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 […]
While season 2 of The Expanse continues to fade in the rearview mirror, I find myself asking questions about what went on this past season, and what might be possible in the future. The who, what, why, when and where of season 2 has been a fun exercise in rehashing what we saw while simultaneously playing out possible […]
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 […]
From laser focus to a nice turning of the tables and some well-earned redemption, Ep. 212 of The Expanse delivered interesting twists and turns during “The Monster and the Rocket.” When it was over, we found Captain Holden doing the right thing to support Naomi Nagata’s “right thing” while others were doing their own twisted version […]
As I watched Ep. 211 of The Expanse unfold, I was reminded of the lyrics from an Iron Maiden classic when Bobbie Draper did the unthinkable, “Run to the hills, run for your lives…” Emotionally beaten down, the honor she thought was hers by duty and deed ripped asunder, she did something that was more […]
I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a couple weeks now. In “The Weeping Somnambulist,” Episode 209 of The Expanse, two ladies with very different motivations, but fundamental strength and understanding of honor and duty, get face-to-face at last. Martian soldier Bobbie Draper and U.N. bigwig Chrisjen Avasarala are two characters I’ve come to […]
Syfy Channel just made The Expanse fans’ hearts beat a little faster with the announcement that the popular sci-fi TV show will get a third season. The 13-episode new season will land sometime in 2018. “The Expanse is a gorgeous, thrilling, emotional series that has quite simply raised the bar for science fiction on television,” […]
There was certainly some betrayal in the air in this week’s Episode 208 of “The Expanse.” Twists and turns are nice, but there’s just something about naked, unrepentant self-serving opportunism that really makes an episode hum. And this week’s offering, “Pyre,” had some very nice examples of that. The event that brought so many people together only […]
