I know I am greedy, but more The Expanse please... Love your work Thank you

@@kjellvb1979 Am I greedy as well? I would love full on book spoiler videos from Alt Shift X. Neeeeeed. Moreeeeeeee

a tip : you can watch series at Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

@Brady Talon Yup, have been watching on KaldroStream for months myself :D

especially naomi . they look so much alike

I was gonna say especially marcos haha

I think the production put the photos of the actors in an app - and used to cast this actor - cause it's really is the "son" of both of them haha

i know right?????? haha im glad i wasnt the only one who saw this

Same with young amos

Good catch, ya, prob right

Makes sense, its sucks that actor was such a piece of shit and had to ruin his career being stupid thinking he was untouchable.

@@Diceyst What did he do?

@@haualoPG was sexually assaulting fans among other things. Studio confirmed multiple reports after S5 finished filming. So thats why he just suddenly stroked out like Fred was supposed to. Edit:spelling. Skool is kool.

@@Diceyst Oh well damn, his character had great chemistry with everyone else, gonna be wired when they just ignore him. Why did they kill Fred ? Did Chad also do something like that?

Amos is amazing! When he stripped down in front of that Psycho Prepper he had no fucks left to give.

This comment and the above reply both made me burst out laughing. 😆

@@Wallyworld30 Wes wanted to go Full Monty but the director talked him out of it.

hahaha good one

I really don't know anything about the books but didn't the black guy that she met say that he was on the list to become a doctor. how is he undocumented? Or was this something that the show added and is confusing me

@@NanashiSC2 He's the exception. He didn't get into the work programs so he's trying to help out where he can. People on Basic are like Lydia and her husband (though they had some extra help from Erich to provide their home).

Bobbie's perspective on how people on Earth are also changes when she goes out of the UN complex in The Hague at some point at she goes and get herself a cup of coffee. Here she meets a young barrista who explains she is working hard at that job to score some sort of points that will later allow her into an educational program! That too changes her view on Earther as lazy bums who hold up theirs hands (basic takers) which mostly turn out to be people who WANT to work and mean/do something, but can't because there aren't enough jobs and positions free to do so.

@@dennisstolwijk7906 It just seems like a lack of imagination in writing to think these problems we have today will still exist in the same form in 400 years - when there are resources coming in from the asteroid belt and lots of energy and space travel,

@@justgivemethetruth It's not a lack of imagination. If you look at the reasons they rationalize how the world's socioeconomic issues/hierarchies are written in the Expanse, it's the most creative thing ever. Adding in fake fantasy elements to it doesn't make it more creative and saying they just magically solved world hunger/war/poverty and created some Federation where humans are close to as perfect as can be is even less imaginative IMO and Star Trek has a lot of creativity in it. These same problems that exist today and hundreds of years into the future exist for different reasons and it shows that it's likely a permanent issue with humanity as a whole and potentially other intelligent species who use war and violence to settle differences and to gain advantage on their opponents. The Expanse is largely more about paradigm shifts than it is about alien threat or space battles.

Same here. Expanse is just as good as Game of Thrones but in Space! The Expanse didn’t implode like GOT though so it might even be better. We really won’t know until after season six though.

@@Wallyworld30 It really helps that Ty and Daniel are adapting their own story for the show. GOT was great while the show's writers had GRRM's books to work from, it went off the rails when they ran out of source material and had to wing it. I've read in interviews where Ty and Daniel have enjoyed the opportunity doing the adaptation as it allows them a chance to reimagine characters and plotlines in a way that works in a visual medium.

Personally I really like that the story goes in this direction. Cibola Burn/season 4 gives a taste of what must be happening with the colonisation of the new worlds; but so many sci-fi stories have covered that ground of exploring alien worlds in the past. I think it's far more interesting to explore how the opening of the ring gates alters the already tense political situation of the Sol system and the lives of the characters who live there. Plus for the first three books/seasons that politics and intrigue was the bread and butter of the story and Cibola Burn establishes that the peace between the factions is shaky at best; it makes no sense to throw that to the wayside not properly resolved in favour of exploring the alien worlds. The books do eventually get to deal far more with the worlds beyond the ring gates though; I really hope the show gets to adapt that part of the story. I understand why some people who might have expected the story to do something different may be thrown off by this choice though; it's certainly proved a contentious season and I think part of that is down to some people expecting more stuff to do with the aliens and the rings. Although I will admit it also has some pacing issues, I think that some of the people who feel disappointed may enjoy it more if they re-watch now knowing what to expect

@@robertwinslade3104 Well they didn't talk about it affected things. In the books the new worlds is why the Free Navy rises up, not the same old belter vs inners crap. In the show it's like they had all this cool ring stuff and then back to belters vs inners crap. There's a nice taste and now back to the same stuff in season 1

@@jatzi1526 Season 5 for the most part very closely followed the book in regard to the extent to which the rings played a part in the plot; a few deviations arguably increasing their presence in the story. Seasons 4 and 5 both also made a point of establishing multiple times that Marco's plan is so popular among belters precisely because so many of them fear that the rings will make them and their culture obsolete, and that a key part of the plan is for Marco to seize control of the ring space

@@robertwinslade3104 Eh I didnt see that. Seemed Marco was just saying the same stuff

@@robertwinslade3104 I don't recall hearing much of that in the show as well. Plenty of historical grievances, very little of fears of economic ruin. We do hear hints about people leaving Earth and Mars (especially Mars) in droves in the show, but Marco's speeches keep hammering on about the past, not future.

