Expanse Season 4

>nothing that matters plot-wise at least
I mean, they opened a bunch of gates that led them to other habitable worlds but sure, nothing happened.

Why do they not get rid of this acting black hole main character with the charisma of a slice of bread?

Because they'd get fucked if the aliens were still around or it would be fucking boring wandering around empty space looking for something but finding nothing.

You must have missed the normies celebrating after the night king died. Face it, thinking that you're a superior intellectual for wanting a show to be about "realism", "human condition" or "intrigue" IS a normie trait. Every fucking normie is saying they want shows to have these things now.

The teaser is so good

I tried watching this show when season 1 came out

but it seemed like I was always missing something

like the show requires you to read the books or some other resources to get the story/lore

so is this series worth it and shoud I give it another try fellow redditors?

No. It's game of thrones for autistic retards.

>like the show requires you to read the books or some other resources to get the story/lore
It's pretty self explanatory. You learn things as you watch. The reason why it feels like that is because you are plunged into the middle of the story, without the backstory and skipping the beginning. It's like watching fellowship of the ring but skipping the prologue, except that the prologue is inserted somewhere else as flashbacks. The plot itself does get better as the show goes on. Season 1 is a set-up season.

yeah but the protomolecule centric stuff is the dumbest parts of the books. Also just because it was in the books didn't mean they have to rush the actual conflict during season 3. It's all about execution.

It sets up concepts like "you can spin for artificial gravity in space" because it's expecting and appealing to complete idiots.

You dont believe in gravity?

>posting spoilers instead of the trailer
Based but bluepilled

>The uploader has not made this video available in your country

No the protomolecule stuff is the literal spine of the plot. Nothing happens without it.

As much as I love cats, they should make recaps as 30-45 min. "documentaries" from the perspective of Earth, Mars, and the Belt. Same thing with those "behind the science" videos.

This is the fookin legend of Illus, you're thinking of that fookin legend from gin alley

A science fiction show for science fiction fans wouldn't need to explain the bare fucking basics.

This. When I started watching I fully expected the proto-molecule to be a singularity project gone bad (as should be), not an alien goo.

>lol cats

Yep, this is the target audience alright.

Too bad, I like both the expanse and capeshit

You know he acted that character well when he was only in 4 episodes.

The teaser was the second post I replied to. OP fucked up because a trailer is the absolute most you should see from a movie or series. You think you want the to see it, but it would be way more gratifying to watch it for the first time as the series progresses naturally.
>inb4 don't watch it then
The issue is that the average viewer does. I watched all three seasons this year and then went back to check trailers, features, etc. and was a little bothered by how much it spoils.
I agree.
>c-cats are r-reddit!
You fucking newfaggot invader, caturday was a thing here before digg and plebbit were created, and way before you survived your whore mother's fifth abortion attempt Get the fuck out and never return. Also, dilate.

All the supposed main protags are sickeningly altruistic leftist shits who don’t understand how awesome the greater Reich is

I need to catch up on 2 seasons, i think i'll just wait for it to end completely.

>LEFT BAD
lmaooooo

Season 4 is in December, you got plenty of time

>I don’t have the patience to watch the plot unfold and discover the origin of the space mystery
Fucking autism

It's a ship fucking landing on a planet what is there to spoil?

Yes because they make left look bad

Rude. Regardless, my point is that even right until the goosteroid leaves Venus, the goo being a man-made thing would have made more sense than it being alien. I think the Expanse is fantastic, but I would have preferred if it tried to stay grounded, and confined within the solar system. I know it's an adaptation, so this is all just hypothetical wishful thinking.

Wow that’s exactly what I said user
U so smart

The righteous crusader shit isnt some leftist sthtick its an old trope, how diluted are you by pol?

The idea is that it’s alien tech meant for a certain purpose until humans try to engineer shit out of it so you’re halfway there

That’s not what I said, but it’s what you read into it
How butt blasted by /pol/ are you?

