He was a "villain" that could at some level be understood; IMO, it is easy to dismiss someone like errinwright as a warmonger, but paranoia between nuclear armed super powers is a very real phenomena and he was a very well made personification of that problem. But also, Errinwright was a real force to reckoned with and displayed such good acting skills all the way along.

I think another reason the Expanse is so good is because of the heavy use of real life physics when it comes to space. Obviously the Epstein drive and the high G juice is a plot device but it is still all based in real physics when it comes to ships traversing the solar system. It is by far the most realistic sci-fi show when it comes to internal ship layout, use of inertia to provide artificial gravity when in flight, the concept of flipping and burning to get where you need to go and a bunch of other really well thought out concepts they included in the show.

Real physics makes The Expanse stand out from the crowd. My first exposure to the show was a clip of the Battle of Thoth Station in Season 2. It was stunned by how epic, tense, and thrilling a fight between two spaceships could be. Another plus is The Expanse doesn't get bog down in the science. It's believable that character in-universe wouldn't offer a dull lecture on how an Epstein Drive creates gravity. The characters view an Epstein Drive as mundane as an internal combustion engine. As a result, The Expanse can focus on compelling stories.

Same thing with the flip and burn maneuvers to slow down, and the unconventional ship layouts by scifi standards to take advantage of the acceleration of the engines to great faux gravity. Icing on the cake was the realistic space battles where high speed debris from damaged or destroyed ships is lethal if you are too close

I only discovered this series last week and finished Season 4 yesterday. This was the biggest surprise to me. I started off interested, then liking it then completely loving it by the end and left wanting more. Hands down this is the best Sci-Fi series I have seen in probably decades. There are a few qualms I have with some of the plot points but they are so completely overshadowed by what I love about it that I don't even find them worth mentioning really. The character development is superb and they don't rely on retelling the same story every season. Every time I think they must have gone as far as they could go with the story, they introduce another path and off we go again. It's so refreshing to see a real Sci-Fi show again. I can't believe it took me so long to find it. This should be on every Sci-Fi lover's watch list.

The comedic elements run the gamut from bathroom to very cerebral. In all, it is a well thought out narrative on the human condition. With a nice twist at the end."

"Needs more risk/consequences." Oh you sweet summer child. Season 5 will be amazing.

No galactic voids or racing around the stars or interstellar travel - this is set in our solar system (at least the first three season) and all the places they go and see are REAL. On of the directors who was new to the show, ask why Eros looked that way, it wasn't right - then someone pointed out that the picture of eros he was looking at was a REAL picture and that Eros was a real place - and that's how it actually looked. Would have loved to learn his reaction. This basic grounding in reality is one of the things that make it great!

As a die hard Star Trek fan, who also watched Star Wars & Battlestar Galactica, *The Expanse is the best of them all.* It starts off with a lot of world building, which some may find tedious at first, thinking this is bathroom break dialog. Only to realize you need to re-watch those episodes later, after realizing this is a well written show, not filled with fluff, to satisfy subscription quantity episodes.

the Expanse, dethroned DS9 as my favorite Sci-Fi Show by a long shot. And those who've seen DS9 know how great it is. My heart still beats for Trek, because I grew up with it, but my mind can't let go of the Expanse, I'm so excited for S6!

One of very few TV shows that I have rewatched multiple times. Bearing in mind how young it is that's even more a sign of the sheer quality and depth of it. It genuinely REWARDS rewatching. So much depth as well as utterly awesome characterisation. I love the fact that space actually feels dangerous and that the protomolecule is so alien. We are watching a true classic being made much like the protomolecule making the gate and who knows where it will take us?

Thanks for posting this episode! I love The Expanse and I think it's waaaaay underappreciated. Keep up the content. P.S. Nick Tarabay reminds me of Temuera Morrison (aka Jango Fett). Both are hardcore dudes in-universe and have a certain swagger to them.

Oye belta!

My two fav characters are Klaes Ashford and Camina... whereas the rest of the belters drive me nuts these two are great characters and actors. The dynamic between them is 10/10 enjoyable in every scene they have together. They both have this super high intensity esp Camina that's really impressive and it translates well to the way they act out the characters. Amos is a close 3rd.

1:19 and that's right there is why you guys are gonna last. People who willing acknowledge a mistake and correct it shouldn't be so rare...

my major complaint with the show is more a quibbling over the fact that the aesthetic was altered in places here and there... mostly because they had to, I know.... The Belters' very obvious physical look was obviously going to have to change (I am assuming that Hollywood isn't busting at the seams with seven and a half feet tall emaciated people to play all the belters floating around...) Dominique Tipper is WAAAAAAAAAY too short to actually be Naomi, but since she acts THE HADES out of the role, I'm not complaining... just an example of how things had to shift. I felt like Holden and Amos were both aged DOWN from how the book described them, but I might not be remembering that just right. A bigger complaint again is the way the book sort of took a, I don't know, bottom to top approach, in showing the plot unfold which helped pace it better than the show pulled off... I think it's just a difference in medium playing out, but it's a major reason I like the book better than the show. Like I said, it's mostly quibbling, and understandable... every person everywhere should watch the show.

