The Expanse: 22 Things You Missed

The hostilities between the various part of the solar system has really started to heat up with the Free Navy hurtling asteroids everywhere and causing long time foes like Earth, Mars, and even the Belt to come together and go, “Nah, this guy is nuts.” Nothing unifies factions like an unhinged lunatic. It’s such a distracting conflict that no one seems to even notice that on the other side of the ring colonists seem to have landed on a Pet Cemetary planet with creatures bringing back zombie-like versions of dead things. That’s super crazy, but everyone has to stop this would be Alexander. If that kind of thing can go under the radar then it might be easy to miss the beavy of references and nods that have happened throughout the series. From a strike force filled with icons of science fiction to names that have double and triple meanings to a borderline obsession with the Canadian prog rock band Rush. Seriously, there’s a lot of Rush in this show. Pulling from fantasy and sci fi to even hitting the original viral sensation or the grandfather of all parody movies, the show has paid big tributes to the properties that came before it. In the last episode of season 6 there were at least 30 references in one shot. That’s what happens when no one is watching the art department. What hidden gems did you find in the hard sci fi series?

Which episode do you feel could've been done better?

[@uwillnevahno6837]

2:26 How'd you miss: the BSG reference to Kara Thrace, the Terminator reference Sarah Connor and the Stargate reference Jack O'Neil? Also not only do they name a ship "Shaka Zulu" but The Expanse sort of uses his bull horn tactic.

[@Josh_Freeman]

This one, maybe by giving the narrator a list of phonetically spelled names?

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodNitpicker]

This one. See previous comments. Especially learn how to pronounce RociNaNte. I mean seriously, what do you have against the letter N?

[@johnmoore-fm9db]

This whole thing was a mess, you clearly have never seen the show, mispronounced EVERY name, and half your facts are wrong. No mention of the heavy Greek mythology influence, for example "Juliette Andromeda Mao", as in Andromeda tied to a rock to be sacrificed to the leviathan that is pretty much the whole first season, Eros the god of love that covered us to S2E5. Try watching the show, or reading the book or you could play the game that you say didn't exist, Shed died in the show because someone couldn't carry on playing and they keep it.

[@thecatalystpoet]

How did you manage to mispronounce almost every single name?

[@jageralpha5170]

[@Miclpea]

Even the author names were mispronounced!

[@MandosaWright]

He also said Macedonia wrong

[@reezlaw]

Roci'ante, Donnagher, Scalopi, Marcos Inaros... I get that the voice actor is not the same person who wrote the script but at least double check with him...

[@psyberiusblack]

Not to mention “Day-leks” 🙄. Good video. But the incorrect pronunciations are killing my fragile little OCD brain LOL.

[@rbarnett3200]

How did he even get Scalopi from Scopuli? If you're going to do a narration about a sci-fi show, you should probably, at the very least, know how Dalek is pronounced too. Dr.Who has been around for about 70 years, so there's a reasonable chance you would have heard the word Dalek without even having seen the show.

Not just the best Sci-Fi show but best thing I ever had the pleasure of watching on a screen in my lifetime. Crazy to think that I initially rejected the show (only got to episode 2) only to come back to it years later and deem it the best ever!!! So many folks are missing out on this one!

[@Doggcow]

So sad it doesn't get to run its course...

[@CodyGraham]

I did the same. I didn't give it the attention it deserves the first time I tried watching it. Now, its my favorite space / sci-fi show

Call the ships the rights names, did you even watch the show?

[@CraiuRemusArmand]

If we got by the last WoT video, they clearly didn't...

[@elementneon]

probably just a voice actor reading a script poorly

[@SilencerNate]

The first "easter egg" I saw was when I saw episode one. Not a true easter egg, but I enjoyed it. About 15 minutes into the first episode you see the pilot put his hands on the flight equipment. It is the A-10 Warthog flight joystick and throttle. I have the exact same thing on my desk.

[@tfo1379]

It’s called the Tachi not the toshi

Is anyone else annoyed that the narrator messes up the name of nearly every ship? The Rociante (Rocinante) the Toshi (Tachi) and the Donnag-er (Donnager) He even calls the Twin Towers in NY the "Two Towers".

[@H3llb0und]

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy... He says rociante when the name of the ship is on screen and it clearly reads rociNante. How do these people even have jobs?

[@KillVill75]

How he pronounced Scopuli was my favorite

[@Jacurutu]

You have never seen this show, obviously.

[@user-xq9ox2xd3i]

Lol you called it

"RociAnte" lol

[@tfo1379]

Best tv show ever, also watch one ship if you haven’t

[@TomTom-tq6rs]

I really liked it, too! I even got my family and friends to watch it and they are big fans now. Edit: Found the series! Indiens even know that existed! Thank you very much for mentioning it :)

[@ElenarMT]

EVERYBODY EXCEPT 1, missed the real sound of Saturn as recorded by the Cassini Space probe in S1 E1. It was overlaid with the distress signal from the Scopuli. I posted this on my Reddit thread in the Expanse sub So damn cool. I love how even by the 7th rewatch, you can notice things you've never seen before. Split seconds of a screen sometimes. Bloody brilliant

[@jeffreyeyerly1145]

$1 says the narrator has never actually seen the show.

