Kinda doesn't make sense that iTunes has it, if Amazon has ostensibly exclusive US rights.

Question is more what time limit there is on these contract. If either US and/or international exclusivity runs out at a closer point in time, I could see either party springing for it.


youtube has The Expanse too, but i have no idea how all this rights stuff works. But it seems like amazon doesn't have exclusive rights?

anyways gently caress these loving idiots for cancelling one of the best fuckin shows ever :argh:

im really mad and selling stuff to star trek discovery is like rubbing space salt in my spacewounds

:argh:

i guess we can only hope that Amazon or Netflix saves it at the last second or buys it even later than that and decides to rebuild the sets. Sounds like we're hosed :rip:

Yeah they wouldn't be planning to tear down sets if Amazon or Netflix were still thinking about it.

yeah i know, it sounds like our only hope is if some executive has a last second change of heart :negative:

Cas Anvar's pep talk started cool but he didn't really say anything new or hopeful, and then half way through the sound cut off. everyone kept repeating NO SOUND in the comments, but Cas never noticed, and then views plummeted and then he finished the video lol nice morale booster :rip:

e: i still have hope cmon jeff bezos fart out a few million spare bucks for a final season theres still time :shepface:

lol some youtube copyright troll company called "entura international" that i'm pretty sure has absolutely nothing to do with The Expanse, just got one of the most viewed (and one of my favorite :argh:) expanse videos on youtube taken down (the battle of Thoth station). It had been up for a year and had almost 300k views and had tons of recent comments with new fans saying they just found the show and that the battle was awesome and whatnot. Seemed like a good thing for getting random youtube nerds interested in the show

great timing assholes

Can we just talk about that giant gently caress-off squid ship thing that emerged from Venus instead of the renewal deal? Just for a minute?

drat that was crazy

I haven't read the books, this is all speculation based off of the show, but the last time i did this the post got spaced :rip: so i'll spoiler tag this: i'm thinking the ring might be a gate. It could be that the protomolecule was created by aliens for finding habitable systems (among other things) and then collecting the materials necessary to build some kind of hyperspace/wormhole gate so that the aliens themselves could travel there. But maybe something went wrong with the probe carrying this protomolecule sample, and it crashed and never activated...until it was discovered 2 billion years later by humans who fed it with lasers and people and radiation, and then it grew and fed itself everything, and completed its job of building the gate that now links our solar system to a gate in a habitable system a long way away, with a long dead (or maybe not?) civilization in it and a bunch of weird crazy hosed up and cool poo poo to explore and colonize and get killed by.

As for the guy getting turned into meat goop by the ring, here's what i think might have happened: the gate activated. oops lol. Maybe any ship passing through the ring activates it, or maybe there's some some invisible technobabble energy field inside the ring (im thinking the ring needs enough energy or a magic quantum space signal from home to activate the gate), and passing through that field at high speed can activate it (we see a ship pass through the ring at slow speeds earlier in the episode with no effect, though maybe that was a protomolecule drone thing, not a human ship). But unfortunately for racer dude, the act of passing through the activated gate into the warp dimension or whatever, is a slow process, so it slowed him down really fast. Not so fast that his ship was destroyed, but fast enough to rip his body apart.

or maybe you need some protomolecule with you in order to pass through the gate safely...and doesn't the Rocinante have some rogue protomolecule stowed away in the bulkheads? :vince:

or maybe its just a giant space goatse


:awesome:

goddamn, Entura International/NBC Universal has taken down almost every single expanse clip from youtube now, aside from a handful that are like, under 2 minutes long, and fan-made trailer things/reviews

funny how the show went three years with tons of videos on youtube, but then once it gets cancelled (and then saved), all of a sudden everything gets taken down

fuckin NBC dick heads