You should read a post twice or more before replying to it. You clearly misunderstood my point and now you look like a moron.
5 minutes of a ship landing on a planet? Also, I don't know because I didn't watch the clip, but what I did watch from previous seasons spoiled quite a bit. I can all but guarantee that the clip contains things, even if just tidbits, that need extra context to understand.

the alien goo is best explained as a all purpose organic building machine with a AI with restrictions on it.(see the investigator as example)
Tell it to build gates and it will build gates, with whatever materials it can find and report back it build its gate.
tell it to build ships for martian traitors and it will do just that.
And my guess is that the gatebuilders werent good guys anyway, the protomolecule in the solarsystem was headed for earth originaly, so the gatebuilders obviously didnt give a flying fuck about whatever lifeforms were on the planet they designated as a resource for the gate.
Thats how they probably pissed of the alliens who exterminated the gatebuilders too.

That scene is one of my favorites if just because of what it depicts.

A Martian, probably lower-class Martian, a military one on top of that, being given free reign to go for something containing what has to be the ultimate luxury anywhere but Earth: Cucumber. A horrifyingly inefficient crop, when it comes to water requirements, and it's unprocessed on top of that. And here she is, being given free reign.

what do you think her braps would smell like after eating all that?

i don't watch trailer for things I've already decided to watch

I wondered what was all about. Thought it was a "blooper" they left in, but with that insight it makes a lot of sense. Should I read the books? I have the policy of not doing so until a series has ended, so I won't get unrealistic expectations or be disappointed by changes. How faithful has it been so far?
Good idea.

The show has been quite faithful. About 90%, I'd say. They did bring characters forward, relatively speaking, to introduce them earlier, but they did so relatively faithfully. All in all I can definitely say it's pretty accurate. Any changes made are made with the consent of the writers.

Holy shit, you can really tell how much the production has improved

>at least most of it
There you go. Read it again, this time don't skip any posts, dumbass.

I was about to check out this show until I read this on its wikipedia page:

>Writing for io9, Katherine Trendacosta noted how the show had become "shockingly prescient", insofar as many of the issues and ideas explored by The Expanse mirrored contemporary trends in global politics.[42] Brian Tallerico, in "Why The Expanse Is the Best Sci-FI TV Show You're Not Watching" for Rolling Stone, praised the show for its contemporary political relevance and called its willingness to mix tones, and its protagonists, laudable. He summarized that at its core, The Expanse was all about people responding to fear – fear of the other, fear of the new, fear of inequality, fear of death.

So the show is basically globohomo propaganda?

Its not for fragile right wingers and racists

>don't expose my fragile mind to new ideas

I avoided The Expanse for a long time because I thought that was the case, but despite what it may seem from pictures of clips, it's not an in-your-face liberal propaganda tool. There is some "diversity" but in no different than it would be in a cyberpunk future where the globalist elite succeeded and places are a disgusting hodge-podge of races. i.e. If we get that far in history without going back to the Stone Age, then it's quite likely that's how things would look even at most optimistic.
I'm a conservative and I enjoyed it fine. Therefore, dilate. Also, everyone is racist.

I just want to know what the show is like
I doubt I would find any new ideas in this show.

Not uncommon to see liberal types wanking off to its themes. The difference here is that it's done in a presentable way, while also making sense regarding its setting rather than something like shitflix or CW would do. The people who made this actually give a shit about the books. Also, the author(s) are involved in the show.

>And how in the fuck does that bitch with a voice deeper than 99% of men get acting gigs?
shohreh-chan is cute and maybe if you smoked 8 packs of malboro a day like a real man instead of drinking 8 gallons of söy you'd have a nice manly voice too.

then lurk more

I don't have a problem with a diverse cast, I expect that. I want to know whether there is more overt political signalling than that.

No, this is just hack journalists trying to project their politics onto every piece of media, because they can’t enjoy something unless it confirms their worldview

any bookfags here, hows the latest one?

everything is political and there is a bias in everything, you're gonna find some if you look for it, adjust your mindset.

Why the fuck is everyone releasing everything in December now? I have nothing to watch now and suddenly in December SPAM OF SCI-FI.

reddit has a spoiler thread about it if you wish to look, its pretty good and sad, and really fucked up

I was talking more about fear of the other/unkown than of the ideas in the show

i agree its a shit date but im guessing its a good spot for them somehow, they calculate these decisions

Sweet. Is Eros song a part of it?

