"Please Don't End" Damn....I felt that one in the gut! Best thing I ever watched on a screen and I doubt anything else will ever match it besides its final trilogy. Hopefully in the future we can all enjoy that final trilogy of this wonderful story!
I did enjoy it greatly. What I hold onto is that they wouldn't include the Strange Dogs novella info unless there was some plan to complete the book series at some point.
yep, seeing the crew in their 50s/60s wouldnt really be that cool lmao. I REALLY hope someone picks up the show to continue with a massive budget@@ricksexton8155
Bittersweet coming to the end, not just for the show but because I don't know when you guys will watch a show I'm interested in again. I don't comment much but wanted to just let you both know I appreciate you. :)
I think it’s shit really. This series should not be finished yet, series 6 should have been a 12 parter with only half of the story we have seen. This was such a good series. Why was it not advertised more and pushed. Oh well, we got what we got at least.
Dominique's scream when she sent the Pella down was an ad-lib, it shows how invested the core cast was in the story. I don't know if they wrote a short story about the fate of Filip, but that would make a good one shot. I was given five years to live 21 years ago, and I am still beating the odds, maybe Peaches will too. I have enjoyed taking this ride with you guys, I hope we can find something to enjoy together in the future. Held og Lykke!
No short story, we still have no idea what happened with Filip next. There is one more novella due - "Sins of the Fathers", which is suggestive :) Maybe it will cover Terresa as well.
All I am going to say is that Peaches is alive 30 years later as well in Book 7. She more or less needs to visit the medbay on the Roci constantly to flush the toxic stuff the mods are leaking into her body. But she is still kicking.
@@uros.u.novakovic I actually think the "5 years to live" prognosis allows them to bring the show back with a shorter time jump.. meaning they can keep it going with all the same actors. The fact they put made that change from the books give me hope that that was the reason why.
It's so touching and cute that Kat cried not for the other scenes, but the final shot. I know, Kat. I know.... But given how popular this show is, was, and will be, I'm positive we will get movies and spin-off series in the future. The future is bright. Oye deng, inyalowda!
I'd be interested to know exactly how streaming services like Netflix and Prime evaluate a series that they stream commercial-free. The litmus test for a popular network series has always how high the network could raise the price of commercial time. If you had advertisers pay a large premium for commercial time, you had a show which was sure to have a long run. Thinking about it a little bit, those commercial prices were probably powered by Nielsen ratings. Is Nielsen still compiling stats on each of the 10,000 shows airing weekly on the hundreds of streaming services and the remaining traditional networks? If so, no matter how excellent The Expanse was, you have to assume viewers will find it, first, and then become fans of the show. Even then, with so many viewing options available nowadays, what is the best a producer can expect in viewership when it is split among 10,000 shows?
Instead of wasting money on the Lord of the Rings series that everyone hates, amazon should have spent money on more Expanse. Even if it was expensive.
Concerning Marco's death: It was incredibly satisfying because of how hung up he was on himself being the face of the Free Navy. He said it wasn't about him, but everyone who paid attention around him knew he saw himself as the center of it all. Last season, he even said Filip was insignificant but that he would take over the Free Navy - the throne - when Marco was no more, because he saw Filip as an extension of himself. Marco wanted to immortalize himself. But in the end, he had no spectacular death, no martyrdom, he didn't even go down fighting. His final words were words of retreat, he died shamed and empty - just like Drummer said he would. And NOTHING was left of him. He was obliterated, disintegrated, along with his ship. And his son? His extension of himself? Put the nail in the coffin by changing his name, erasing the Inaros legacy once and for all. I think when we see Filip change his name to Nagata was when Marco REALLY died.
Still and all, I would kind of liked to see Marco die as he had lived, in so much as his final statement should not have been "Veer Off" but rather, "I expected this, of course. It's all part of my master plan to rule the so--"
That part at the end with the roci flying off into the stars and the music and the knowledge that they were the last frames we’ll see of the roci, made me more emotional than I was prepared for.
they'd used the power armor a number of times but the fly in backpack missile attack thing never even got brought up between s2e1 and the last episode, i'm glad they did that
I am lucky to have watched the Expanse since the first episode aired on SyFy in 2015. It felt like a secret the first season. I couldn’t convince anyone to watch it with me until mid way through season 2 when “Home” premiered that I forced a friend to watch S1E1 and he joined me. That was my first rewatch on S1 and I became addicted to watching him react. It wasn’t until a few years later I found out people react to shows on TH-cam. That’s when I discovered this channel and started watching. It’s been great watching you catch up over the last few years but even more fun taking the final season journey together. I’m glad you caught up when you did and who knew watching two strangers enjoy something would bring so much joy and emotion. Thanks for making the world a little bit smaller.
I understand this feeling completely. I've been watching since the beginning as well, and finally got some of my friends to start watching about a year ago (around the time season 5 was wrapping up). It was a show I just had to share with someone, and thanks to Kat & Sonny, Scriptonite, Blind Wave, a host of other reaction channels, and eventually some of my own friends, I've been able to relive a bit of what it was like to enjoy this show for the very first time. So to everyone, whether you've been watching from the beginning or are just catching up, it's been a pleasure sharing this experience with you!
I too am a long time fan and felt as alone a Diogo floating in space. Then one day discovered TH-cam reactors like Kat&Sonny and realized there was a whole Roci family out there....😀
I watched on Syfy too. I had a coworker who watched also, we had some good chats. Good grief, how did we do it? How do we survive the wait? Week to week, season to season. And as you see with every reactor, no show does episodes with cliffhangers better than than the expanse.
They still managed to squeeze in quite a bit of nostalgia in this short season. I really would have appreciated at least one call back to Julie. I love how she haunted the show for so long even after she was gone
no offence to george rr martin, but he was a sellout when it came to the show, gave DD way too much freedom, while the expanse book writers were heavily involved in everything with the show which made it so good@@laryco
I’ve watched every finale reaction and yours is the best. Hits me right in the feels. “Please don’t end” It was like saying goodbye to an old friend for the last time. It hurt, but was equally satisfying. What a perfect show. Nothing has come close.
Been watching your expanse reactions since the beginning of global quarantine. You two and your reactions to not only this show but all the others shows have gotten myself and a lot of others into a place of feeling like we are watching a show with friends. You two are chicken soup for the soul
"It doesn't matter if you ever know - you just have to try." Maybe Naomi will never know Filip survived, but she knows she tried. Holden called her very wise after she said that, which reminds me of more wise words from this wise woman: "Walking away is the only choice we have." She showed this to Filip when she impossibly left the Pella. What a role model for him to be so brave.
My fav part of the whole episode is when Drummer tells Holden it's a good plan, and would make a belter proud, and the heart felt "Thank you" from Holden was so sincere and he appreciated the compliment from Drummer of all people.
