The Expanse Season 4

[Carnage]

I'm a big fan of the sci-fi genre and today the 4th season of The Expanse has been released. I've followed the series from the start on the Syfy channel and was suprised and sad when it got cancelled after three seasons. Luckily Amazon picked it up after a fan petition and renewed it for a 4th and 5th season. I'm planning to subscribe to Prime during the holidays to continue watching it, but I was wondering if any of you have already started watching the 4th season and can tell me if it's just as good or even better as the previous seasons (without spoiling anything obviously).

YES! Watch it, it's just as good as past seasons so far, and the CGI is still top-of-the-line. Definitely recommend. Gonna continue watching tonight

[JackFarmer]

Wicked. Just found out that the BD for season 3 is now available in Germany. Will buy it as soon as possible.

Thank you for reminding me!

 

 

[esme]

Yep, every bit as good as the first 3 seasons

[Carnage]

Watched the first episode and am hooked again right away. Shame it's just 10 episodes...

[Amadeus]

Better to have 10 quality episodes then 15 or 20 mediocre ones IMO

[grayman]

Watching now.

Excellent.

[Amadeus]

I'm also pretty excited that they started filming season 5 already. We definitely won't have to wait (relatively) long for the next season. Now I'm tempted to rewatch the whole series again. It's been a while, Beltalowda!

[grayman]

Have you read the books?

[Amadeus]

Yep, love 'em. But I need to catch up on the newest short stories. Haven't read Strange Dogs yet

[Destined]

Wait, there are books? Thank you guys, now I have a Christmas present for my girlfriend I have not watched the series myself (yet), but she really enjoyed it, so if the books are good, this would be perfect for her

[Amadeus]

haha, yep. The first book is called Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey (which is actually two authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). Fun fact, Daniel Abraham actually worked together with George RR Martin quite a bit

[grayman]

The first 3 books.

[Destined]

Thanks! Got her the first three books. She currently prefers to read on her Kindle, but as a Christmas present, I prefer something physical. Well, she will have to live with it

[esme]

oooo books

[Bienie]

Thanks for the tip, I definitely have to pick this series back up at some point! Best Sci-Fi series I've ever seen I think.

I love the Expanse since the beginning. Great serious gritty realism-ish sci-fi series with a great cast on par with Falling Skies.

The first thing I noticed that's different this year thanks to its' move to Amazon is the unfiltered colorful language, mostly by Ambassador Avasarala. I get the feeling she has been wanting to talk that way for a loooong while.

Everyone who loves sci-fi operas should check out this show. It's like if Mass Effect was brought to TV.

 

[grayman]

Binged the new season on Mon/Tue.

Fantastic show.

Waiting for season 5 now. (Tap tap tap ...)

[JackFarmer]

 

Take me to Tycho!

[Carnage]

I''ve seen 5 episodes now and am going to watch the last 5 this weekend. If time wasn't an issue though I would have watched them all in one go. What an incredible series and I really hope it will go on for a lot more seasons. All the characters are so strong. Might give the books a try afterwards, but as the series stays pretty close to every book I rather watch the series first and then read the books for extra story.

This exists because Jeff Bezos wants to be a space baron.

[Amadeus]

Let's be real though, who doesn't want to be a space baron?

[Destined]

The books were a success. Currently, my girlfriend is struggling to endure the Christmas festivities, while she actually wants ro read them.
