This is true but doesn't answer the question (maybe :thejoke:?)

Stargate is also a show where every week they go through a circular portal to different planets, but for some reason 99.9% of those planets seem to look a lot like a forest or a quarry outside Vancouver. Pretty sure that's the bit people are worried about.

I hate to spoil it for you but the next 6 seasons of expanse are exactly this except key difference in that the woods and quarries are near Toronto

1300 episodes of material

reminder: it still took ~6 months for the research convoy to launch from earth/mars and end up at the ring. Assuming that most rings are positioned at similar distances from the central star, that's still 6*2 months to reach the green zone of the alien solar system.
Go read my posts 2 pages back. We already figured out it takes about as long as a month, at most, to get to the ring from Earth. The reason it took 6 months for everyone to congregate there at once was due to post-war diplomacy and coordination. They planned to make it there at the same time to study it all at once.

Personally I hope they find fuzzy little ewoks or tribbles or whatever on one of the new planets and we get a pet mascot for the crew added to the show.

Bonus points if it talks like Jar Jar Binks.

Woah... I want that now. Everyone becomes the Orks in 40k/BFG.

Watched the finale three times so far. Loved it every time. Thank you Goons for talking me into giving this show a chance. Favourite show since Farscape and B5. All hail future God-Emperor Bezos!

Side note: don’t watch Westworld finale after Expanse as it just makes the former look even more slapdash.

The protomolocule made me think of some Necron tech. They're actually inside the Warp but because its so early the Chaos Gods have no power! Or maybe the Expanse characters are the proto forms of the Chaos Gods? Drummer could totally ascend to be Khorne.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

That might be the only way they come. I could be wrong. I'm glad they kept the original covers instead of giving them crappy show tie in ones like they did on the box container itself.

Nah, there are smaller ones, but I think they're a limited run when the book is first released.

Don't forget your local library when trying to find Expanse books or books in general, I'm in a pretty small town (biggest city in the county kind of deal) and there's still around a dozen libraries in the area and I was able to pick up all but the latest books in the series there.

Yea, there doesn’t appear to be a mass market paperback type thing with these, as I just stopped at BaN yesterday to get the first one and they couldn’t find any other versions.

I wandered into a Barnes and Noble earlier this year to look for a different book and saw the Expanse books there. Though they were outrageously expensive and much cheaper on Amazon.

Stargate is cheesy camp sci fi about a team of people walking around in forests a lot and shooting aliens (that look like humans) with P90 submachine guns

It's extremely dissimilar in tone to The Expanse

Vlaada is my co-pilot.

At the beginning of the season they revealed there was still a glob of protomolecule somewhere in the roci after killing a the hybrid. Did that ever come back into play or was it just a weird reveal that episode?

I think it was just a way for the protomolecule to interact with Holden.
