The Expanse

Thing is, some Inners and a good many Earthers have hard lives, but they still get Basic and they don't have to worry about The Powers That Be taking away their food and water or stopping their air (or the ever-present threat to them from simple accidents) in order to force compliance.

And no, it's not OK to kill people on Earth, as Belters aren't stupid - They recognise that many of the things they need to survive either come directly from, or originate on, Earth. They simply want a fair share of that at a fair price, in return for the work they do.
You seem to have forgotten the great many Belters that also suffered under the Free Navy, too.

I doubt they'll cover the later books, due to the age factor.

In interviews they said they may visit the later books in a few years time when the cast is old enough to represent themselves without cheap prosthetics
 
Doesn't seem that long since the last series finished (it might be, I've not checked). Is the Martian guy completely out of it now? Can't watch trailer as putting kids to bed.

Yeah, he’s out. Don’t want to spoil anything if people haven’t watched season 5.

Sorry I see, I meant due to his reputation. Wasn't sure how much of the new series was filmed before he was fired. (I've no idea how tv series work like that, wasn't sure if they started recording a series before the previous one has finished airing).

Without wanting to spoil it for others, I’ll hide it in a spoiler tag

Alex, the Martian, played by Cas Anvar, won’t be in season 6, due to off screen allegations his character was killed off at the end of season 5

I agree, it’s come round so fast but S5 was December 2020! This year has flown by.

I think its because I've just seen the trailer for lost in space which I'm sure was further away. They've done well to keep a series a year through covid, I know it's been more than a little disruptive (not wanting to derail the thread with the health side). I'm intruded what direction they take it as imo there's very little filler like what you get in other series.
 
6 episode run for the final season :(

Doing so will require a certain amount of compression, even with a longer 65-minute finale, and showrunner Naren Shankar admits to Polygon it’s a real challenge:

“Six episodes to do this much material is difficult. What it does give you is intensity. Every episode feels as intense as it could possibly be. You never feel like you’re letting your foot off the gas pedal. By the time you get to the end, it feels cathartic.”

Weird. Bezos saves the show, but then it does not last long anyways. Based on the amount of books I thought there would be a lot more to come. For me Season 3 was the best by far. 4 was crap and 5 was decent. Hopefully 6 is very good.

I understand the reason for not doing books 7-9 is the time jump, however this far in the future folks are living well into their hundreds. The time jump could be done quite easily with some subtle but effective makeup.

I didn't mind S4, it was the start of the 2nd trilogy so was always going to be a bit slower, it was one of my favourites of the books though so had pre-bias before the series aired.

Or you do what they have already in the script for TV and ignore it.....

Just a shame to shelve the final books, barely scratched the surface of the proto-molecule/builders story and later books hugely expand on it, this is just going to be an afterthought in the TV series.
 
They mentioned that in a few years they will finish the series with the same actors, and until then they might do some side stories instead
 
I started reading the books recently....as I can't stand the actors in the TV show.

Have to say, the series is pretty much a line by line faithful adaptation, which is good. The books themselves are pretty trashy fiction but entertaining enough. Think I'll stick to the books...