I think you two are my favorite reactors because (1) you're both very intelligent (you pick up on stuff on the first viewing, like how the protomolecule monster fighting Bobbie was distracted by what was happening on Venus) so you have good insights, and (2) you are very supportive of each other when the other cries,
I love how there have been callbacks to the rest of the series- Prax providing info on modified yeast to help Earth's food supply, modified armour based on Protomolecule research, Inaros' disguised ship and use of shipping containers to transport assault troops are the same tactics the Roci used in earlier seasons, when the Roci saves Amos and Bobbi it lights them up with a searchlight same as it did at the start of the season when James was on the asteroid, Bobbi's rocket attack on the railgun reactor is a callback to her introduction, the transport used for the assault is the same type as the Canterbury the analysis of the ring gate entities by the Ilus scientist helps wake them up to kill Inaros
Damn! I have seen the episode three times and every time barely held my tears. And couldn't hold them this time... It is a beautiful story and I have actually subscribed to this channel thanks to the Expanse reactions for season 3 - it is pretty much the first reaction channel I've noticed in the internet so thanks a lot for your work! Couple of points, so a lot... Marco Inaros - we really rarely get so well constructed villains like him. Very smart, clearly charismatic, with deep convictions, however also a perfect narcissistic type capable of darkest deeds. In the past he could be a conqueror leading armies to reshape the world and in this reality he was very close to becoming one. I love how he has dealt with the problem how to defeat enemy fleets of similar size to his forces - all he needed (apparently to his enemies) was not to lose and retreat to the ring space, but he managed to entirely break the balance of forces by hiding the Pella in the weakest fleet and defeat Drummer's fleet. In the 5th season we can hear him saying 'you must always have a knife in the darkness' and this time the knife was the Pella. A perfect opposite of Holden. Was only defeated because Naomi played something from entirely different set of rules, something he couldn't understand. A very, very scary person and his defeat was very satisfying. Laconia - the 'Spartan world'. I think that Duarte fashioned another blade from this world and its resources. Clearly a man who thinks a lot has to be done to 'defend the Humanity' i.e. kill Gods - I guess. I like that even with so little we have reached a level of a certain understanding of the man and that who he is is another scary realization in the series. Drummer. Everything perfectly according of what we could expect from this person. The fact she will essentially hold one of the most important positions in the entire human civilization is very fitting. She has guts, she has skills and she is the best possible choice to do so. In my opinion she is one of the best sf characters we have seen on a screen. Ever. Beaten and bruised. The assault on the ring station. It is very good 'landing war sequence', but frankly what I like more is the consequences - how everyone seems beaten, tired, bruised (especially Bobby) - much like in movies such as Die Hard Ty & That Guy constantly mention. And actually let's not forget that they've lost the battle and still decide to make a last stand which they win only thanks to Naomi. What I also like a lot in the entire battle sequence is how lethal the single rail gun is - they've mentioned infinite inertia last episode, but I didn't expect such a deadly rate of fire. Makes sense and looked spectacular. BTW I am sure you've noticed that already but the names of the landing marines are all from known sf movies, especially from Aliens. Clarissa. Only some shows can do it - turn a villain of the story, a murderer into a character we like and are sorry for. Plus isn't a chance for redemption a part of human experience and actual humanity itself? Just like in works of Terry Pratchett without those made up things such as morality we only have lifeless order of drifting rocks in silent vacuum. Music. The entire show owes a lot of to Clinton Shorter th-cam.com/channels/Ng7XBPxFUqif6Mkqno_56Q.htmlplaylists I hope the entire soundtrack will be available when they release the series on Blue Ray. Personally I consider the show the worthy successor of Battlestar Galactica - the serious subjects, the amazing music, the story arcs and how semi-realistic (in BSG) space was. Everything is here in the Expanse, but better. I also think in a way this is the Firefly we could never get. The last episode was the great, the amazing, even the perfect way to conclude the story. I hope that if we get something new it will manage to reach similar levels. Take care!
So many great and emotional moments in the episode. Every time I see Amos cover Bobbie and say “I got you, Bobbie” gets the the tears welling up every time. I definitely feel Kat when she said please don’t end. I love this show a ton and it’s sad to see it and the characters go. 😭
Also, unfortunately I can't watch the discussion after (so I could be wrong about this) but I did want to mention two things I haven't seen brought up on other reactions so far. 1. One part of Avasarala's growth which people seem to have missed is in the interaction with the bridge officer. He questions her presence and abruptly she cuts him off like she always does when an underling challenges her. ...but not to tell him to shut up or do as he's told. She takes the time to explain to him why she made her decision. She doesn't want him to "just do his fucking job." This time, she lets him understand her thought process. A kinder, gentler Queen has emerged through all the sorrow and strife. 2. In that final exterior shot of the Pella as it approaches its demise, the show tips its hand. Earlier, the skiff is clearly seen attached to the Pella's hull. But on that final approach, the camera moves in a way which reveals all sides of the Pella and there's no skiff there anymore. To quote a line from a series which greatly influenced this one: "The details are everything." Thanks for staying aboard for Mr. Holden's Wild Ride, Kat & Sonny. See you ... out _there._
"To quote a line from a series which greatly influenced this one: "The details are everything."" In addition, one of Clarissas symptoms is listed as salt deficiency and then she asks if she used too much salt in the food.
@@hellospringlake Most people get that one but it's still a nice detail! She mentions she likes it salty, she sees the salt craving as a symptom of her condition, but she dials it back when she cooks for the crew and even checks with everyone that she prepared it to _their_ tastes, not hers.
You’d think they’d notice the skiff leaving, on their sensors if nothing else. Immediate thought would be deserters. It’d be targeted. Been a while since I read the book, I think the Pella is docked at Callisto and Filip simply doesn’t report back to the ship before it leaves.
@@FreemanicParacusia Filip has command clearance and the fleet has been bloodied, including the Pella. A repair skiff getting underway seems mundane. The only person who would question the skiff's immediate departure is Marco. Everyone else aboard would likely assume Filip is on mission, and no one on the other ships wouldn't dare ask about the skiff leaving the whole formation if neither Marco nor Pella bridge comms mention it. Filip slipping away under the cover of Marco's giant ego and penchant for secrecy seems entirely plausible. At least, that's how I look at it.
It is the weirdest feeling, to miss imaginary people. I will miss the crew of the Roci and all the characters but be happy whenever I see them pop up in anything after this.
Really like how Shoreh held her smile and flash a look at the camera. One cannot sure whether she is smiling for the press or Holden. Personally I think it's both, it's Avasarala the quintessential politician who keep everyone guessing. She had came far enough to give Holden and Drummer a chance, and that smile is both approval of Holden's choice and perhaps a bit of pride for her boy James had all grown up and pull a fast one on her. At the same time, she probably recognize Mars and Earth need time to rebuild so if things doesn't work out, she would remedy that her way, but now, need the camera sees that she gave support to Holden and Drummer. On a separate note, LIang Walker (the pirate) sacrifice not only F'ed up Marco's ship. The other frigate (that Drummer and fleet fire at) had to clashed into his ship to save the Pella. So he took out a frigate, heavily damage the Pella, killed Marco's most competent subordinate, thereby let Filip see how Marco is not even concern with Rosenfeld -- all in all he really intimidate Marco sexually! Almost forgot, for one more time. F U Marco!!!
Yes, you had the entire Aliens "squad" (Hudson, Hicks, Ripley, Vasquez), Kara Thrace from BSG, Ryan Deckard from Blade Runner, Duncan Idaho from Dune, etc etc. Biiiig "cameo" list :D
@@PlacidDragon Also, the "severe threat" guy who was about to kill Bobbie before being shot by Amos had a rocket launcher identified as "BFG 9001" (probably an upgraded version of the iconic BFG 9000 from the Doom franchise)
I’m really going to miss this show. The Expanse featured such amazingly written & memorable characters. It’s been such a ride watching The Expanse with you guys. Thank you K&S!
Did you notice that Marco had to start the rah rah chant himself “beltalowda” when in the past the belters would shout “Marco”! The crew was also thinking “wait, things really aren’t going well under Marco LOL. This was hands down the best Sci-fi show on TV. I absolutely loved it and am so sad this is the end. I’m currently rewatching the series (again) and just got to season six. I’m glad you’re starting the books! They are so good (book fan from the start)!!!
