Rewatching The Expanse. I remember I was very critical of it first time around, but I also had the books fresh in my mind then. Second time around, I’m enjoying it a lot more.

Just finished the 3rd season. From what I remember tho, the show goes off the rails before ScyFy drops it, and then Amazon has to fight to get it back on the rails before it gets good again.

My biggest gripe of course with the show is that they quit with the Earth, Mars, Belter conflict resolution and we never get to see the cool alien war.

Still, it’s worth a watch for those who haven’t seen it. It’s solid sci-fi and it scratches a certain space itch.

We are at just about the right spot to get (most of) the original cast back and pick things up.

Hopefully Captive's War will be decent as well. I'm enjoying the books.

Oh wow! Thanks! I didn’t even know about this new series by these guys. I’ll check it out!

But yeah I forgot about the Earthers who disappeared behind a gate and told everyone fuck off, then emerge as a fascist nation.

Been reading The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky which with its similarities (and differences) to The Expanse it got me itching to revisit the series. I’d have no doubt that Tchaikovsky was inspired by S A Corey when writing it.

Maybe it's been long enough. I'll rewatch the first half, anyway.

I'm running out of things to watch, so thanks for the reminder.

I really enjoyed the expanse, it is something I need to watch again soon.
