After viewing these three episodes back-to-back, I decided that they all played such an interesting role in moving The Expanse along in its fourth season that I’d meld them into one review that kind of encapsulates the whole, rather than break them into bits. The Expanse hasn’t lost a dang thing, in my estimation, with […]
There’s something fairly beautiful in the chaos of plans not going to plan. Fortunately, The Expanse is one of those shows that continually delivers that kind of beauty – episode by episode. It’s one of the things that marks The Expanse, in my mind, as the taut sci-fi drama/thriller that it is. I don’t get […]
Oh man, there’s a lot to unpack in these two episodes and the board for the season was set early. Now, the players are starting to move and it’s always so very interesting to see what motivates some of these people, as well as the situations that push their respective buttons. One thing is clear, […]
Let’s take a moment, have a deep breath or two, and ponder the glory that was the two-part season-finale for Season 3 of “The Expanse.” Was it me or did we get to experience two hours of tension, twists, turns and, ultimately, a successful extraction from the tentacles of The Ring? The end game was […]
You have to hand it to the creative hands behind The Expanse as EP. 311, “The Fallen World,” used the whole concept of zero gravity as not only the backdrop to the episode, but another character in the drama that is playing out inside The Ring. I don’t know if I can recall a show […]
After the action of the last few episodes of The Expanse, EP 309 put the brakes on a bit as the pieces were moved into place for the next phase of what has been a stellar season thus far. “Intransigence” delivered a little more information about what The Ring entailed as the Rocinante opened a […]
Things are definitely getting interesting with The Ring, but as we all know the big news this past week was the revelation that Amazon owner Jeff Bezos negotiated his way into reviving The Expanse for at last a fourth season. The news was a thunderclap announcement to the show’s fandom and one that certainly shows […]
Before we look at this week’s episode, “Immolation,” a few thoughts on the elephant in the Rocinante lunch room. Syfy’s announcement that this season will be its last with The Expanse hit fans hard. While I understand the ratings and why those are important to a company’s bottom line, I was disappointed with the news […]
What exactly is “the work?” While feeling sorry for the rapid development of the protomolecule in Katoa and the pain he is undergoing in the process, he did spit out a little bit of a tease, Golum-like. Linked as he is to the protomolecule collective consciousness, he told Dr. Strickland and Jules-Pierre Mao that “the […]
Let’s just say that “The Expanse” is 3-for-3 thus far in the new season and move along. Loved this episode. The show once again delivered a compelling and interesting episode that saw the Secretary-General ultimately up the ante on the war with Mars — to devastating consequences on earth’s soil. The finish of the episode […]