Kat & Sonny!! We made it!! Great reaction! I started following you two back in GOT! I absolutely love your reactions videos! So when I found out you were reacting to The Expanse I was SO EXCITED!! And never disappointed! About Filip, when he realized everything his mother told about Marco had been revealed to him I think he remembered what his mother told him about when she thought about walking out of an air lock but made another choice and told him sometimes the only choice anyone ever has is walking away. When they show us that Filip made his choice, Naomi's voice over the scene she was telling Holden the choices we make to help someone isn't for recognition or a pat on the head for ourselves. It may help someone and we may never know. Naomi may never know she helped Filip, but he does... I've had a very hard time these past few days excepting this is the end. And I was fixing to go to bed but your video posted so I had to watch. Now I'm a damn mess again! I think the moment was summed up best when Kat said with both of you had tears rolling " Please don't end " 😢 🙏 I lost it! 😭 Thank you both for sharing your journey with us! It has meant more than you will ever know! Yam Seng!!
For some reason Bobbie saying 'You never say that before a fight, you say Good Hunting' was what got me teary the most. Battlestar Galactica was my favourite sci fi show right up until the Expanse came out, now they're sharing that spot. To have such a direct reference (plus Kara Thrace as one of the assault team members) made me super emotional. Such a good finale. They did a stellar job with this and honoured so much sci fi legacy with it. Sad that it's over, but I am so happy with the way it ended, after so many shows I once liked butchered their final season/episode, this was a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to see what they come up with for the final three books - after this finale, I have complete faith that whatever will happen will be good. And so happy to have been along for the ride with you two.
So understandable that reaction to that last shot... Bittersweet and another amazing music score, which is something you thankfully pointed out a few times, how amazing the music has been. Clinton Shorter definitely needs more recognition... Really bummed that apparently the production company doesn't want to release the remaining music for S5 & 6 for unknown reasons.
it's like ... losing a friend. someone beloved. i'm a sap, i know, but i loved these characters and this show, and i'm already missing the hell out of them.
I was crying too. Seriously, perhaps for the first time in the last couple of years or more. This is probably the last episode of the whole show. This team and this show have become native to the audience. For a long, long time, The Expanse will remain the best Sci-Fi series.
1:03:06 remember the show is set in the 24th century so life expectancy is much higher than today. Around 130 years in the inner planets if I remember correctly.
Don't worry Kat. I reacted the same way, like saying goodbye to a close friend after 6 years together. Thankfully, we still have the books and I started rereading from Persepolis Rising again. If they couldn't do all 9 books I'm actually totally happy with the way they ended it here, but yeah, I'm sad for the same reasons Sonny listed. I want to thank you for the great reactions all along. Hey, maybe a book club series??!?? I would check in with you guys for that. Oh, and Winston Duarte said "You were a useful distraction but I have gods to kill." He was watching the orbital platform building something.
I found a TH-camr who is summarizing book 7. Just out of curiosity I listened to the first chapter/section. I see that the next trilogy waste no time to get to the action. I'm still not sure if I want to read the books or wait for whatever comes next. I hate spoiling a great show but Not sure I can wait
If you read the names of those on the assault team on the computer screen, they are the names of heroes from various sci-fi franchises or the name of authors. These include commander shepherd from Mass effect, John Rico from starship troopers, William Riker from star trek, Gial Ackbar from star wars (admiral Ackbar), Bowman from 2001, Deckard from total recall, Jack oneill from stargate, and others.
Marco put all his trust in Duarte - an inner. You'd think he'd know better! I don't think anything could highlight Marco's arrogance more than that spectacular failure of foresight.
And so, Marco robs Ceres blind, sabotages the docks, and vaporizes the station's remaining water supply, all by telling everyone what they wanted to hear. But now, Admiral Duarte has wrapped Marco around his little finger and strung him along for weeks or months before finally slamming the door on his fingers at a crucial moment, all by telling him what he wanted to hear. Well, Marco, I believe this is what Inners refer to as being "hoist on your own petard." (You can look up the unfamiliar words while figuring out how to claim this was all part of your master plan.)
It’s not that he put all is trust in Duarte, it’s that he has no alternative but to work with him. Marco knew the Mickeys couldn’t be trusted in the long run, and I doubt Duarte got any joy from arming the Belters to kill his fellow Martians. As we saw after the funeral on Laconia, Duarte felt bittersweet over the death of the Martian Dream on Mars. Laconia is the torch he carries for Mars, and he still cares about the folks left on Mars. But his course of action was necessary, so while he isn’t crying over their deaths, nor does he get pleasure out of seeing Belter mass murderers blasting Martian ships with Martian weapons.
On God. That legit the longest silence mode you had being speechless at the end of a show. Hot dang! That’s how much Kat and Sonny love The Expanse. :)
Note that Marco turned his head to Philip's chair juste before being wiped out of existance Not only he died miserably, but he knew Philip didn't, as an ultimate betrail. And even more when Philip chose to change his name to take his Naomi's It fits perfectly the final words from Drummer's speech "Live shamed and die empty"
Ty frank put it perfectly in the aftershow. In the very first episode Holden turned down a promotion on the Cant out of immaturity, in the very last episode Holden turned down a promotion out of maturity... the most Holden move ever! Thanks for the journey x
Well, it wouldn't really be 'The Expanse' if Amos didn't get hit or wounded at least once per season. Guess this is goodbye for now, Dan & Ty. Just finished reading 'Leviathan Falls', and you guys didn't disappoint. Never expected you to, either. Legends, the both of ya. Massive props to the cast and crew of the show. It's rare to see one that communicates the source material's vision with such fidelity, despite all the crazy production challenges you guys had. Could say you fought as just as hard as the ground assault teams on the ring station. Given how Clarissa's got ~5 years left on her, I hope this'd mean that we wouldn't really have to wait a decade for production to start working on the final trilogy. With more great shows taking the 'Hiatus' route (instead of Cancellation) when major prod obstacles pop up, I take comfort in the idea that we'd get to see The Expanse _properly_ wrap up on-screen in the future. And as always, your reaction to the ep was excellent. Keep up the great work!
Clarissa has "average" 5 years.. meaning could be less or more.. usually means that its more if you dont have a big problem or a terminal illness (thats what averages mean as they incluide ALL factors in the number, some people die fast or have other illness where this problem was derived from wich cuases death in less time) but in any case even streetching it cant be much more than 7-10 years wich means they wont go the book gap but a shorter one... IF they do the final 3 books.
Yeah it's been such a bittersweet experience this season. I'll miss these characters soooooooo much. I also started the books this week. Was really looking forward for your reaction. It has been great to join you through this journey.
"please don't end" was exactly how I felt. What a wonderful ride it's been. We've all enjoyed following it with you (and it may not be over yet......).
I think they managed to wrap it up well, and left me feeling satisfied despite leaving a window open for continuation, seeing the Laconia stuff. God, I'll miss this show, it just landed perfectly each time.
I discovered the expanse randomly when I had a Hulu live subscription and came across Godspeed (season 2, episode 4), specifically the scene where Miller is on Eros waiting for the Nauvoo to hit, ready to die, when it suddenly dodges (in his point of view), and I was so taken aback. I was like, this is the guy from Hung in space, what the f... and then I started watching it from the beginning... and you know the rest. I remember there being crickets when I searched it on tumblr.. I screamed into what felt like oblivion for a good long while until the show finally began to gain traction. Now it's an end of an era. I hope not actually. But if it is, I'm satisfied overall. And that says a lot with what little they had of episodes this final season. I loved your guys' commentary and I laughed and cried with you throughout. Thank you so much.
