The second season premiere of National Geographic’s phenomenal hybrid series MARS is this Monday, November 12. Part dramatization, part documentary, all science, it’s a fascinating look at how we might get to, and survive on, Mars. The story sticks solidly to scientific facts while exploring the effects of such a mission on the human psyche. […]
Last year, National Geographic launched an ambitious hybrid series about the red planet. Half documentary, half drama, MARS presented a highly realistic interpretation of what it will be like to colonize Mars. The dramatized story told the tale of how the first colonists might make a permanent home for themselves. Interspersed with the story were […]
The struggle was real, but so were the results and the crew of the Rocinante, as well as The Expanse executives, offered their thanks and a few little hints at what the show may feature in 2019 during a video presentation at San Diego Comic Con 2018. Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham, Dominique Tipper, Steven Strait, […]
National Geographic’s hybrid event series Mars returns for its second season in November! The show held a panel at San Diego ComicCon today, and released a trailer for the new season, which begins November 12. Here’s the panel description: The prospect of colonizing Mars and becoming an interplanetary species has never been more palpable. As […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
