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.

Finally a release date!  I've been checking the TV show sites so often for any news on a date for so long.

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.

Sensible chaps, unlike those morons at Fox...

I've been waiting for this one as well, December can't come fast enough, though I also don't want it to come too fast. 😛

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.

I know the book lovers are probably hating on the show but I love it.   Can't wait for season 4.

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.

I don't know why.  It's a great series in both formats.

 

So it's finally up?  Right on.

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. ;)

I have spaced it out...in three parts. Going to watch the end tonight!

 

Actually love the fact they released the whole season on the same day.

I've seen up to episode 3 so far, had to go to sleep after that.  I'll see what I do.  I've got other things that can take up my time as well.

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.

I need to get back to this, only seen the first 4 eps.   I jumped on the witcher when that dropped and didn't go back yet.
