Netflix pulling The Expanse with no fanfare sounds hopeful that Amazon is getting international streaming. I was ready for the show to be dead but that alone gives me hope. Great now I'm going to be sad if this falls apart.

If you already own it from a service, they will keep offering it for download even if it's pulled. They just can't sell to anyone new. I own several things on Steam that are no longer on steam and have no issues downloading them, same with Audible. I don't think I have any on other services that have been pulled.

Okay, worst case scenario: Netflix pull isn't because Amazon is acquiring the rights, the Netflix pull is to convince Alcon not to do chance Amazon renewing and take whatever they can get from Netflix and SyFy.

Amazon throws around so much money. Their shows like Bosch and Goliath look like normal network shows but the budget is like $80 million. They can do The Expanse right.

They dumped a shitload of money on the Top Gear guys to do a world touring show and they completely wasted it.

Amazon has money to burn.

What if we cannibalise the parts from one poster, use them to reinforce another poster, and then fire them into Amazon HQ?

What does this even mean? How would pulling something from their own service convince Alcon to do anything? Netflix and Syfy both don't want to fund the show.

How did they waste it? TGT is pretty good. It's had a few clunkers, but the trio are still fun to watch. If you're referring to them no longer traveling the world to shoot the studio segments, that was their own idea, not Amazon's. In any case, they are too old to travel the world to film segments as well as studio bits. The traveling tent idea didn't really even make much sense anyway. They'd travel to Germany or wherever, and then show films of them driving cars in Australia. It was too much.

They're beating off and slinging cum ropes to drip from the ceiling tiles because they know they are a bundled cable channel and money is going to come in because they're in a package that virtually everyone gets. If they ever get unbundled and become a stand-alone elective, their poo poo is loving toast. Right now they can maintain the status quo from the 90's and cancel whatever and commission whatever because they enjoy a level of protection from being customer censured.

I don't want to give the wrong impression, I really didn't think it through. I'm just trying to parse how "Netflix Pulls Expanse" as news that show isn't being renewed, because on face value that seems like really promising news. ...as we try to divine the innards of our corporate overlords.

I mean they wasted it because they didn't do anything with the traveling format. Like you said, it was a few crappy local jokes and then footage from halfway across the world. So however much money Amazon spent shipping that tent around the world was wasted.

I think the show's actually a lot better in the second season since they dropped all that nonsense and toned down the forced comedy.

They had to use the tent format because filming in a studio would infringe on Top Gear.

Should have just set the tent up in Clarkson's back yard like they did for season 2. I know there was a ton of rights fuckery involved though so maybe it really was necessary. I was just disappointed with the first season because I was hoping it would have more local flavor.

Also now I'm picturing Clarkson juiced to his gills in the Razorback and hollering about POWER!