I don't understand... Can you please explain?

@@saviorebello7342 cause Ben afflek kind of withdrew from public view and the Batman role; it’s for the juxtaposition between Ben afflek and Holden at the beginning of the book

While I share the hope the story will continue, movies are too short to tell that storyline. If they did movie / tv show hybrid, that may work. What I mean by that is tv show for the smaller moments a character story arcs, while movies fir the big battles or action scenes. Amazon keeps trying to make and have movies that are accepted by awards places, so that may be an avenue to get there.

wait season 6 wont cover laconia arc ?

@@aymendaadaa8685 They must be, surely?!

@@aymendaadaa8685 they can't. Laconia covers three books. If they tried that they'd Game of Thrones the series.

You have never noticed how the ring gate for Laconia was specifically labeled as such in the opening credits the whole season already? :P Anyway, season 6 really shouldn't be about Laconia at all really. It has to deal with wrapping up the conflict between Earth/Mars and the Free Navy! Laconia mentioned in the finale of season 5 that they mined their end of the ring! In the books they also state that anybody passing through would be met with violence. Spoiler: It isn't until like 14-15 years after the end of the war with Inaros that they suddenly emerge again and shit hits the fan.

are they together together in the books?

@@Kennia1998 no but they flirt sometimes

@@herbertschulz4313 update: I'm currently reading Book 7 so now I know 😂

Agree : (((((

I haven't read the books, but I _am_ spoiled about Fred's fate in the books, and imo it's kinda better (what happened in the show)

Badass toughness won't stop a bullet though

MIchio Pa was always the more prominent character in books than drummer. Theyve combined both for the show and named her Drummer instead of Pa. But her story line is remarkably different from the books.

Not anymore, they the show going intersectional

@@daxlucero2437 do you even know what intersectionality is? Because I don't see how it applies to The Expanse

Some of? 😁

@blorghised Go watch Star Wars or Jar Jar Abrams Star Trek. Those shows have 1 dimensional characters and lots of explosions so you should love them.

HAHAHA thank you for the lol

Oof brutal

*YOUR MEME HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN ITS TOO DANK*

So was anything actually proven? Or just more "lets get them".

Not alex just the person they chose to represent him, unfortunately turned out be a degenerate creep

I'm pretty sure they had Early Access cuz it came out immediately after the episode aired

No

@@Fartucus Why not? He has done an explanation of the first book in the series, I bet many people would be interested in the rest of the books. Especially since the last book is coming out this year.

@@Zorzek nope.

The plot twist is so mind-bending. You don't want it.

@@KR4FTW3RK Maybe the books that have already been adapted for the show?

I bought them all on audible. The narrator is really, really great :)

@@Equoez thanks I'm definitely going to get them now

@@Equoez Yup, they are top notch!

I couldn't understand the show without the books. Little things suddenly make much more sense.

Me too. Best SiFi in my opinion.

Unfortunately, that’s the pace the book goes as well. Season 5 is a great adaptation of book 5, but the problem is books 5 and 6 are the slowest and most boring of the series ☹️.

@@jaymichael4770 Book 5 in particular, but it is also the most horrific so far in terms of the events of the universe. I always felt like the book wanted me to bask in the powerful terrible power of what has just transpired, billions of people are dead...deal with that whole of human civilization.

@@BeCurieUs it’s horrific, but we don’t spend much time on earth apart from Amos/Clarissa/Anna. I found myself wanting to go back to Ilus or other planets like it to explore more about the ring builder killers. The belters turning into Jacobins with spaceships just felt pedestrian after the threat revealed in books 3 and 4. That’s not to say you don’t write the contents of books 5-6 (personally, I wish JSA Corey had condensed it into one longer book with about 20-25% less filler. You can address Inaros and set up Laconia for book 7 without so much fat.) It seems the correct sequence of events is off though because once you introduce the builder killers, you lower the stakes by going back to belt/planet grievances. I get that book 8 really ratchets things up with the PM killers (and I’d like book 7 more if 5-6 were condensed), but the show is suffering because the source material takes too long to get there. And I’m NEVER the guy that says source material needs to be written to cater to a potential or existing adaptation, but after the events of Cibola Burn, 5-7 is an utter slog in getting to the events of Tiamat’s Wrath.