Yes! Thank you for doing these reactions for The Expanse. It's been a great journey. Yeah the ring turning red and what appears to be the Lacconia platform or ship is the capper. I would have like to have seen one last X-Ray that had Ian bringing Cara to the dogs or something even weirder, but it is what it is. The fights were so intense I had to watch it standing up and closer to the TV to get a better cinema experience. So many great moments and it's sad to see the show go... But there's Raised By Wolves Season 2 coming up soon! Hopefully there's someone that would like to make some TV movies or series on the rest of the books.
I can't believe we're here! But what an ending! The Expanse has ruly made history. I don't think we'll see anything like this series in a very long time.
A grand finale. I was sure this episode would get you both very emotional. It was a great journey, right? And The Expanse was one of the first things, and the longest, that I watched from you reacts. So it's an amazing journey coming to an end, for both reasons. We will be eagerly waiting for the end of this story.
I finally finished the Expanse, watching your reactions after each episode. It took me 2 tries (I watched the first 5 episodes years ago, then finally binged it alongside you guys). We need more!!!!!!!
My understanding is that Book 7 is a 30 year jump in time from Book 6, which is why this was a very "natural" stop point. That said, its obvious that they are not done with this yet, the entire Laconia story was basically a "waste of time", unless something else adds to and builds on that story (there was no conclusion or anything, just hints of what the future could bring). So at some point, i *really* hope that we'll see more Expanse, in some form :) Thank you Kat and Sonny for the very enjoyable journey, very sad that it is over.. but its hopefully not the end :)
We came at the end of intersolar story and at precipice of interstellar story....even when the story would end,the universe are still rolling. Tenye wa cesh gut Kat & Sonny.
Avasarala looked both ways to make sure she was being seen before she put on a smile and extended her hand to Holden. She's not sure Holden's ploy will work, but she took public responsibility for endorsing it. One of the best series finales ever...arguably the best. Glad to have taken this right with you.
People in this story can live quite a long time. Look at Holden. He is radiated and would die within days if not treated. So even a time jump of 30 years might not kill any of the characters we love 🙂. And then there is Alex... . So who knows... but can't wait to see how they will continue this franchise.
This one gets a full watch at 1.0 speed, found you watching this show, chatted with you a couple of times (sent you the churn hope you enjoyed it) and now the end. Hope you loved it. ::begins::
FWIW, Camina Drummer is a character in the book series; she just shows up much later down the road than she did here in the TV series. ;) A series finale done right. They really knocked this one out of the park. I'll miss it, but I'm glad it ended on such a high note. A fun reaction.
As a big fan of SciFi, I can honestly say that this show is the best series or film that I’ve seen in that genre. Ever. And as someone who has lived almost a half century (48), I’ve seen a hell of a lot of SciFi in that time. I’ve even started the books, which is something I never do after watching a TV/film adaptation. That’s how much I want to learn more about the world Dan & Ty created. I really hope some network/service either continues the show, does a prequel, or creates a spin-off that is based in this universe. I really enjoyed your reactions Kat & Sonny, and I watched them all. Thanks so much for letting others go on this ride with you. All the best from here in Arizona 🇺🇸
@@miguelgarr576 i had not seen that! they loved working easter eggs to other sci-fi properties into the show. the millennium falcon targeting system on the Pella a couple episodes back is one of the best though.
What really makes me hopeful that something is in the works is Shohreh did an interview the other day where she specifically said when asked if she would be willing to play Avasarala again, "Any time, if they give me a call and tell me they’d like to do another series or a movie. There are still the final three books and I think the idea is to turn it into a movie, like two and a half or three hours maybe. There are millions of people out there who would like to hear the rest of the saga." And they lined that up really well with the way Duarte rejected sending any more munitions. At first he needed the Free Navy to hold the ring space, but something changed and he didnt need that anymore, right after he was staring up at the ship with that satisfied look on his face.
Don’t know how they could compress the final three books into a movie. They span several years’ worth of events… you couldn’t compress any season of The Expanse into what is essentially a short story format.
With regards to them losing pods faster than they anticipated during the ring assault. Amos provided a clue when he said Naomi normally never makes mistakes with math. What happened was that since they woke the ring entities during the assault they actually lost some of the dummy containers during the ring transit meaning that there were actually fewer of those containers in the ring space so now the probability of getting hit goes up. The fact that they sent a mass of very small objects through the rings and could observe at what point the ring entities awoke meant that Naomi could also get a good handle on how much mass and energy passed through the rings before they reached the tipping point. It is a bit like trying to use a balance scale to measure 1.5 kgs and you only have 1 kg weights available (big ships) to measure with. You know one is not enough and two is too much but beyond that, you have no idea, If you are measuring using 100 g weights you would know that you need 15 exactly to get 1.5 kg. The small mass shipping containers were like that for her in that because they had such small mass she could get a very accurate view of how many transited along with the two ships before the ring entities awoke.
@@jrich749 If you are referring to how things happened in the book (I have read the books but please no spoilers for people that haven't read them), I understand what you are saying. However, this part of the story differs from the book to the TV show. Based on the presented events in the TV show, there isn't another explanation that makes sense (at least to me).
Let's pause for a moment in appreciation of a series that managed for 6 seasons to deliver a consistent quality of writing. Not once have they delved into the usual nonsensical mumbo-jumbo a lot of series do. Everything always made sense here, and even the secondary characters were always written with finesse. Just think about it, how often do you get invested in the fate of bad guys from the other side? How about once-off characters, appearing for a couple of episodes and having more depth than main characters from a lesser show?
The journey has been amazing with you 2 so thank you for the reaction to this amazing series. I'll keep watching your videos but still I wish you both always the best 😍🥰
Hey, you two, I really enjoyed your reactions and appreciation to my favourite show. As reader of all the books, I can say I am very happy about the ending. It was so, so good!!! And I really like the fact you (Sonny) will read the books, too. What about you Kat? Do you plan to read them, too? One thing I would like to say: The visual medium of the show was limited. Until book 6 or 7 this is not a big problem. But as reader, you will recognize how limited it is in the two scenes about Sauvatere and Marco getting eaten/dutchman. Because you can describe things you will NEVER be able to show. Books 8 and 9 have a lot more scenes, where I really don't know, how they would show this without loosing a big part of what is described in the books. So even IF there will be three more seasons, movies or whatever - I think to read the books will be a huge win in any case. Have fun with it. And I am truly interested in something like a podcast about your thoughts to the books. Bye - for now...
Awww I feel you when you ask it to "not be over". I have enjoyed watching your reactions to this show throughout. I'm not going to lie I even watched some of them more than once. Best wishes
GREAT video guys!! It's REALLY good to see others who were affected in the EXACT same manner I was. My wife and son thought something was wrong with me. 🤣 This series and the steps we took to save it, was a true experience and has created a bond among fans.
The final shot of the Roci disappearing into space, with the beautifully redone theme of the show, felt like the perfect send off. I could write an essay on how that last song was genius, but I'll spare everybody here. Just know that it was perfect.
I love that Marco was erased from existence and that Filip wasn't at his side at the end. I'm also happy that we got the Roci crew (minus Alex...sniff) that many of us wanted, but sad that Drummer's family was torn apart. I'm hoping the surviving members drift back together to work with her at the Transport Union.
