Just watched the series finale…for now, and I don’t even know what to say… this show has to be, without a doubt, the best hard science fiction show of my generation and I really, really hope we’ll get more in the future.

[@MathiasFritsche]

Hope that too 😭

[@yidneth]

Same, too many unexplained things... Snif

[@GraveTecMediaGroup]

Its Not even finished, it feels Not finished, there Must come more…!

[@yidneth]

@@GraveTecMediaGroup same as with Dark Crystal age of resistance dunno if we will have to settle for unresolved questions, I know there are the books, but consider the series different enough to not know. Anyway it was rescued once, but I have the feeling it is a farewell to the series and felt hurried and without closure in some questions

[@Prophatcy78]

I’m reading the next book Persepolis Rising and I can say it’s so worth it to keep going with the show!

[@kbnikto6056]

Never skipped the show opening just for this. So ethereal, so miasmic, so hypnotic, so f****** awesome!

[@AnthonyCobb182]

Totally agree!

[@daddyleon]

Often I skip back to play it again

erm not sure 'miasmic' is the word you were looking for here - try mesmerizing instead ;-)

[@damonrowsell2393]

I sincerely hope that we'll be able to see an adaptation of Persepolis Rising, Tiamat's Wrath, and Leviathan Falls in the future. So many amazing moments are still to come.

[@MegaCityGhost]

Just finished book 9 a week ago. Amazing trilogy, so epic.

[@jAkiosn]

@@MegaCityGhost Months late pickyness. But only 3 books makes a trilogy. The Expanse book series is more accuratly called an Ennalogy by people even nerdier than i am.

[@MegaCityGhost]

@@jAkiosn Yeah, by trilogy I meant the books 7-9. There's a 30 year time jump after book 6, and there's a completely new conflict going on so it is kind of a separate trilogy in that sense.

[@jAkiosn]

@@MegaCityGhost Ah, if you separate act 2 then that kind of makes sense lol.

I keep coming back to this cover because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger. 🙏🏼

[@sarangerande9587]

The most realistic science fiction web series.....♥️♥️♥️🥰

[@connorbingel7134]

The song truly gives a scale to the whole show. I love it

[@MathiasFritsche]

Thank you! 😊

[@_zurr]

The way you've used the instruments in this one really captures the "how far we've come" spirit of the original. It feels more like something you'd find in the opening of a Civilization game, showcasing humanity's achievements through the ages. A sort of sibling to the show's theme. Incredible work!

[@MathiasFritsche]

Thank you for your comment! 🙏 😊

[@user-wy3xj2tf3n]

best sci-fi show ever

[@MathiasFritsche]

True! :)

[@copiapoahaseltoniana6846]

The Expanse for me is the best sci.fi. I have seen to date and I have read and watched a lot of it in my life.

[@TheNameCannotBeFound]

I'm genuinely crying a bit right now. This show is so special to me, I've never been more enamored by such a story before. Thank you for making an extended version of that powerful yet so overwhelming intro song.

[@MathiasFritsche]

🙏🙂

[@christophedifo1623]

Same. This is I think one of the best stories ever told. It changed me.

[@davidkosa]

Great theme for an even greater series. What an amazing story.

[@joeyisprobablysleeping8056]

I love this opening sequence. It's one I never skip bc I always want to hear the song. I searched for an extended version & found this...thank you for creating one! You've made a lot of nerds happy 🤓 It's now on one of my Spotify playlists! Oh, I see you covered GOT...the same composer did the opening sequence for Westworld (Ramin Djawadi), another one of my favorites. I'd listen to an extended version of that any day.

[@MathiasFritsche]

Thank you really much 🙏

[@DJamzie]

Totally agree with this Buzzy, Shorter's original was great but Mathias really accentuated all the best elements of it. I'm only an amateur in this area but the one thing I missed in this cover (and the original) is strong vocal harmonies, I think this track is just screaming out for it! Over all...amazing!

Worthy of standing alongside TV, movie and game series like Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Halo and Mass Effect. Remember Kent.

This reminded me of the first time I heard the theme... Great work kopeng mi!

[@MathiasFritsche]

Do you wanna hear some more Theme Cover from The Expanse? Or do you have any suggestions for ohter ones? 😊

[@roochie1824]

Yes to more from The Expanse. What about Enders Game? Great Soundtrack I would love to hear your cover version

[@matthewspears6932]

I feel like this doesn’t go too overboard and stays along with the central theme yet takes some creative liberties at the same time. It kind of reminds me of Halo also. Good work !

[@MathiasFritsche]

Thank you very much 🙏😊

Best show on TV

[@PartyElevatorProd]

I just finished reading Leviathan Falls moments ago. This was the perfect way to process my feelings. Thank you!

[@MathiasFritsche]

👍😊

[@Virjunior01]

I must ask.... do the books wreck the show? Because the show is *badass.*

[@PartyElevatorProd]

@@Virjunior01 Not at all! Like most adaptations, many things are cut, characters are combined into one, and plots are simplified. The books have the "time" to go deeper in every direction, and the experience is richer for it!

[@Virjunior01]

@@PartyElevatorProd sorry, by "wreck," I mean will they pretty much make the show look terrible?

Great work with this one! I always believed that the original version was as long as it needed to be. This one is "spiced" up a little more, so it can make you "travel" longer. Thanx for sharing this!

This show won't die.. pretty sure they will come back

[@MathiasFritsche]

I hope so 👍

[@Yavin4]

I'm in the last book of the series, and I don't see how they can do the final three books without the Alex character. He's essential to a lot of the plot towards the end. I would re-do the whole series.

[@dominic.h.3363]

While this cover is certainly more... it's too much. The original had just the right amount of instrumentation that it had this eerie, somber feel to it. This cover doesn't carry that tone, it feels more dynamic, more certain, more determined, there is none of the original's "being afraid of the dark" feel present. It's a great piece of music, undoubtedly, but it doesn't capture the original's sense of danger and apprehensiveness.