@@jaymichael4770 For me, I guess that book felt the most human. Earlier ones were too, but there was less crazy alien shit going on and more crazy human shit. In that, it just felt more violating but I can understand why people thought the pace of it wasn't as fulfilling. Hell, I think this season of the show didn't REALLY hit home how much earth is fucked. The TV keeps talking about millions dead. Put B on there folks and make us really feel it! Maybe that is the odd part about this season. It feels like more has happened then the show really let us feel about it? Maybe that is what I liked about the books, I could live more in those moments, I felt very connected to everything going on, I def didn't feel as connected to this season. Like I didn't care about Drummers new Family at all, the choices there, I just didn't care. The book, maybe I felt that way a bit, too, but it hit a little more since we spend more time with them. I do miss the Anna character, too, she grew on me in both the show and the books.

Agreed, I think they could have demonstrated Naomi's absolute determination with showing a few less of the essentially identical trips into the middle of the ship...

*Itchy and Scratchy theme plays in the background*

I thought they were only supposed to put ONE Simpsons reference in each series! 😂

I hope he kept his hands to himself on his way back to his home planet 🙏

@@darkbozo11 He did, apart from the odd stroke.

@@YIIMM Ey thats just part of the occupational hazards off flying a spaceship .

I think what happened is that the authors got more interested in them and eventually made then pov characters. Then when the show began the rewrote the earlier part of the story to make The Roci crew more of an ensemble.

They are pretty major characters. They just do not have pov chapters. The chapter where Naomi tells when she first fell in love with Holden made him my favorite character.

Also the planet was called Laconia

Yeh, in the show they say something like "about 1.2 or 2 millions dead, much more expected". So it really confused me when this video and people in the comments talk about bilions of dead; and the wiki goes as far as to say that the planet is devastated, with most of humanity on earth killed. The pictures they show also look more like the equivalent of a large nuclear strike, similar to the martian nuke, rather than a world ending event. Really makes me wonder what they're going to do with that. The show paints a very different picture.

The books are way better

@@sirboast9531 I’m reading the first one now. So far Shed has no personality in the books. In the shoe, with only 4 episode appearances he had way more personality. I also heard Ashford is far better in the show too

@@IanM92 some personality's are better in the books some in the show. But overall the books are better especialy the later books. It's kind of game of thrones where the first season they really sticked by the books but later on they make their own story's merch story's and shorten them.

Just to add I am sub’d and have been since GOT days

I interpreted that mention very differently. I read that as there was no way to contact those systems. As in communications were down, or something like New Terra occured where things went totally sideways. Either their colonies fell apart organically, or some protomolecule/ancient tech was too blame.

It´s also a shame his actor sexually harassed women.

Yeah, man needed to go. We mourn the character but not the actor.

@@SpaceMonke99 Indeed, Alex was awesome. Probably the most sympathetic character. :(

@@victormeunier9075 is it certain yet? All I know there were accusations which does not make someone guilty of it.

@@blacktea65s No there was a month Long Investigation by a Third Party, that concluded that The accusation we're valid

I love her in the show and worship her in the books :D

Ohhh interesting idea, they do have her pilot the shuttle out.

I doubt it. The fact that Bull is literally holding Alex' cup suggest he's the new pilot.

@@thakillman7 Ya, that prob the real direction it will go

Clarissa's adrenal implants tend to make her unreliable during extended periods of strenuous physical activity; they cover this later in the book series. She would be a pretty badass pilot if she hadn't messed that up though

I thought she was an engineer not a pilot?

We explain that stuff in this video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8uHbKtnqdS2l3U.html

@@altshiftx7495 I sorta guessed in the show that the Martians who made a deal with Marco suddenly got killed by weird aliens or a weird weapon but why exactly, I don't know. I didn't catch in your video what that weird alien ship was shown in the end credits and by that Martian scientist that seemed to be on a ring world planet with that same weird ship in the sky, the one who was communicating with the Maritians that did a deal with Marco. It was really late at night and maybe I wasn't the sharpest tool in the box as I was tired. Is that alien ship, a ship that was carrying the protomolecule and had somehow been altered by it ?

@@davedogge2280 a faction within Mars has gone rogue and made a deal with Marco to start a war in sole system with the inners (Mars and earth) and get the last active protomolecule in exchange of ships and weapons. all that is to occupy Mars and earth in war while this Martian faction goes to a System (Laconia) and start a new Empire. in this new System there is an alien ship and artifacts belong to the Builders of the ring gates but they were deactivated. that's why they needed the protomolecule to reactivate everything just like in new Terra in season 4.

@@davedogge2280 about the what happend to the ship of Sauveterre. no one knows (yet). there were many mentions of ships "going dutchman". many of these ships were smuggled to Laconia but there were also ships that ready disappeared. in season 4 Okoye entered what is called the void bullet (big black ball) and she saw some weird stuff there. what happend with the disappeared ships is similar. from holden we know that the Ring builders where killed by other beings using this thing (the void bullet). now these "beings" are responsible for the disappearing of the ships.

@@ammararran4916 I think it seems a long time since i've seen 'weird' in The Expanse with Miller and the effects of the protomolecule and so I've forgotten that real weird can happen.
