Syfy Says This Season of The Expanse Will Be the Last One on the Network

Idiots.
- Damn.
Well, let's hope Netflix picks it up.Continuity - Firefly again?eryx
- Haha, I was thinking the same.Continuity
- Happens every fucking time a truly great sci-fi show comes along. And this one is vastly superior to that POS Discovery.Continuity
- it's hard to say where it can go really. storyline pretty much came to an end at the end of s2hans_glib
- You know it's based on a 8 book series right?i_monk
- Is Summer Glau in this show?CyBrainX
- Is this really worth comparing to Firefly? Honest question.monospaced
- There are thematic similarities and obviously they're both set in space largely about characters on the run, but that's about it.i_monk
- it's time to close that channel.
lol@Firefly i don't think so, Expanse is dark, slow and heavy, Firefly was optimistic and easy to and consume...sted - I don't think the comparison to Firefly was meant in the creative or executional sense, more so the fact it's a popular sci-fi series being cancelled.Continuity
- Oh. I see. I was hoping the comparison was about the obvious fact that firefly was fucking amazing and was canceled prematurely, killing one of the greatestmonospaced
- potential sci fi series in decades for no truly good reason. My question was really this: is the expanse really as good as firefly?monospaced
- Apples and oranges. Firefly was a light-hearted romp with self-contained 'problem of the week' episodes. The Expanse is a dark-ish serialised thing ...Continuity
- ... which is completely different from Firefly thematically. Both are excellent in their own contexts, and can't really be compared to the other.Continuity
- That said, both employ similar a conceit, with the evolution of language being a mish-mash of all sorts of things to form a sort of patois.Continuity
- This applies to Belters, though, not Terrans or Martians (Expanse), whereas in Firefly it's used throughout.Continuity
- Damn.

Ufffff. This week’s is pretty intense. Absolutely loving this season, so far.

Wow, today's episode was fucking tits mcgoats! I was on the edge of my seat...and Inaros' speech amazingly showed that the right words and charisma can rally the downtrodden even after committing an unspeakable atrocity.
So far, The Expanse's season's 5th episodes have been like GoT's second to last season episodes, so really looking forward to next week!
- That cg spider robot was ace.thumb_screws
- I just wish Cas Anvar hadn’t been such a fucking creep. He’s a good actor, and I’ve always liked Alex. It really makes watching his scenes uncomfortable.Continuity

Time to go! Here comes the juice!

This week's is fucking mega. Dominique Tipper is such a great actor.
