The Expanse Reaction! 3x7 - Delta-V

[@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb]

Yes, this is the beginning of book 3. Hang on tight because after spending over 10 episodes for each of the first 2 books you are about to see an entire book in 7 episodes. They weren't sure if there was going be a season 4 so they needed to wrap things up cleanly by the end of the season, just in case. That means that things needed to be trimmed to make sure it would all fit. The series was dropped after this season by the channel that was carrying them and we only have more seasons because Amazon came to the rescue.

Delta-V - when this episode hits those watching 😁

Basically, you should view Season 1 as 01x01-02x05, and Season 2 as 02x06-03x06. Season 3 is 03x07-03x13. After that it's one book per season.

"I wanted to see that guy get his due". Yeah, I feel you. However, there are sooooo many things happening in this and the upcoming episodes. There just wasn't time to show you "non-important" stuff like Errinwright getting his due. I guess the best way for you (and us) to handle this situation is to treat episodes 3x7 - 3x13 as a separate season (season 3.5?). That way, it makes more sense that there is a time gap and some things have happened which we didn't see. I mean, they could have added an episode to bridge the gap between 3x6 and 3x7. However, it's not easy: Errinweight getting his due, and Bobby going back to be a Marine are probably things that didn't happen overnight. So how do you make an episode which tells these stories nicely, without dropping the pace of the show to near zero?

So we finally got a true belly laugh out of you.

I dont always laugh at gruesome deaths, but when I do, it's when I watch The Expanse.

Yes episode 6 was the end of book 2 and episode 7 is the beginning of the 3rd book. It's very jarring, but hold on because it's SOOOOOO GOOD!! At least in my opinion! Your disappointment is very disappointing! You say you love this show, but are very critical without giving the show runners the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you should rewatch this episode? In any case I hope you stick with it!

[@RGFamReacts]

I'm critical in an appreciative and inquisitive way. You can love things overall, but not like everything. It was jarring, but your right it certainly picks up, as I'm 3 episodes ahead right now ;)

@@RGFamReacts ok awesome! I know you have a lot on your plate but if you ever get the chance to rewatch this show you would be amazed just how wonderful the writing, directing, acting and everything is. Enjoy!

@@jamesholland5761 Curious.....was there a time gap between when episode 6 and 7 aired?

[@jamesholland5761]

@@RGFamReacts I'm not real sure. I do know that SyFy had told The Expanse showrunners that this would be the last season they would air. Basically canceled. That's when the fandom spoke up and started the SaveTheExpanse campaign that our wonderful friend BelindaR was involved in who occasionally drops in the comment section!
