The Expanse Series Finale Explained | The Takeaway | Prime Video

[@Farsythe]

My take is that we need more of The Expanse. Seriously it is probably one of the best science fiction shows out there (if not THE best). I'd rather not wait 10-30 years to see and hear about this amazing cast of characters again.

[@alexanderpauli2835]

7 - 9 are the best books of the whole series in my opinion. Have fun! It's so good, that the end of the story is for everyone available. I would be thankful, if there will be more seasons in the future. But I have doubts, if this last books can properly be realized on screen. The limits were obvious, when the ring entities eats Sauvertere and later Marco. It is so much more to experience in reading, because you can tell things you can't show. This will be a much, much bigger thing in the books 8 and 9.

No reason to keep with the 30 year time jump. Makes no difference to the story. 5 years. 10 years. Both would work for the story.

[@fortis17]

@@WarPoodle I’d be inclined to agree with that much of a time skip. 30 years is quite a leap, even if this civilization has 200 plus more years of medical advancement, to keep ppl living longer lives.

[@dgd947a15fl]

@@WarPoodle Yeah, and then 5 years would let them use the same actors. 30 years seemed to suspend my disbelief a bit (in a show that's so great because it makes everything believable). Like, after 3 decades you never bothered to check in with that system composed of a rogue Martian fleet? Who Marco gave the protomolecule to in exchange for all those ships to begin with? And who somehow provided Marco with those huge railguns? 30 years seems like a long time for nobody anywhere in Sol to bother trying to check in on the Laconians.

[@jjiang7488]

The 30 year time skip to me (as someone who has read the books) makes perfect sense given whats going on in Laconia. It has also been stated that the average lifespan for an earther was 123 year and even longer for martians. So the age gap is not as extreme. Just put a bit of makeup or a little CG editing should do the trick.

[@jjiang7488]

@@dgd947a15fl Mars and Earth had much bigger, more immediate problems to deal with than Duarte’s experiment. For example, Earth has been sent to environmental oblivion with the rocks. Yay, famines! The dream of mars is disintegrating with the discovery of hundreds of perfectly habitable worlds with no need of generational terraforming. Its safe to say that the economies of mars and earth are mere shells of their former selves and now that holden gives the belt the power to control of the transport union, things don’t look too good for the inners. Their militaries are exhausted and need time to rebuild all of the critical infrastructure around the sol system. Given these circumstances, the Sol powers will be wary of Laconia and treat as a more advanced version of North Korea (an isolationist totalitarian state). I could say more but don’t want to broadcast any more book spoilers than I already have.

Then it would have taken police power to put down the protesters, all of that is dictatorial and authoritarian. It’s racist bc the Trump administration is highlighted with authentic white supremacist such as Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, two top White House advisors to Trump. The Republican Party is rife with white supremacists senators and reps and sympathizers all down the line across state legislatures. Trump in his own words that white Nationalists were fine people.

[@icadre4420]

They stuck the landing. Especially for a series finale with only 6 episodes and noticeably far less episodes than any past season. I’m gloriously happy with the cast, who’s emotion-filled performance pulled it off; but INCREDIBLY ANNOYED with Amazon. The final episode deserved to be two - especially the epic fighting scenes. I mean come on - we spent all of season five + six building up to this fight! Every episode of 6 felt rushed - and even more so with the Laconia intros. In fact, the Laconia intros originally gave me false hope that the season would at least be a full order of episodes because I thought to myself ‘there’s no way they would introduce new characters in the last season without some sort of resolution.’ Then my next thought was that no one in Amazon nor any of the actors were saying the show was actually definitively over. Everyone was very intentional with their words, which made me think either another network would / will pick it up or that a spin off is on the way for the last three books. The other hint to this is the easter egg at the verrrrry end of the credits on the series finale. (Which I only found because I was lamenting that the show was over and trying to see if there was a ‘just kidding stay tuned for season seven.’ Here’s hoping…) I will greatly miss The Expanse and it’s characters. Every new season, I completely rewatch the entire series. What an incredibly talented cast and all star production. There is no other cast that could have pulled off the depth and complexity of each character, the nuances of their intertwined relationships, and the biopolitical chessboard of a colonized space. The diversity on the show - across so many levels, lifestyles and just human ways of being - is a mirror of what other shows should aspire to reflect. To run a 6-season syfy show that actually factually represents and recreates the science of space - especially of space - requires such thoughtful attention to detail and represents an outstanding achievement. There are so many times the graphics or the settings could have been corny or overly fantasized. The score is awesome, I play it on spotify all the time. The spacecraft and stations are architectural marvels outfitted with the best that engineering has to offer. Everyone who contributed to this show in ANY way should be extraordinarily proud. With today’s accelerated commercialization of space, stories like this on a wide platform are an inspirational necessity and cautionary tale. The Expanse serves as an accessible, timely yet hopeful reminder of our own humanity. Bravo.

[@Michael-ez3zg]

I was so worried that they were not going to stick the landing in a 6 episode season. They did and as always, it was a well written story and conclusion. However, the "Karen" in me still would have love a 13 episode season. I want to speak to the Manager!

