I really think killing off Alex was a mistake on the shows part

Muchly

did anyone else notice the doctor who reference when Rosenfeld says "I don't wanna go" before dying? which was the last line David Tennant's doctor says before regenerating.

Grunch

Another thing a lot of people miss.... The first volley fired by the Pella, Lauber, and Gannicus (and the return volley by the Roci) are all high quality Martian torpedoes. However towards the end of the fight, the Pella is using cheap Belter torpedoes. Whether this is deliberate - they know the Roci is taking out thier expensive Martian torpedoes so are trying to empty thier PDC magazines with cheap Belter torpedoes, with the aim of finishing the fight by going back to Martian torpedoes, or that the Pella actually exhausted its supply of Martian torpedoes and they are struggling to get more, is not known, but one thing is clear - Inaros by this point no longer has a reliable supply of Martian torpedoes, and probably other Martian tech, which is one reason he is hurrying up with his plan to make for the ring systems.....

Powered by a huge central nuclear reactor - weak spot. Yeah, pretty sure the Empire discovered that little nugget long before the people living during the events of The Expanse.

Great breakdown of the battle, I've watched this video at least 3 times since it came out. Please also take this as honest feedback, the constant switching between present simple and past simple when narrating is super distracting. Usually one picks one a narrative tense and sticks with it, it'll make your video seem a lot more professional than it already is with just a little checking. Again, great video and well done!

Ftl got my like

Still love seeing these videos when they come up on my recommendations. I'd just add, the visual cones for the PDCs at the 4.15 mark are likely nothing more than a cool visual effect, not an AOE, as they will shoot in a straight line. If they really represent anything then they are most likely the area that the individual targeting sensors on the PDC can 'see'. I always love how the panels on the Expanse are actually functional rather than random buttons as on Star Trek.

All UN ships look like boxes held together by tape and luck

I know this is a new comment but what happened to the ship which was disappeared by the space time anomaly during the transit? I'm curious but if you don't have an answer I will respect that.

I loved this show so much I watched it twice in six months. I'm finding a bit of a dearth of worthwhile things to watch so I might make it 3.

The only thing i cant understand about this ship is the lack of an axial railgun .. i think simularly size earth warships do have them...

Honestly I like concept C better

Edits are too close. Eg 1:29 should stay on screen for 3-5 seconds more

time to rewatch the entire series for the 2nd time

The sequence where Amos was flying toward the railgun in his ejection seat was simultaneously hilarious and terrifying

So the Orion class has less PDC's than the Rocinante? Seems weird. Having more torps is pointless if you get smoked before being able to fire enough off.

It’s not like you’re going to do a break down on a crap scene is it

Can we please get a short mini series for the last few books? I want to see the Magnetar in action, and so does everyone else.

I love that when they had their budget slashed, they went wit ha shorter, high quality season instead of a standard length season with a lower budget.

I thought all the stuff with the Laconia empire was cool in the books. A shame they cancelled the show just short of that story.

Wow

What happened with all the other battle groups though? Did they win those fights?

That's GUNNERY SERGEANT Roberta Draper.

One of the best battle in space opera history.

in the Books the Behemoth was armed with torpedo bays and several railguns. However, they feared to use them because the ship would probably break from firing them. Sam removed them to enable the spin of the station once more ...

Imagine stealing an advanced martian ship, being able to fool and destroy UNN battleships, seed terror across the universe and still lose to a cowboy and his armored girlfriend in a small frigate.

UN didnt had quantity over quality it just that most of their fleet was old

They took "Quantity over quality" to the extreme with the Leonidas Class, that was already outdated before production

The effective range of rge railun is basically the range where it can expect to hit. In space this basically means a range close enough your enemy doesn't have time to dodge or their evasive maneuvers take them away from where they were expected to be.

Whay happen to the protomolecule?

Did anyone else notice Hicks and Hudson (from aliens) were two names on the screen with the heart rate monitor in this episode? 25 mins.39 seconds in?

Good recap and I really miss this series. I'm an old scifi fan and this simply bests any I've seen

Damn nice video.

Awesome breakdown!

marco was so repulsive

A already miss the show why cancel it am pretty sure there lord of the rings show is a flop yet they kept it there was loads of other shows they could have cancelled and kept the expanse running a love how they didn’t end it but left it open for the 30 year time jump hopefully they continue to season 7 at some point and pray they don’t consider a reboot

Don't do DUMBASS narration. Good Luck with your channel...

Screw them lets bring this back and extend it with fan made content.

That's what I've called it!!!!! 360 no scope with a freaking rail gun is one of the coolest things I've seen in science fiction.

All of the space fights, and even physical, body to body fights as described in the books just go amazingly well in the show ! I actually feel shocked by this insanity of an accuracy that's being held on when it comes to these details ! I'm OMFG... I love this show and books and BTW, I'm at the end, THE END as in 2 chapters before the end of Leviathan's Fall right now and wooooow ! This is the best SciFi I've ever read/experienced !

I remember saison 1 episode 1 thinking "is this shit a Z Nation kind of show". I had to rewatch the first episode just after watching because i couldn't explain to myself what the actual fuck was happenning with the blue stuff and the bad lightning.. But here i am, 6 season later loving every part of it. To be fair about Z Nation tho, i kinda miss it

Plus in a few years following the Laconia spinoff you'd get the original cast back aged by a few decades to complete the story

Amazing video!

One of TV's most egregious travesties, when Amazon failed to increase the viewership of the most amazing sci-fi series ever made. May their shame haunt them for all eternity....

There are 3 other books and they talk a lot about Laconia, Paolo Cortizar gets a redemption arc.

Nice video. However, you mention a Laconia spin off....you do know about Persepolis Rising, Tiamat's Wrath and Leviathan Falls? We don't need a spin off, we just need someone to make continue the TV show using books 7, 8 and 9......which are amazing by the way!