The show was great, and the books even better. The station, above Laconia, plays a major part in the last three books. The final chapter....had me crying pretty hard......end the epilogue made me smile.
The books are real good. While some of the characters differ a little bit, I find it very fun to hold both portrayals up side by side and see what each one highlights. There's a lot more fun insight to be found as well as some very fun humorous moments. I really hope you enjoy them. Also, what a finale. Excellent work, excellent acting, solid writing that most importantly stayed true to the Expanse even though the story isn't finished.

"Please Don't End"
Damn....I felt that one in the gut! Best thing I ever watched on a screen and I doubt anything else will ever match it besides its final trilogy. Hopefully in the future we can all enjoy that final trilogy of this wonderful story!
I think we **all** felt that.
I did enjoy it greatly. What I hold onto is that they wouldn't include the Strange Dogs novella info unless there was some plan to complete the book series at some point.
Also, Clarissa's prospective death happening within 5 years? That suggests to me a plan to really shorten the time jump and continue the story.
yep, seeing the crew in their 50s/60s wouldnt really be that cool lmao. I REALLY hope someone picks up the show to continue with a massive budget@@ricksexton8155
i said it when i was watching it for the first time on my own, "please dont end" with hard ugly tears in my eyes.
Bittersweet coming to the end, not just for the show but because I don't know when you guys will watch a show I'm interested in again. I don't comment much but wanted to just let you both know I appreciate you. :)
I think it’s shit really. This series should not be finished yet, series 6 should have been a 12 parter with only half of the story we have seen. This was such a good series. Why was it not advertised more and pushed. Oh well, we got what we got at least.
Dominique's scream when she sent the Pella down was an ad-lib, it shows how invested the core cast was in the story. I don't know if they wrote a short story about the fate of Filip, but that would make a good one shot.
I was given five years to live 21 years ago, and I am still beating the odds, maybe Peaches will too.
I have enjoyed taking this ride with you guys, I hope we can find something to enjoy together in the future. Held og Lykke!
No short story, we still have no idea what happened with Filip next.
There is one more novella due - "Sins of the Fathers", which is suggestive :) Maybe it will cover Terresa as well.
Naomis scream made me cry instantly, and I'm not someone to cry easily. It was so powerful, just raw pain.
All I am going to say is that Peaches is alive 30 years later as well in Book 7. She more or less needs to visit the medbay on the Roci constantly to flush the toxic stuff the mods are leaking into her body. But she is still kicking.
@@uros.u.novakovic I actually think the "5 years to live" prognosis allows them to bring the show back with a shorter time jump.. meaning they can keep it going with all the same actors.
The fact they put made that change from the books give me hope that that was the reason why.
The last short story is about Filip Nagata......and the choices he makes.
It's so touching and cute that Kat cried not for the other scenes, but the final shot. I know, Kat. I know....
But given how popular this show is, was, and will be, I'm positive we will get movies and spin-off series in the future. The future is bright. Oye deng, inyalowda!
in terms of numbers i fear its not popular
Season 6 trailer had 1,2 million views, hundrets of average netflix shows have more than that
@@esi3mn4j68 I wouldn't base how popular a show is off a trailer video and views of said trailer.
@@esi3mn4j68 I don’t watch trailers for anything I watch. I just watch the show/movie. A lot of people I know also do this.
I'd be interested to know exactly how streaming services like Netflix and Prime evaluate a series that they stream commercial-free. The litmus test for a popular network series has always how high the network could raise the price of commercial time. If you had advertisers pay a large premium for commercial time, you had a show which was sure to have a long run. Thinking about it a little bit, those commercial prices were probably powered by Nielsen ratings. Is Nielsen still compiling stats on each of the 10,000 shows airing weekly on the hundreds of streaming services and the remaining traditional networks? If so, no matter how excellent The Expanse was, you have to assume viewers will find it, first, and then become fans of the show. Even then, with so many viewing options available nowadays, what is the best a producer can expect in viewership when it is split among 10,000 shows?
Instead of wasting money on the Lord of the Rings series that everyone hates, amazon should have spent money on more Expanse. Even if it was expensive.
Concerning Marco's death: It was incredibly satisfying because of how hung up he was on himself being the face of the Free Navy. He said it wasn't about him, but everyone who paid attention around him knew he saw himself as the center of it all. Last season, he even said Filip was insignificant but that he would take over the Free Navy - the throne - when Marco was no more, because he saw Filip as an extension of himself. Marco wanted to immortalize himself. But in the end, he had no spectacular death, no martyrdom, he didn't even go down fighting. His final words were words of retreat, he died shamed and empty - just like Drummer said he would. And NOTHING was left of him. He was obliterated, disintegrated, along with his ship. And his son? His extension of himself? Put the nail in the coffin by changing his name, erasing the Inaros legacy once and for all. I think when we see Filip change his name to Nagata was when Marco REALLY died.
Still and all, I would kind of liked to see Marco die as he had lived, in so much as his final statement should not have been "Veer Off" but rather, "I expected this, of course. It's all part of my master plan to rule the so--"
That part at the end with the roci flying off into the stars and the music and the knowledge that they were the last frames we’ll see of the roci, made me more emotional than I was prepared for.
I love how bobby did the same move she did when introduced in season 2 (the fly in and backpack missle attack) nice call back :-)
they'd used the power armor a number of times but the fly in backpack missile attack thing never even got brought up between s2e1 and the last episode, i'm glad they did that
I am lucky to have watched the Expanse since the first episode aired on SyFy in 2015. It felt like a secret the first season. I couldn’t convince anyone to watch it with me until mid way through season 2 when “Home” premiered that I forced a friend to watch S1E1 and he joined me. That was my first rewatch on S1 and I became addicted to watching him react. It wasn’t until a few years later I found out people react to shows on TH-cam. That’s when I discovered this channel and started watching. It’s been great watching you catch up over the last few years but even more fun taking the final season journey together. I’m glad you caught up when you did and who knew watching two strangers enjoy something would bring so much joy and emotion. Thanks for making the world a little bit smaller.
I've watched it since the start and after all these years still haven't been able to convince anyone to watch it, but I'll keep trying
I understand this feeling completely. I've been watching since the beginning as well, and finally got some of my friends to start watching about a year ago (around the time season 5 was wrapping up). It was a show I just had to share with someone, and thanks to Kat & Sonny, Scriptonite, Blind Wave, a host of other reaction channels, and eventually some of my own friends, I've been able to relive a bit of what it was like to enjoy this show for the very first time.
So to everyone, whether you've been watching from the beginning or are just catching up, it's been a pleasure sharing this experience with you!
@@techmaster9123 Same here, I've only been able to convince two others to watch the show, it's really frustrating.
I too am a long time fan and felt as alone a Diogo floating in space. Then one day discovered TH-cam reactors like Kat&Sonny and realized there was a whole Roci family out there....😀
I watched on Syfy too. I had a coworker who watched also, we had some good chats.
Good grief, how did we do it? How do we survive the wait? Week to week, season to season. And as you see with every reactor, no show does episodes with cliffhangers better than than the expanse.
They stuck the landing. What a sensational series. I really hope we hear news of how the final 3 books will be adapted soon enough.
