Sometimes it’s useful to be reminded that those of us who love good sci-fi, love it for more than cool ships, daring adventures and battles in the far reaches of space. Sometimes, good sci-fi is a revealing conversation in the bowel’s of what feels like an impossible situation amidst an otherwordly backdrop. And that’s what […]
Last week I mentioned the season finale feel of episode 306 of The Expanse, and judging by what we saw in Episode 307, that sentiment was fairly accurate. We jumped ahead some months after the events of last week’s episode to find that not only had Saddavir Errinwright been jailed, the secretary-general had resigned, the […]
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 […]
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 […]
If the season-opener of The Expanse was a hearty sci-fi meal, then episode 2, “IFF,” was a well-earned and ample desert. Once again, it was an on-point example of what makes this show one of the leaders in the genre right now. I’m sure for you, the enthusiastic consumer of “The Expanse,” there have been […]
This is not how Martian solder Bobbie Draper imagined it. Episode 207 of The Expanse is called “The Seventh Man” and gives us a big dose of Draper and the journey she takes after the battle at Ganymede. She discovers that what she thinks, what people want to hear and where the truth lies has […]
With one potential disaster seemingly averted, the many unique personalities populating episode 206 of “The Expanse” begin to look to their own wants, needs and desires. Change is afoot in “Paradigm Shift,” which leads us down a path of differing priorities for just about everyone involved. When Eros and the asteroid it was attached to […]
Just a man, his nuclear device and the great unknown of an alien protomolecule awaiting his eventual arrival. For Joe Miller, Episode 205 of “The Expanse” certainly offered definition to the phrase, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” “Home” is the title of “The Expanse’s” Feb. 22 offering and as the episode moves along, […]
Detective Joe Miller is a tired, cynical man who seemed to finally find his purpose during episode 204 of “The Expanse” Wednesday night. In “Godspeed,” it looked for all the world as though Miller was going to get to go out in a blaze of selfless glory to save the universe from the deadly protomolecule. He […]
And you thought the nightmare of Eros was behind us. It’s certain Captain Holden and the rest of the gang on the Rocinante thought (or hoped) that what they’d witnessed would forever be left in the past. But as Wednesday’s new episode of The Expanse (“Static”) started to unwind, it became clear that the nightmare […]
