    fingers crossed that it gets picked up by someone else. first two seasons are already on amazon so that seems like a natural fit, if they're not spending all of their money on this lord of the rings show.

    Amazon could happen. They're also making a TV show of The Culture and Ringworld, I think.

    Deeply disappointed at its cancellation. SyFy just doesn't learn from their previous mistakes. I hoping that Netflix picks it up now.

    I saw someone share a story about the cancellation on Facebook, with a "now we'll never know how it ends" comment. I hate non-readers.

    Looks like Netflix has passed on picking it up for further seasons :(

    MRW The Expanse is saved but I have to thank Jeff Bezos for it.

    How do we know he's not just doing this to gain access to the protomolecule?

    So because of the hubbub over this being cancelled and then picked up again, I decided to give it a go after having it on my Netflix list for ages. Really glad I did. Just finished episode 5 of season two and they killed my favourite character, the ********. That combined with the terrible stuff with the Martian marine grunts at the start of the second season is making me wonder if I should continue.

    She must come into her own later in the series because that stuff at the start is sub-CW level cringe. Regardless, I'm continuing on account of Avasarala, who's my new favourite. That and the hope of more space battles. The brief one in Doors & Corners was great.

    Oh I have. Finished season two last night. Sadly season three isn't airing on Netflix as it's being show on TV, so off to the torrents I go. Got what's aired of season three ready to go, should be done by tomorrow I reckon.

    Glad Draper's story picked up. I'm completely in love with Avasarala's character. Putting Draper with her was a good move to get me to care for her more. Honestly wasn't expecting monsters though. Should be interesting to see how that plays out.

    Season 3 hit the UK via Amazon Prime about a week ago. Went through all 13 episodes yesterday - truly epic.

    I can say that The Expanse is probably the best Sci-Fi series I have ever seen. Really love the diverse and strong characters, the intelligent storyline with good twists and the balanced mix between action oriented parts and political intrigues. My favorite characters are Miller and Holden. Felt also very bad when Miller was gone after episode 5 in season 2, but I think it was done in a great emotional way. I also can't imagine this was the last we saw of him. At least I hope he returns in some way. [face_praying]

    I started watching the first 2 seasons last year in fall before it was taken away from netflix. Now 3 seasons are available on amazon prime and I started a subscription there as well to watch it. Yesterday I finished rewatching the first 2 seasons and will start with season 3 today. :)

    Same here, I watched both netflix seasons in the space of about a week. I was lucky, two days after I finished them I noticed they had all disappeared and had to look on the internet to see why. I was planning to watch the 3rd season on blu-ray instead of getting AP, but the release date is some date in 2020!?

    wow, 2020 seems very late. :eek:

    The start on AP was a little chaotic, at least here in Germany. First only season 3 was on prime and the first 2 seasons for buying. Luckily this was just a mistake and they were later put on prime as well. I really wanted to rewatch these 2 seasons before starting with season 3.

    Hope you do! They're a lot of fun. Some people don't like Cibola Burn (book 4), but it's one of my favorites.

    I decided to reread Persepolis Rising to make sure I have the book version of things in my mind when Tiamat's Wrath comes out in a couple weeks.

    Finished season 3 last night. It's so nice to watch a show where the makers already know where the season is going and how it ends, as opposed to making it as they go along. Great season.

    do you think i should start the books from the beginning, or could i start from where the show left off without missing too much?