They still managed to squeeze in quite a bit of nostalgia in this short season. I really would have appreciated at least one call back to Julie. I love how she haunted the show for so long even after she was gone
Absolutely everything that GOT failed at
no offence to george rr martin, but he was a sellout when it came to the show, gave DD way too much freedom, while the expanse book writers were heavily involved in everything with the show which made it so good@@laryco
I’ve watched every finale reaction and yours is the best. Hits me right in the feels.
“Please don’t end”
It was like saying goodbye to an old friend for the last time. It hurt, but was equally satisfying.
What a perfect show. Nothing has come close.
Been watching your expanse reactions since the beginning of global quarantine. You two and your reactions to not only this show but all the others shows have gotten myself and a lot of others into a place of feeling like we are watching a show with friends. You two are chicken soup for the soul
❤️
I love that at his very last moment of life, Marco looks and sees Filip's seat empty.
"Please don't end..." 😢😢😭😭😭😭
"It doesn't matter if you ever know - you just have to try." Maybe Naomi will never know Filip survived, but she knows she tried. Holden called her very wise after she said that, which reminds me of more wise words from this wise woman: "Walking away is the only choice we have." She showed this to Filip when she impossibly left the Pella. What a role model for him to be so brave.
My fav part of the whole episode is when Drummer tells Holden it's a good plan, and would make a belter proud, and the heart felt "Thank you" from Holden was so sincere and he appreciated the compliment from Drummer of all people.
I think you two are my favorite reactors because (1) you're both very intelligent (you pick up on stuff on the first viewing, like how the protomolecule monster fighting Bobbie was distracted by what was happening on Venus) so you have good insights, and (2) you are very supportive of each other when the other cries,
I love how there have been callbacks to the rest of the series-
Prax providing info on modified yeast to help Earth's food supply,
modified armour based on Protomolecule research,
Inaros' disguised ship and use of shipping containers to transport assault troops are the same tactics the Roci used in earlier seasons,
when the Roci saves Amos and Bobbi it lights them up with a searchlight same as it did at the start of the season when James was on the asteroid,
Bobbi's rocket attack on the railgun reactor is a callback to her introduction,
the transport used for the assault is the same type as the Canterbury
the analysis of the ring gate entities by the Ilus scientist helps wake them up to kill Inaros
Damn! I have seen the episode three times and every time barely held my tears. And couldn't hold them this time...
It is a beautiful story and I have actually subscribed to this channel thanks to the Expanse reactions for season 3 - it is pretty much the first reaction channel I've noticed in the internet so thanks a lot for your work!
Couple of points, so a lot...
Marco Inaros - we really rarely get so well constructed villains like him. Very smart, clearly charismatic, with deep convictions, however also a perfect narcissistic type capable of darkest deeds. In the past he could be a conqueror leading armies to reshape the world and in this reality he was very close to becoming one. I love how he has dealt with the problem how to defeat enemy fleets of similar size to his forces - all he needed (apparently to his enemies) was not to lose and retreat to the ring space, but he managed to entirely break the balance of forces by hiding the Pella in the weakest fleet and defeat Drummer's fleet. In the 5th season we can hear him saying 'you must always have a knife in the darkness' and this time the knife was the Pella.
A perfect opposite of Holden. Was only defeated because Naomi played something from entirely different set of rules, something he couldn't understand.
A very, very scary person and his defeat was very satisfying.
Laconia - the 'Spartan world'. I think that Duarte fashioned another blade from this world and its resources. Clearly a man who thinks a lot has to be done to 'defend the Humanity' i.e. kill Gods - I guess. I like that even with so little we have reached a level of a certain understanding of the man and that who he is is another scary realization in the series.
Drummer. Everything perfectly according of what we could expect from this person. The fact she will essentially hold one of the most important positions in the entire human civilization is very fitting. She has guts, she has skills and she is the best possible choice to do so.
In my opinion she is one of the best sf characters we have seen on a screen. Ever.
Beaten and bruised. The assault on the ring station. It is very good 'landing war sequence', but frankly what I like more is the consequences - how everyone seems beaten, tired, bruised (especially Bobby) - much like in movies such as Die Hard Ty & That Guy constantly mention.
And actually let's not forget that they've lost the battle and still decide to make a last stand which they win only thanks to Naomi.
What I also like a lot in the entire battle sequence is how lethal the single rail gun is - they've mentioned infinite inertia last episode, but I didn't expect such a deadly rate of fire. Makes sense and looked spectacular.
BTW I am sure you've noticed that already but the names of the landing marines are all from known sf movies, especially from Aliens.
Clarissa. Only some shows can do it - turn a villain of the story, a murderer into a character we like and are sorry for.
Plus isn't a chance for redemption a part of human experience and actual humanity itself? Just like in works of Terry Pratchett without those made up things such as morality we only have lifeless order of drifting rocks in silent vacuum.
Music. The entire show owes a lot of to Clinton Shorter th-cam.com/channels/Ng7XBPxFUqif6Mkqno_56Q.htmlplaylists I hope the entire soundtrack will be available when they release the series on Blue Ray.
Personally I consider the show the worthy successor of Battlestar Galactica - the serious subjects, the amazing music, the story arcs and how semi-realistic (in BSG) space was. Everything is here in the Expanse, but better.
I also think in a way this is the Firefly we could never get.
The last episode was the great, the amazing, even the perfect way to conclude the story.
I hope that if we get something new it will manage to reach similar levels.
Take care!
Cara Gee deserves an award for her Drummer sneer. The best sneer in the galaxy.
Everything about Drummer is epic.
So many great and emotional moments in the episode. Every time I see Amos cover Bobbie and say “I got you, Bobbie” gets the the tears welling up every time.
I definitely feel Kat when she said please don’t end. I love this show a ton and it’s sad to see it and the characters go. 😭
Also, unfortunately I can't watch the discussion after (so I could be wrong about this) but I did want to mention two things I haven't seen brought up on other reactions so far.
1. One part of Avasarala's growth which people seem to have missed is in the interaction with the bridge officer. He questions her presence and abruptly she cuts him off like she always does when an underling challenges her.
...but not to tell him to shut up or do as he's told. She takes the time to explain to him why she made her decision. She doesn't want him to "just do his fucking job." This time, she lets him understand her thought process. A kinder, gentler Queen has emerged through all the sorrow and strife.
2. In that final exterior shot of the Pella as it approaches its demise, the show tips its hand. Earlier, the skiff is clearly seen attached to the Pella's hull. But on that final approach, the camera moves in a way which reveals all sides of the Pella and there's no skiff there anymore.
To quote a line from a series which greatly influenced this one: "The details are everything."
Thanks for staying aboard for Mr. Holden's Wild Ride, Kat & Sonny.
See you ... out _there._
"To quote a line from a series which greatly influenced this one: "The details are everything.""
In addition, one of Clarissas symptoms is listed as salt deficiency and then she asks if she used too much salt in the food.
@@hellospringlake Most people get that one but it's still a nice detail!
She mentions she likes it salty, she sees the salt craving as a symptom of her condition, but she dials it back when she cooks for the crew and even checks with everyone that she prepared it to _their_ tastes, not hers.
Captain Holden. Respect the hat
You’d think they’d notice the skiff leaving, on their sensors if nothing else. Immediate thought would be deserters. It’d be targeted. Been a while since I read the book, I think the Pella is docked at Callisto and Filip simply doesn’t report back to the ship before it leaves.
@@FreemanicParacusia Filip has command clearance and the fleet has been bloodied, including the Pella. A repair skiff getting underway seems mundane. The only person who would question the skiff's immediate departure is Marco. Everyone else aboard would likely assume Filip is on mission, and no one on the other ships wouldn't dare ask about the skiff leaving the whole formation if neither Marco nor Pella bridge comms mention it.
