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, […]
Gotta admit that it was like welcoming the return of long lost friends and family. The Expanse returned for its fourth season with a nice little bang on Dec. 13 with a new 10 episode season on Amazon Prime. It has been a while, but the things we’ve always loved about this show are still […]
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 […]
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 […]
At long last, “The Expanse” has returned to the warm bosom of its passionate fandom. The season opener delivered so much of what we love about this show — taut storylines, emotional interaction, snappy editing, the delicious twists and turns, and of course, the three horsemen of the apocalypse — Bobbie Draper, Chrisjen Asavarala and […]
At long last, The Expanse season 3 is nearly upon us. The new season kicks off Wednesday, April 11, and judging by the tingling vibrations from the social media reactions, it’s a development worth celebrating. As we look toward a new season, I’m taking a look back at season 2 and some of the questions […]
Perhaps no one summed things up better during the season two finale of “The Expanse” than Naomi at episode’s end when she declared, “The Protomolecule is part of the equation and it will be from now on. We can’t change that. We can’t wish it away. Earth has it, Mars has it, and the Belt […]
