Is it Friday yet?

It is indeed, "The first episode will release on Dec. 10 and the series finale will air on Friday, Jan. 14, 2022".
6 episodes is not enough. If I could tear myself away from gaming I'd invest in the books, but with kids and short attention span I struggle to pick up a book. Might make an exception though, especially if the series leaves me hanging for more.
This has really crept up on me, this thread is a testament to what a massive Expanse fan I am but the last 5/6 weeks seem to have vanished and it's finally upon us.
The books flow really well and can read through them in short time, I did them on my breaks at work in 30 minute segments.

Ohhhh nice I didn't know there was another season.
I'll wait till they are all out then take a free trail of Amazon prime.

1st episode is good. That's all I say for now.
Excellent first episode, very good at building tension and bringing us up to speed with the characters and setting after season 5. It also nice just to have the crew together after the last few seasons when they keep splitting them up.
Please don't go to **** like last year.

For me it was a rather disappointing start. After S5 I wasn't expecting much fidelity to the books, but this really didn't resemble anything that I read at all. Sees they're trying to bring in elements of Book 6, 7 and 8 (Laconia) but in the process writing a totally new tangent. Obviously a huge hole left by Cas Anwar's departure but having a

Can only hope it improves, but with only 6 x 48 min episodes, they are going to have to push hard.
conflicted Naomi doubling up as pilot doesn't really cut it. At the end of S5 it looked like they were going to write the character of Bull into that part.
tension between Naomi and Peaches, that certainly isn't present in the books. Past actions were forgiven and she is accepted as a member of the Roci family.

Going to wait and watch all in one go. Oh and will stay out of this thread 
Enjoyed the story, but what has happened to the budget?
The opening scene effects with the different species was pretty poor, but the part with Holden on the rock with the drive - it looked like an episode of Doctor Who filmed in a quary!
There was no weightlessness of space, just an actor moving around a set. Hopefully the money is being saved for some later episodes

I think it was pretty well spelled out it's not a problem with Clarissa so much as the way she sees her as Alex's replacement (and obviously that's not a thread that a book parallel), not that Naomi has any real room to talk since while he didn't mention specifics, Amos did a damn good job of pointing out the half of the plot that wasn't snowballed forward by Holden having never met a button he didn't want to push are caused by decisions Naomi made on everyones behalf.

Really enjoyed the 1st episode of the new season but Jesus Naomi just seems to lurch from one sodding whine to another
I wish marco had spaced her!!
edit: regarding the books, is it worth reading them even now having watched all the previous seasons. I’m loving the world it’s set in but if there’s no point reading the books now I’ll just have to find something else to read.

Holden and Naomi are both dreadful in the TV series, some of the most cringe-inducing 'acting' I've seen in years. Shame as some of the cast are decent. I've given up on it and am just reading through the books now.
Unfortunately it started a bit too early before the current trend for spending money on sci-fi got momentum, and they ended up with these Z-list leads. Some of the supporting cast are good though, I don't know how they messed up casting the leads so badly.

I dont mind Holden, Naomi is pure emo whinger though and I didnt feel that way about her in the books.
Personally I would smash out all the books before hand. Books > TV/movie adaptations every single time. Though with the Expanse I have not minded the TV version at all, its been decent on the whole.....not like other things that have sucked recently (WOT hang your head in shame).