Thanks for the shout out to Nick Taraby, who I never heard of until now. What talent! I'm definitely following this guy's career. You also zero in on how The Expanse uses story to make the audience asks questions instead of being preachy. That's another thing that quickly appealed to me. Finally, the protomolecule is the most brilliant twist on alien tech and first contact with aliens I've even seen. So, welcome to The Expanse, and I look forward to more videos.

Welcome to the churn beltalowda! Great too ten to make the case for folks to check it out. Hopefully in the lockdown it find more viewers as we all want for season five.

Simply the best science fiction series ever. As a physicist I especially appreciate the attention to detail associated with respect to getting the science as accurate as possible while maintaining the pace of storytelling. Absolutely the best.

Read the novels.

Technical perception is a limiting factor in most Sci Fi, La

Never a better simile: "Like drinking from an oasis in a desert of shit". You got yourself another subscriber.

Watched the show, read the books and then watched commentary like this to relive it all again. I always thought I was a Star Wars person. I know now that I am an Expanse person to the core. One more thing. I always thought Gaius Baltar had an awesome arc of hybris/fall/redemption. Amos has indeed one of similar magnitude from psychotic beginning to finding a moral compass in others, to developing his own guiding moral sense. It was a joy to watch.

Fabulous rundown... My faves 1 - Amos 2 - Bobby 3 - Avasarala 4 - Camina but jeez soo many of the others so memorable.

It's a show that shows when you put some effort into you get a really amazing show. Something most networks aren't willing to do unfortunately

As someone who hasn't seen even a single episode or trailer, this to me look visually like a precursor to halo. The proto molecule makes me think of the precursors or the flood.

People have said if you're a fan of halo or mass effect then watch the expanse cuz it's like the live version of it.

"Higher stakes" - so 100+ billion people in S1, 3 billion in S2, everyone in S3, and the future of interstellar colonisation in S4 is not high enough?

Haha yes first viewer of the video, I absolutely love this channel.

Cool thanks. Allen and Ben's(American and British), please make a video about your favourite real military combat equipment and gear in different movies?

Thanks for turning more people onto the Expanse. It is a criminally underrated show!

This show is so good, it make it seem realistic but still science fiction

a big TY for this recommendation. I've heard a lot of good things about The Expanse ... Ok, _fine_ , I will look it up. 😉😁 (I didn't watch Picard. Now I am glad that I missed it 🤯😉. I'm a big Patrick Stewart fan but I didn't think his character had enough depth)

I binge watched the Expanse Seasons on Amazon Prime. Great show. Cant wait till the next season.

One option that most people immediately reject when confronted with interpersonal conflict is to pull out a gun and shoot the other person in the head. There are probably a lot of good reasons to reject that option, especially if you live within the strictures of a law-abiding society. Amos lived outside that society all of his life, and he continues to do so in the violent world of The Expanse where being part of a crew of a nuclear missile-equipped Martian stealth destroyer insulates him from the legal consequences of shooting people in the head. It helps with the "love Amos" ethos that he has not yet shot anybody that didn't need to be killed. We all love instant justice. It is heart-warming in a world where actual justice through the court system is either not obtainable, or something that takes years to play out.

I enjoyed four seasons, then read the books. And I loved both, I am overall happy with how the show creators transformed the plot. There will be high stakes in later episodes, there are some in the books.

This show caught me by surprise, it is breathtaking.i love how this show makes space dangerous. People complicated and world leaders say " F*&$" just really creative. Binged it in a week and now in withdrawal. Nice review.

I've seen the expanse seasons a few times. It is the best sci-fi on TV in a long time....

The expanse: I'm that show.

Just binged the first 3 seasons in a week. I'm hooked. Havent been interested in any sci fi shows or movies this much since B5 in the 90's or star wars. My mother enjoys it as well.

me too - only 3 or 4 episodes before I stopped for about two years. And this season got the most wows from me since better call saul or early GoT. It has very likeable characters and kickass action and narrative

A modern show with good writing and interesting characters... that isn’t”woke “ and preachy ??? I’ve gotta check this out .

did you watch it?

5:30 "I am that guy."

I agree and I would add... inertia. The fact that gravity and changes of direction have serious effects on passengers makes space so much more real, difficult, dangerous and exciting.

I was actually on book 3 when they announced they were filming season 1. They did an excellent job with it but as usual if you like the show you'll love the books. So glad Amazon picked it up after SYFY dropped it.

All I need is season five...

My thoughts: I love the show. It is my favourite sci-fi.

The Expanse is the most profound sci-fi ever screened. Aside from the realism portrayed in space scenes, the actors all seem like real people, with real emotions and motives.

I was hooked from the 1 episode, this was the syfy show I've been looking for, for years! The Expanse only gets better with every new season ❤!
