It`s some of the best science fiction we got in decades. Really recommend both the books and the show to anybody just remotely interested in the genre.

[@9SMTM6]

One of? If you're just looking at how well they blend realism and a good story its the best. Sure older shows might have just been limited by the technology at the time, but other popular science fiction shows don't even come close to the expanse in realism.

[@normanzoelle5154]

@@9SMTM6 I agree. In terms of realism no other Sci fi franchise can compete. I'm studying physics, and I just love how much of it 100% realistic

[@Mersault26]

Idk, I read the first three books and started Cibola Burn, and I just gave up. The first book is great, but the second book is just the same thing again (except Avasarala). I know it's two authors, and I think I like Abraham but not Frank. So much of it feels pretentious and moralizing, everyone's over emotional, the only characters I like are Avasarala and Miller. And they always act like Miller was a villain or something, Naiomi always telling Holden "don't become Miller". Why is Holden our main character? He's not all that bright, and he just bumbles from one situationto another from pure chance. The most interesting thing in the books is the mysterious alien stuff, but book two has nothing on that, book three has less than it should, focusing on just a bunch of people fighting over nonsense, only spending a chapter or two on the alien station. After that I googled it to see how much we learn in later books, turns out it's very little, so I tried reading book four, and found without that suspense I cared very little about what happens, it started with some people being like "oh thsse people want to colonize our planet, that's bad" then they resort toshooting at each other and talking about morality again, and I gave up. Now tell me, judging by these criticisms would I enjoy the show more? I watched the first episode before the books, but it didn't really peak my interest, and all the greys and the dark lighting made me feel sick. Should I stick through it?

[@normanzoelle5154]

@@Mersault26 The first Episode is in my opinion one of the weaker ones. The Show really does start of slow, but it becomes way faster paced than the books. To like the books, you reall have to be interested in the whole setting, especially the political part of it all. What kept me reading them was manly the thought experiment part of the books, how will technology develop, what challenges will humanity face etc. The characters, though they're not bad, really seem to be subservient to the setting, not the other way around. By that I mean that the characters where written to present the setting. I the end I can only advise you to at least watch the first 3 or 4 Episodes of the show. Btw, I don't know where you were looking, but the second half of Cibola Burns really goes deep into the whole protomolecule thing, and you get a lot of nice background information.

[@Mersault26]

@@normanzoelle5154 Okay, thanks. Maybe I should have finished that one then. I'll try watching thenext few episodes. I like that stuff, the world building, but after the first book you kind of get the idea. I loved the first book, and on it's own it's great, I just didn't like Holden, and I found subsequent books didn't add much of anything. Also I heard a lot of people like Cibola Burn the least. I just googled this stuff, I don't even remember where I heard that. Maybe it's just not for me. Like, I never really liked Star Trek. They're fun enough, but there is nothing in the story or characters that is really engaging. I prefer things like asoiaf, where the characters change a lot, and the story flows nicely but is complex. But I'll go back, give it a try. Thanks.

[@ThePhilNews]

This had to be the best TV show I've ever seen. It takes humanity as a whole and forces it down your throat. There's excitement, suspense, angst, and your daily dose of existential crisis all packed into every single episode. This show encompasses everything we are currently heading towards with space exploration and gives the dreams so many people have form. And it just keeps getting better every season, can't wait for number 5.

"Longest funeral in the history". I like that. The Expanse is the most romantic SF novel book for me.

[@epiccollision]

RedBattalion9000 I don’t know how I feel about that, the refreshing thing was The Expanse wasn’t “the bachelor in space” there’s broad stroke sexuality but the show doesn’t hinge on “while they or won’t they?” If the books are focused on that, its disappointing.

[@robertbrunner847]

@@epiccollision I think RedBattalion is referring to Romanticism, as in the writing is very emotionally driven.

[@galaxcsy]

[@joelfooxiangjie]

Just binged all 3 seasons of the Expanse. Tbh what makes this series so compelling is the fact that each of the great characters is so well integrated into the world. We understand the world through them, and the writers have done a fantastic job at keeping them so related. Miller and Avasarala might be the best characters in sci-fi I've ever encountered.

[@TheAnakinn]

That's what I love about The Expanse, this realism in spacefaring (minus the Epstein Drive). It shows that science fiction doesn't have to be based arround some supposed advanced technology to be entertaining.