Filip slipping away under the cover of Marco's giant ego and penchant for secrecy seems entirely plausible.
At least, that's how I look at it.
It is the weirdest feeling, to miss imaginary people. I will miss the crew of the Roci and all the characters but be happy whenever I see them pop up in anything after this.
Im not even halfway through Book 8 and its already crazier than I imagined
Seeing that adapted would blow y`alls minds
^ FACTS.
Book 9 is gonna blow you into the stratosphere
My favorite book in the series.
Is Book 9 a satisfying last Book?
@@esi3mn4j68 Stuck the landing hard, so good.
When you guys held hands I started crying thank you for your reviews awesome!!!
Really like how Shoreh held her smile and flash a look at the camera. One cannot sure whether she is smiling for the press or Holden. Personally I think it's both, it's Avasarala the quintessential politician who keep everyone guessing. She had came far enough to give Holden and Drummer a chance, and that smile is both approval of Holden's choice and perhaps a bit of pride for her boy James had all grown up and pull a fast one on her. At the same time, she probably recognize Mars and Earth need time to rebuild so if things doesn't work out, she would remedy that her way, but now, need the camera sees that she gave support to Holden and Drummer.
On a separate note, LIang Walker (the pirate) sacrifice not only F'ed up Marco's ship. The other frigate (that Drummer and fleet fire at) had to clashed into his ship to save the Pella. So he took out a frigate, heavily damage the Pella, killed Marco's most competent subordinate, thereby let Filip see how Marco is not even concern with Rosenfeld -- all in all he really intimidate Marco sexually!
Almost forgot, for one more time. F U Marco!!!
If you go look at the names of the drop soldiers they're all homages to sci fi characters, from Aliens to Blade Runner to Isaac Asimov
Commander Shepard
Yes, you had the entire Aliens "squad" (Hudson, Hicks, Ripley, Vasquez), Kara Thrace from BSG, Ryan Deckard from Blade Runner, Duncan Idaho from Dune, etc etc. Biiiig "cameo" list :D
@@PlacidDragon Also, the "severe threat" guy who was about to kill Bobbie before being shot by Amos had a rocket launcher identified as "BFG 9001" (probably an upgraded version of the iconic BFG 9000 from the Doom franchise)
@@axlm.808 and it's 9001 because "it's over 9000!!!"
I’m really going to miss this show. The Expanse featured such amazingly written & memorable characters. It’s been such a ride watching The Expanse with you guys. Thank you K&S!
Did you notice that Marco had to start the rah rah chant himself “beltalowda” when in the past the belters would shout “Marco”! The crew was also thinking “wait, things really aren’t going well under Marco LOL. This was hands down the best Sci-fi show on TV. I absolutely loved it and am so sad this is the end. I’m currently rewatching the series (again) and just got to season six. I’m glad you’re starting the books! They are so good (book fan from the start)!!!
It’s been an honor watching you two fall in love with this show and giving me another reason to rewatch it with people who get it.
The silence was deafening :)
Hopefully we will live to see the true ending, way more bittersweet one.
Thank you for your amazing reactions!
Kat & Sonny!!
We made it!! Great reaction!
I started following you two back in GOT!
I absolutely love your reactions videos! So when I found out you were reacting to The Expanse I was SO EXCITED!! And never disappointed!
About Filip, when he realized everything his mother told about Marco had been revealed to him I think he remembered what his mother told him about when she thought about walking out of an air lock but made another choice and told him sometimes the only choice anyone ever has is walking away. When they show us that Filip made his choice, Naomi's voice over the scene she was telling Holden the choices we make to help someone isn't for recognition or a pat on the head for ourselves. It may help someone and we may never know. Naomi may never know she helped Filip, but he does...
I've had a very hard time these past few days excepting this is the end. And I was fixing to go to bed but your video posted so I had to watch. Now I'm a damn mess again!
I think the moment was summed up best when Kat said with both of you had tears rolling " Please don't end " 😢 🙏 I lost it! 😭
Thank you both for sharing your journey with us! It has meant more than you will ever know!
Yam Seng!!
There’s gonna be a Telltale game of The Expanse! I hope you guys play it on Twitch :D
For some reason Bobbie saying 'You never say that before a fight, you say Good Hunting' was what got me teary the most. Battlestar Galactica was my favourite sci fi show right up until the Expanse came out, now they're sharing that spot. To have such a direct reference (plus Kara Thrace as one of the assault team members) made me super emotional. Such a good finale. They did a stellar job with this and honoured so much sci fi legacy with it. Sad that it's over, but I am so happy with the way it ended, after so many shows I once liked butchered their final season/episode, this was a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to see what they come up with for the final three books - after this finale, I have complete faith that whatever will happen will be good. And so happy to have been along for the ride with you two.
So understandable that reaction to that last shot... Bittersweet and another amazing music score, which is something you thankfully pointed out a few times, how amazing the music has been. Clinton Shorter definitely needs more recognition... Really bummed that apparently the production company doesn't want to release the remaining music for S5 & 6 for unknown reasons.
Best Reaction I've seen to the Finale...enjoyed the journey with you two! Thanks for the times with the show and Oyedeng Beltalowda
Best Episode Ever.......
it's like ... losing a friend. someone beloved. i'm a sap, i know, but i loved these characters and this show, and i'm already missing the hell out of them.
I was crying too. Seriously, perhaps for the first time in the last couple of years or more. This is probably the last episode of the whole show. This team and this show have become native to the audience. For a long, long time, The Expanse will remain the best Sci-Fi series.
Thank you. I cherish your reactions. Kat, I'm sorry for your loss.
27:03 summed up the feelings of all of us
1:03:06 remember the show is set in the 24th century so life expectancy is much higher than today. Around 130 years in the inner planets if I remember correctly.
Don't worry Kat. I reacted the same way, like saying goodbye to a close friend after 6 years together. Thankfully, we still have the books and I started rereading from Persepolis Rising again. If they couldn't do all 9 books I'm actually totally happy with the way they ended it here, but yeah, I'm sad for the same reasons Sonny listed. I want to thank you for the great reactions all along.
Hey, maybe a book club series??!?? I would check in with you guys for that.
Oh, and Winston Duarte said "You were a useful distraction but I have gods to kill." He was watching the orbital platform building something.
I found a TH-camr who is summarizing book 7. Just out of curiosity I listened to the first chapter/section. I see that the next trilogy waste no time to get to the action. I'm still not sure if I want to read the books or wait for whatever comes next. I hate spoiling a great show but Not sure I can wait
Started watching your channel because of the Expanse, it's been, (and may well continue to be), an amazing ride!
Oyedeng, inyalowda!
If you read the names of those on the assault team on the computer screen, they are the names of heroes from various sci-fi franchises or the name of authors. These include commander shepherd from Mass effect, John Rico from starship troopers, William Riker from star trek, Gial Ackbar from star wars (admiral Ackbar), Bowman from 2001, Deckard from total recall, Jack oneill from stargate, and others.
Marco put all his trust in Duarte - an inner. You'd think he'd know better! I don't think anything could highlight Marco's arrogance more than that spectacular failure of foresight.
*Duster
But don't worry about it we are all inners lol
@@brasilianguy100 Both eathers and Martians are inners.
@@brasilianguy100:
Dusters are inners.