[@ross-carlson]

And by "stuck the landing" you mean started and didn't resolve a number of new and old plot points and totally left us hanging? Or did I miss the episodes that covered: - Who/what were the entities? - What did they want? - Did they kill everyone or did someone else? Why? - What were the "dogs"? - What was the deal with the kid? Why show us that? - What was the "spaceship"? What did it do? - What did the guy who was going to "kill gods" do? What was his goal? - Where did Filip go? Why not just kill him for some impact? And that's off the top of my head. LOVED the show up to season 6 which was a huge disappointment. Binge watched the entire thing over 2 weeks ending yesterday, planned that way as was super bummed with the lack of resolution of so much stuff. I shouldn't need to do homework or hope there are more seasons that 99% will not come to know what actually was going on. Is that what you mean by "stuck the landing"?

Those are answers that are in book 7 not 6.

​@@ross-carlson That's true. But you can look at it in a different way. There are still stories to be told and currently are being written.

Maybe not for tomorrow or next year, but who knows some days we get to see a continuation of the on screen stories in some form; a 7th season, a movie or even a sequel.

I loved the finale but like all the other fans would love for TV seasons 7-9 to be made, so the final 3 books can be adapted

[@namespacestd131]

Am I the only one who is not happy about the ending? I mean come on, a 6 episode last season when previous seasons had 10-13 episodes. Everything felt a bit rushed in. They built the story of the mysterious ring aliens, the rise of Marco Inaros's Free Navy - these are all gone in 6 episodes? I mean hey this series is probably the most accurate, top notch visuals sci-fi show ever. And they have done a great amount of work to bring the story here. Why end it in 6 episodes only? If they took 10 or 13 episodes and more time to prepare the final battle sequence and change the beltar's minds it would have felt more realistic and appropriate. It felt like Marco Inaros's Free Navy didn't have much of an impact other than throwing rocks and blowing up docks in Ceres. Pff I was really hyped but disappointed at the same time when I heard it will be a 6 episode last season. They hurried it, believe me they hurried it man. The show deserved a more well built ending with lots of characters getting high in emotion.

[@nperegri]

I agree. I wish there was more time dedicated to the build-up and final showdown with Inaros. Six episodes was way too meager, the last battle would have had more weight in one dedicated episode or over two, if they absolutely insist on having multiple plot lines running at the same time. Though I must say that s as short as the last battle episode was, it had some spectacular moments.

This is by far the BEST sci fi series ever made. I will fully support and purchase the whole collection telling Amazon that this show DESERVES a continuation. Let me put it this way, we haven't seen a super massive battle yet. Imagine if we get one. This will eventually be a movie but the series is nothing short of amazing. The writing was top notch. The acting was almost flawless. I cried few times. Shohreh Aghdashloo is an actress that is on another level of her personal career. SHE MADE her character authentic. Like her many other shined too.

[@dhairya_gala]

The Expanse has to be one of the best written and directed Sci-Fi shows which delves in to real-life problems which may occur once humanity ventures out into our neighboring planetary bodies, very well protraying the political and conflicts amongst each other, a very well known Human trait and how it affects our future in face of grave unknown dangers. With that in mind, this makes a great segway into future seasons with protomolecule and ring elements defining future of our species, where most other Sci-fi films / shows would have directly jumped on to.

A Martian Shipyards ship design video game would be kinda cool.

[@andreamanconi6023]

we need 3 more seasons, one for each book missing

[@grezny479]

Great show Only thing I had amazon for.

[@MariAiel]

Loved Drummers story arc, I've been a big fan of hers from the beginning. Will miss Amos and Bobbie, and the whole crew, spose ill have to find the time to read the books

[@LordTelperion]

Good analysis.

[@davedogge2280]

The takeaway from this is a) steal a fast ship b) invest in anti asteroid defense system for Earth.

[@dearyvettetn4489]

I’m so glad that the series finished well even with the shortened season. I have three more books to read and all of the novellas and I have to say that although the tv adaptations differs, the tv story absolutely doesn’t disappoint. Well done to everyone involved 👍🏾

[@dragoninthewest1]

You mean the final season so far. The queen of Earth herself has spoken

[@cliffordfortner4020]

I agree, don't want the show to end

[@charruaporelmundo]

We have 1373 ring gates, 1 Rocinante with full crew. Vamos Amazon,…. Spin off is more than obvious!!

[@arthurwilliam8929]

NEED A SEQUEL PLEASE

[@tordb]

So say we all!

[@kevosims2012]

The take away is that Amazon is beyond stupid for limiting such a successful series, with an incredibly loyal fanbase, to SIX EPISODES!!! I mean, it was beyond bad enough your writers killed Alex Kamal last season (I mean, he only lived to the very end of all 9 books), but to make the writers go from 10 to 6 episodes!? Stupid stupid stupid.

Why was Holden in that meeting? I mean I know he’s there because the the main protagonist. But realistically why would he be invited to a meeting between the leadership of the 3 power groups?

[@tallaganda83]

Saving the universe could earn you a seat I would imagine.

[@seecarr11]

For the same reason he was selected to be the first president of the TU. He was the only impartial body that would be respected and acknowledged by all parts of the solar system. In a meeting like that you'd definitely need an unbiased arbiter to keep it from devolving into a screaming match among the parties.

The events depicted in season 6 on Laconia do not take place in the far distant future. They take place in the past. Holden arrives on Laconia later and comes in conflict with Duarte, his daughter and the use of the protomolecule in books 7, 8 and 9. It is important to get the timeline correct as it has relevancy for any future television show.
