I just got an ereader and I haven't started the series yet (kinda left some trilogies hanging when I stopped reading much back in the day) but this show is fantastic.  Not sure what my schedule is anymore but definitely grabbing the books at some point.

I don't know much about the books either but from the little I do, I'd say the books and tv show have a good number of changes between them.   Probably due to episode count limits and not being able to show everything as always, but I think they've also changed a good chunk of story to.   Still, I'm ok with story changes if it helps a tv show flow better, I just view it as an alternate retelling of the original novel/book etc.

I recently started on the books, and so far, I think the show changes make the story much better than how it's portrayed in the books.

Before Season 4 even airs...it has already been renewed for a 5th season.

Guess they got a good idea of the size of the fan base by the season 4 reactions and the SDCC news that they jumped on it right away.

Looking forward to this...

 

 

 

This quote from the show runner has me more excited...

Quote

"We’re no longer bound by the archaic content, language, and runtime restrictions you’re constantly forced to deal with on broadcast and basic cable... The shows on Amazon Prime speak for themselves: this is a platform that values complex, layered storytelling, and we’re thrilled to be on it — it’s the perfect home for The Expanse."

Here's a recap of seasons 1 - 3...

 

 

Probably going to have to watch that at some point even though Kevin Smith annoys me for some reason.

Just got around to watching the first ep of season 4, very good start IMO.  Avasarala has the best f'ing lines in the ep.  She's tired of everyones bs and isn't taking any.  I love her character.

Fantastic season 4 BUT, I wish Amazon hadn't dropped it all in one go.. I couldn't resist temptation and now I've got no Expanse to look forward to... :(

 

I've only seen the first ep at this time, but I'm guessing there's going to be a season 5 to look forward to?

Oh sure, I guess so too... but that's like, a year away!

 

Trust me folks, don't binge watch this show, it deserves to be spaced out. ;)

it was pretty much the best thing I'd ever seen on Syfy.  No doubt.

I'm sure if Syfy had the extra money needed they might have kept it but who knows?  Anyway, I'm taking it a little slow and have only seen up to episode 4 so far.

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
