are all rated as TV-14
• The Expanse (4K UHD) - season 1-3 episodes are rated as 13+, TV-14, and 16+

I suspect the non-4K is the as censored for SyFy, while the 16+ episodes of the 4K version will have Chrisjen Avasarala cursing up a storm.

They really went next level on the profanity. Regardless, the production quality of the show improved dramatically at Amazon.

We have several more seasons to look forward to.

Jeff Bezos is a fan of the books and show.

So yeah.

Seems like S5:E4 became available a day earlier than the date in https://twitter.com/ExpanseOnPrime/status/1316393333170737152?s=20. I saw that a few hours ago elsewhere and just re-confirmed via a computer.

 

[cwerdna]

Wow. S5:E4 was really good. A LOT happens in that one.

I learned from The Expanse Season 5 that there are apparently after shows at https://www.youtube.com/c/PrimeVideo/search?query=expanse. I haven't had a chance to watch any of them yet. I took a peek at the one for S5:E4.

 

[Mo City]

S5E4 is the best episodes ever.

It was great Amazon took over production in S4 because the material was relatively weak but the production was next level. In S5, the material also goes next level.

Just wow!

 

[cwerdna]

Looks like S5:E5 is available now.

 

[cwerdna]

was uploaded before S5 started so there shouldn't be any spoilers.

Seems like many people didn't like S5:E8 "Hard Vacuum" w/Naomi going back and forth into the area w/no air in the Chetzemoka. I can see where they're coming from.

TIL there have been different “after shows” than what’s up on YouTube on the Amazon Prime channel (Ty and that guy).

On the X-Ray content for eps in at least S4 and S5, at least on iOS clients, under bonus content is another after show that’s 3-5 minutes long.

It doesn’t seem to exist on their Roku 3, Apple TV 4K and Android TV/Google TV clients. At least on iOS you can’t cast those short after shows and they also block AirPlay from an iPad of that content.

I've been going thru them backwards starting from end of S5. I'm now at the end of S4.

BTW, the ending for S5 was really good. Too bad the "Ty and that guy" after show for the finale wasn't that insightful, esp. about what happened at the end.

Supposedly the ending of the S5 finale was changed due to ‘The Expanse’ Star Cas Anvar Investigated Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations – Deadline and Why Alex Won't Be In Expanse Season 6: Cas Anvar Controversy Explained.

The Expanse's Steven Strait, Wes Chatham call final season a 'love letter' to fans with 'every beat justified' at NYCC confirms the final season will only be 6 eps.

 

[cwerdna]

For those who finished season 5 and find Marco Inaros over the top, about 8:38 into

, you can hear the actor who plays Marco talking and behaving normally. It's quite refreshing. He answers the question about how he got the role.

 

[ayavner]

Season 6 underway....

 

[cwerdna]

I'm all caught up. As I posted athttps://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=30421&p=615769#p615769:
Yep on the x-ray bonus content: PSA: You’ll miss 25 minutes of The Expanse’s final season if you don’t pause it.

The 3 extra videos (so far) weren't visible for me via Prime's Roku 3 nor Apple TV 4K app. I ended up using their iPad app to see that content. I'm kinda sad that this is the final season.

Also, TIL there are some compelling videos at https://twitter.com/ExpanseOnPrime.

 

[cwerdna]

I'm all caught up. Too bad the show's over.

Season 3 was the last season at one point too

The writers were clearly attempting to set the stage since the Laconia scenes really didn't advance the main narrative at all.

Yeah. There's that and the show left things open-ended.

I haven't read the books but some folks at The Expanse Season Six (SPOILERS) have and have been discussing. I doubt there'd ever be a feature film in theaters (The Expanse is too small of a niche, I suspect) but I could see someone doing a followup series, mini-series or "TV movie".

It is kinda funny to see how different certain actors in real life are from their characters, namely (especially) Drummer and Marco Inaros. In one of the videos (probably Ty and that guy), the actors commented how crazy it was to find an actor for Filip that looks so much like if Marco and Naomi had a child together.

Clinton Shorter is definitely quite a talented composer. Glad they got someone who turned out to be pretty good. The worst sci-fi music I can remember in recent decades had to be for Crusade (B5 spinoff which I didn't find to be good either).

There's also a ~30 year gap in the books between book 6 and 7. Be interesting to see if they get older actors or try to age the current cast.

'The Expanse' kinda ruined other Sci-Fi for me. There was an episode of 'Space Dock' about how silly the Death Star is. You invest all these resources in a giant laser when you can accomplish the same with a large rock or ball of ice (asteroid or comet), a computer and a smallish rocket.