[@kenthart7519]

You missed the Icarus patch on Marco Inaros' uniform. The allusion speaks for itself

[@PHDiaz-vv7yo]

“Ro-ci-ante” Every time he misses the n was like nails dragging on a blackboard

[@piro190]

2:51 Avasarala contacts include her husbands name, who got recasted between seasons. As did Clegane. As did every other character on this list. THAT'S THE JOKE. That and your horrible speling when it came to ship's names - you blew this one

[@RagingEmmissary]

LITERALLY the best show out right now, and I love that it's getting more exposure, I NEEED that 7th season ASAP

[@reezlaw]

It is

[@truejim]

If they made a 7th season though, one that follows the big time-jump in the novels, I would like to see older actors play these characters. But then...would the snow be as good with different actors? I think so, but it's also possible that the original series was lightning in a bottle.

[@reezlaw]

@@truejim well, it depends on how you want to portray it. I think even in the books it is stated that they don't look the full 30 years older due to advancements in technology etc. so maybe the same actors some 5 years later with a bit of makeup could work

[@Anonymous-iw4hx]

in the last episode, when bobbie is about to be shot dead, the attackers weapon is identified by bobbies power armor as a BFG 9001, epic!

[@LordofSyn]

Bobbie is a badass, that is all!

[@hellwashere3821]

bobbie is the most SJW casting ive seen in a while, truly cringe everytime she is on screen, she isnt even on shape for the role she is doing, not realistic at all.

"Foehammer" is also a call sign of pilot taking Master Chief in first Halo game.

[@fabiorabelo3506]

Please, can you, narrator, at least watch SOME episodes before made the video ??? you mispronounced at least half of names !!!!!! ( remember, this was made to please FANS )

[@BenVost]

Pronunciation police here. It's Jason Nesmith (/nesmiθ/), but even more importantly, the Doctor's biggest foes are the Daleks - pronounced dah-lek, not daylek (/dʌ'lek/)

[@PabloDePauw]

Best scifi series ever made

[@skepticalbadger]

The main thing I missed was the writing, editing and pacing of Seasons 1-4.

[@stevenarthur2792]

S5 and 6 lost the core essence of the show. Did anyone give a fk about the belts war driven thru some fkhead wanka who should've been spaced in an earlier season

[@Lance37a]

John Anderton not Anderson.

[@ivan29849]

This serie did not get the recognition it deserves

[@matthewgould9391]

They didn’t mention the cool part about Avasarala’s contact list. They are all characters that have been re-casted to different actors at some point. Sir Gregor Clegane was re-casted 3 times. Arjun, her husband was re-casted in season 4. Vivian Banks was recasted after the original actress became too much to handle. And Dr Who has had a couple recasts itself.

[@dwaynehicks6838]

Doctor who and the dayleks 😂 it's pronounced dah leks , just watched rest of the video ,he butcher's Every ship name 🤦

[@hellwashere3821]

looks like they missed all the ship names themselves

[@VexLament]

You can tell by the numerous mispronunciations that this person has NEVER seen the show.

[@BenVost]

And Scopuli! Not "Scəlopi". Did no-one check this video before it was published?

[@Wanhope2]

"here's these things, that we probably will not name or show"

[@jimhalpert9421]

It is mindboggling how you guys keep messing up this type of video so badly. Just show the footage in the video of what you are talking about while you are talking about it. Is that really so difficult? Oh, and maybe brief your narrator at least a litle bit on how to pronounce stuff. Thank you.

[@dgd947a15fl]

I feel like there's a good story to be told about Filip going off and becoming a monk on meditation retreat in the outer planets for the rest of his life. Would make a good sub-plot to explore some philosophical and spiritual themes.

[@3333ton]

The sins of our father is a good short story about what happened to Filip. Just don't read it if you haven't read the last main book yet.

[@andrewexum394]

I am utterly shocked you let this video get produced. I'm not usually a stickler for stuff like this but I damn. The actual one name you should get right on pronunciation is the main ship. One, just one damn video on anything of that series and you'll know the pronunciation but no you just decided to wing it.

[@surfacingcom]

Say Daylek one more time. I dare you.

[@Kahnovitch]

I miss endings that aren't rushed and actually bother to finish the stories that they started.

[@symbiantscycling]

[@ethal1222]

The names on Avasarala's tablet are all TV characters who were re-cast at some point, a reference to her husband being played by two different actors.

I enjoyed the video, but winced every time the narrator mispronounced a ship name. “Ross-eee-an-tee”?? “Ska-poo-lee”? There was one more bad one that escapes me. I’m sure that the narrator is just a voice actor, not a fan, but geez, it was painful to listen to. I was kicking myself for not picking up on the names of the drop troops - Hicks and Hudson? Duncan Idaho? How could I have missed that?
