![]() Loyalties will be tested, lines will be drawn, and plots will be uncovered…in space!Īll that and we finally have a release date: we’ll be enjoying The Expanse season 5 on Amazon Prime Video on December 16. The big bad this year is Marco Inaros, who manages to unite the various factions in the Belt so they can take on everyone else. The fifth season adapts the fifth book in James S. Amos is headed back to Earth, Naomi is searching for her son, James Holden is still at the head of the Rocinante, and Chrisjen Avasarala is making moves within moves. Ultimately The Expanse feels like a combination of Battlestar Galactica (2005 one) and Firefly, more than any other series I can think of.The gang’s all here. In fact, I'm not sure I can watch any Star Trek show or movie again after The Expanse. Everything that is done wrong in Star Trek Beyond is done correctly in The Expanse. Have you seen Star Trek Beyond (2016) though? That was terrible. * Costumes, sets, graphics, cinematography are all excellent Star Trek. Very Game-of-Thrones-y in this regard, in a good way. It's basically a political/war drama, but it is very well written. I haven't even gushed about the production yet: * Story is detailed, in-depth, and engaging. The Expanse: Sinopsis Doscientos años en el futuro, en un sistema solar totalmente colonizado, el detective de la policía Miller, nacido en el Cinturón de Asteroides, es encargado con la misión. I can't gush enough about the "hard" sci-fi elements. * I love the fact that space craft tracking screens look like legitimate space object tracking screens, with curved, mathematically drawn projected trajectories. In the 24th century, a band of antiheroes unravel a vast conspiracy that threatens the Solar Systems fragile state. The space ships do not fly like fighter jets, like they do in other typical sci fi shows. * I love that every move made by a spaceship has corresponding thrusters pushing it in that direction. * I love the fact that Eros station just looks like a giant potato with a porthole on its butt. The show is set in the future and follows the story of. The presence of Mormons just enriches the worldbuilding. If youre a fan of sci-fi then youre probably familiar with the SyFy channel series The Expanse. And they aren't even the bad guys! (I only state it this way because too often, mysterious religious groups are used as hollywood shorthand for "bad guys"). ![]() * Mormons! There are mormons, because, of course there are. technology such as computer/handheld devices. I can't think of *any* other scifi space show that goes into these details They pump the air out of the ship before a battle, for goodness' sake. * Space ship battles are incredibly thoughtfully designed, with an eye for small details. And they shut gravity off when appropriate. But they emphasize realistic ways to simulate gravity (ships under continuous acceleration, spinning, ring-shaped space stations). Others have gone into good detail of what is good about this show so I'll just add some bullet points that I didn't see covered (although with 250+ reviews I probably just missed 'em) In no particular order other than stream-of-consciousness: * Detailed, realistic science fiction ![]() I only gave it a 9 because I don't like to give anything a 10. I've seen up through S02E03 on Amazon Prime.