[@gamlaman]

Exactly. I really love the concept of the Epstein Drive as a technical worldbuilding device, because it's just this ONE simple thing that's unrealistic but easy to get over, but it allows an incredible world and story to unfold with physics and economics we can recognise from our world. That avoids the problem a show like Star Trek often has, where what is and isn't possible for the characters is either completely unpredictable (which makes the whole story lose tension) or it has to be constantly explained, which becomes a drag. However if you're watching the Expanse, you just need to know 1. they have these rocket engines that work like regular rocket engines but somehow super efficient, just accept that 2. everything else works according to our scientific laws.

[@ZakhadWOW]

@@gamlaman remember, just because we haven't developed the science for the ED, doesnt mean we CAN'T.. I doubt anyone believed it was possible to split or fuse atoms before a certain point. And there are undoubtedly physics issues that apply in deep space we cannot model for on Earth.

[@captainjackpugh6050]

What do they mean by “the drawl was viral”? This was when he talked about the martians. Edit: here’s the quote, 3:18

[@Levermonkey]

Even the Epstein Drive is not beyond the realms of credibility. For any realistic colonisation of the solar system there would have to be a drive system better than conventional rocket engines as they exist now. That there would then be an improvement on that is a given. We went from the Wright Flyer to Concord, and putting a man on the Moon in 63 years. The Epstein Drive is a get around to make The Expanse work but it is not unrealistic. We may not get an Epstein Drive like it is described in the books and series, but we will have something.

[@nayandusoruth2468]

@@gamlaman , even so, fusion drives could theoretically achieve the thrust and efficiency of the Epstein drive (albeit, the radiation and heat dissipation problems are non trivial and relegate it to still being fictional). Do believe scott manley did a video on it.

When the only stuff on TV and in the movies is Star Trek, Star Wars (hardly sci-fi beyond the spaceships), and most of those are more about the action and blowing stuff up in space, The Expanse looks harder than Mike's Hard Lemonade.

I want to read the books so badly, but then I remember how I absolutely loved Game of Thrones season 1 and that made me go buy and read all the ASoIaF books that were out so far, and then for the rest of the show's run I only saw its flaws and its ways that it didn't measure up to the books. I don't want that to happen with The Expanse the show. I think I'm going to wait until the show is over until I read the books.

[@alanpennie8013]

@@wangtoriojackson4315 That's probably a good approach. Watch the show for the twists and turns, then read the books to fill in the details.

[@HandlesAreStupid2024]

I've read the first 5 books. I was someone who had read all of the ASOIAF books before show too so I know what you mean by having reservations. The books absolutely are more in depth and flesh out the story a bit more than the show. Books always do that. I do believe that the show stays true to the identity of each character and the plot in general. All the gripes I have with GoT from Season4+ I have no had thus far for The Expanse. I can say when season 3 finished. I yelled "Fuck this, I am not waiting a whole year for more show. I need to know what happens!" and went out and purchased next 2 books. I had at that point been trying to keep the show and book progression relatively similar so I didn't spoil / ruin anything.

[@andmicbro1]

@Wangtorio Jackson same for me! I was just telling a friend about the Expanse and how watching the TV show has actually been mysterious, and unpredictable, so much so I want to keep watching the show without reading the books, you only get to go through your first time once, and I want to be on the edge of my seat the whole time, not knowing what happens next. I do want to read the books too, but if they are even better than the show then I have something to look forward to after the show is over.

At least Mass Effect has the decency to not even attempt to hide the fact that its spacecraft is actually a jet plane in space. I hope the Expanse will influence the aesthetics of sci-fi, at least to the extent that it stops pretending space is exactly like the sky. But now I'll get back to Mass Effect, which I'm finally playing for the first time. It's as soft as sci-fi gets, but that's okay, because it's awesome.

[@westerssss]

OMG wow!! Thank you for looking into the Expanse. I love this show and love your videos on GOT. I really hope you get deep into this show like you do with GOT. Can't wait for more Expanse videos from you. :)

[@smac3691]

Please do more of this type of video - introducing TV series without spoilers.

[@HugoIF]

Yes! Please do more Expanse. After watching the first season and wanting to know more, this series got me into audiobooks.

The Expanse is the best Sci-fi tv show ever: *Change My Mind*

[@KapilKumar-zl9vf]

Ever heard of Battlestar Galactica?!

[@excession100]

I'm so happy you've made this, its one of my favourite series of books and TV. Its also easy at times to see where GRRM's influence has rubbed off on his old assistant at times when reading the books.

Had no idea gravity could be achieved in spacetravel like that, really intresting

[@epiccollision]

SuperTrisset it’s just so unachievable with current tech, it’s practically science fiction.

The best summary of The Expanse, which I was looking for to send to a friend, unfamiliar with the series.