I thought the first third was super retarded but the rest is pretty nice
their grand master plan is to set a bomb off in one of the rings? really? my eyes almost rolled right out of my head

As the middle part of a 3 book arc I thought it was pretty good
This final arc of the story in general though I feel is a bit sloppy
The authors clearly knew where they wanted to go but needed a large time skip to accomplish it logically
As a fan it’s a bit frustrating to think this crew has been just fucking around in space for 30 years and almost nothing about them has changed except they’re older
Even them being older has relatively little effect on the way they’re written
As an example, Bobby is a woman, pushing 60 who is still cracking skulls like she’s stronger and tougher than anyone else
There’s some other shit I’m not thrilled about but despite being here for years I never bothered to learn to spoiler txt so I won’t ruin it

no but you have this
youtube.com/watch?v=hSNO0mB01aw

I would say the show depicts the characters without sugarcoating. The main lead starts off as some idealistic truther, and ends up in difficult situations where he has to make sacrifices for the better. There's a bunch of class warfare of sorts in the Belters plot. They live in asteroids and space stations all their lives and they don't like Earthers or Martians. A bunch of them got holocaust'ed by Earth back in the day, so there are terrorist sympathies within the Belt as a result of that. Martians are pretty much independant of Earth, so they are born and raised to make their planet better for the next generation, and they are very militaristic. You have Martians who want to start war so they can "duke it out" with Earth, and you have Martians who tell them that it's not a wise choice. Also, the Earth plot has a character who has to do nasty politics in order to get to the truth. You have Earthers who want to start a war with Mars, and you have Earthers who want to stop it from happening. So it's all not black and white. Of course, leave it to a journalist to twist it to their worldview and simplify everything for their readers, but the show is handled way better than most of its types out there.

Jesus fuck, fucking at last!

You mean the music that plays when Eros hits Venus? Yea it's in there.

And Mars throws a hissy fit because people are leaving their cuntdry rock

No, there's no overt political message at all, specially outside of specific and logical context.
Correct.
Technically you age slower in space. Hypothetically, they have longer lifespans there, specially considering how good the med equipment is.

People live past 120 in the show, and with medicine its not hard to assume a lifetime soldier to be capable of sustaining fit form up in the years, 60 is probably early 40s for them.

good for syfy to be completely honest, if it had betters actors then it would actually be good

it has plenty of good actors, holden and naomi are just kind of bringing everything down because they're supposed to be the main characters but they're both weak actors

They should have just left them in their space rocks and moved through the ring gates on their own desu. Imagine illiterate 3rd worlders deciding the future of the human race.

To be fair, they are both boring characters in the books too, especially Holden with his dumb attitude and take on life, only Alex and Amos seem to have an authentic personality with a flair to it.

The whole of the rosi crew are shit to be honest, the rest isn't bad

Season 1 Martians looked so badass, wtf happened? It's like they all got fat and brown afterwards kek.

its pretty good, the last 2 books were a bit eh, but i really liked the latest one. the gamma ray burst sequence is one of the best things in the entire series

>wandering around empty space looking for something but finding nothing.

This could be so good.

this show any good?

Honestly they grew on me. In the first 2 seasons I absolutely detested them, especially Naomi and Holden, but in 3 I've started to like them.

amos is one of the best characters and actors in the show. alex grew on me, i thought he was a pretty stupid character at first but his hokey manner won me over, the guy is a pretty good actor too

they redesigned everything since they at first fucked up with the helmets, they wanted to see the actors faces more.

pick only one. granted it's probably the best current sci fi on tv, but that isn't saying much.
it's mediocre at best. very similar to early bsg in terms of quality and the barren small-screen sci landscape it exists in, which boosts it by comparison. expanse is saltwater to an audience dying of thirst

>Thought it was a "blooper" they left in
what are you, retarded? It's obvious that the character sees something highly desirable and goes for it.

the only trek i like is ds9, and it had a few trashy seasons

i remember reading they have "cheap" meds who prolong life in the expanse universe.

yes they live much longer. avasarala is like 120 in the 6th book