And so, Marco robs Ceres blind, sabotages the docks, and vaporizes the station's remaining water supply, all by telling everyone what they wanted to hear. But now, Admiral Duarte has wrapped Marco around his little finger and strung him along for weeks or months before finally slamming the door on his fingers at a crucial moment, all by telling him what he wanted to hear.
Well, Marco, I believe this is what Inners refer to as being "hoist on your own petard." (You can look up the unfamiliar words while figuring out how to claim this was all part of your master plan.)
It’s not that he put all is trust in Duarte, it’s that he has no alternative but to work with him. Marco knew the Mickeys couldn’t be trusted in the long run, and I doubt Duarte got any joy from arming the Belters to kill his fellow Martians. As we saw after the funeral on Laconia, Duarte felt bittersweet over the death of the Martian Dream on Mars. Laconia is the torch he carries for Mars, and he still cares about the folks left on Mars. But his course of action was necessary, so while he isn’t crying over their deaths, nor does he get pleasure out of seeing Belter mass murderers blasting Martian ships with Martian weapons.
I started watching you guys for the expanse reactions. Just wanted to say I love this show and you guys!
You both are fantastic and I've been following your reactions to this show since you started - thank you for everything.
Feeling so many emotions over this episode and this entire series. Enjoyed the journey with you guys! Thank you for sharing your reactions!
On God. That legit the longest silence mode you had being speechless at the end of a show. Hot dang! That’s how much Kat and Sonny love The Expanse. :)
Note that Marco turned his head to Philip's chair juste before being wiped out of existance
Not only he died miserably, but he knew Philip didn't, as an ultimate betrail. And even more when Philip chose to change his name to take his Naomi's
It fits perfectly the final words from Drummer's speech "Live shamed and die empty"
Been waiting for this! I love watching people's reactions to this masterpiece. It's such a great show! Thanks for the heartfelt reaction.
Ty frank put it perfectly in the aftershow.
In the very first episode Holden turned down a promotion on the Cant out of immaturity, in the very last episode Holden turned down a promotion out of maturity... the most Holden move ever!
Thanks for the journey x
Well, it wouldn't really be 'The Expanse' if Amos didn't get hit or wounded at least once per season.
Guess this is goodbye for now, Dan & Ty. Just finished reading 'Leviathan Falls', and you guys didn't disappoint. Never expected you to, either. Legends, the both of ya.
Massive props to the cast and crew of the show. It's rare to see one that communicates the source material's vision with such fidelity, despite all the crazy production challenges you guys had. Could say you fought as just as hard as the ground assault teams on the ring station.
Given how Clarissa's got ~5 years left on her, I hope this'd mean that we wouldn't really have to wait a decade for production to start working on the final trilogy. With more great shows taking the 'Hiatus' route (instead of Cancellation) when major prod obstacles pop up, I take comfort in the idea that we'd get to see The Expanse _properly_ wrap up on-screen in the future.
And as always, your reaction to the ep was excellent. Keep up the great work!
Clarissa has "average" 5 years.. meaning could be less or more.. usually means that its more if you dont have a big problem or a terminal illness (thats what averages mean as they incluide ALL factors in the number, some people die fast or have other illness where this problem was derived from wich cuases death in less time) but in any case even streetching it cant be much more than 7-10 years wich means they wont go the book gap but a shorter one... IF they do the final 3 books.
Yeah it's been such a bittersweet experience this season. I'll miss these characters soooooooo much. I also started the books this week. Was really looking forward for your reaction. It has been great to join you through this journey.
"please don't end" was exactly how I felt. What a wonderful ride it's been. We've all enjoyed following it with you (and it may not be over yet......).
I started crying when it started.. I truly hope we get something more in the future. Top 3 shows of all time for me. Beautiful
I just love being able to watch this. Thanks for bringing us into your crew.
I think they managed to wrap it up well, and left me feeling satisfied despite leaving a window open for continuation, seeing the Laconia stuff. God, I'll miss this show, it just landed perfectly each time.
I discovered the expanse randomly when I had a Hulu live subscription and came across Godspeed (season 2, episode 4), specifically the scene where Miller is on Eros waiting for the Nauvoo to hit, ready to die, when it suddenly dodges (in his point of view), and I was so taken aback. I was like, this is the guy from Hung in space, what the f... and then I started watching it from the beginning... and you know the rest. I remember there being crickets when I searched it on tumblr.. I screamed into what felt like oblivion for a good long while until the show finally began to gain traction. Now it's an end of an era. I hope not actually. But if it is, I'm satisfied overall. And that says a lot with what little they had of episodes this final season.
I loved your guys' commentary and I laughed and cried with you throughout. Thank you so much.
I'm happy to finish this amazing series with you two.. thank you for all the great memories you made with us
Yes! Thank you for doing these reactions for The Expanse. It's been a great journey. Yeah the ring turning red and what appears to be the Lacconia platform or ship is the capper. I would have like to have seen one last X-Ray that had Ian bringing Cara to the dogs or something even weirder, but it is what it is. The fights were so intense I had to watch it standing up and closer to the TV to get a better cinema experience. So many great moments and it's sad to see the show go... But there's Raised By Wolves Season 2 coming up soon! Hopefully there's someone that would like to make some TV movies or series on the rest of the books.
Love this. Thanks both
Really enjoyed the ride with you. Cheers! Let's hope we all meat again soon....
Finally ! Been waiting for this ! Alright now, onto the books guys, and dont hesitate to review them as you go (if you feel like it !)
:)
I can't believe we're here! But what an ending! The Expanse has ruly made history. I don't think we'll see anything like this series in a very long time.
A grand finale. I was sure this episode would get you both very emotional. It was a great journey, right? And The Expanse was one of the first things, and the longest, that I watched from you reacts. So it's an amazing journey coming to an end, for both reasons.
We will be eagerly waiting for the end of this story.
I finally finished the Expanse, watching your reactions after each episode. It took me 2 tries (I watched the first 5 episodes years ago, then finally binged it alongside you guys). We need more!!!!!!!
How many times do I have to cry watching this? Really a fucking masterpiece. Im gonna miss it sm
My understanding is that Book 7 is a 30 year jump in time from Book 6, which is why this was a very "natural" stop point. That said, its obvious that they are not done with this yet, the entire Laconia story was basically a "waste of time", unless something else adds to and builds on that story (there was no conclusion or anything, just hints of what the future could bring). So at some point, i *really* hope that we'll see more Expanse, in some form :)
Thank you Kat and Sonny for the very enjoyable journey, very sad that it is over.. but its hopefully not the end :)
I know there will be more content to enjoy here on your channel. But I'm really gonna miss watching The Expanse with you two.
We came at the end of intersolar story and at precipice of interstellar story....even when the story would end,the universe are still rolling. Tenye wa cesh gut Kat & Sonny.
Schadenfreude is used in English as well.
Loved you guys since the beginning. Look forward to watching more of your content.
Avasarala looked both ways to make sure she was being seen before she put on a smile and extended her hand to Holden. She's not sure Holden's ploy will work, but she took public responsibility for endorsing it.
One of the best series finales ever...arguably the best. Glad to have taken this right with you.
For Holden to out-maneouver her, the master strategist...wow.
People in this story can live quite a long time. Look at Holden. He is radiated and would die within days if not treated. So even a time jump of 30 years might not kill any of the characters we love 🙂. And then there is Alex... . So who knows... but can't wait to see how they will continue this franchise.
They absolutely nailed it. Legendary episode
What a crazy and wonderful ride the expanse was. I cried too.
A great show that actually stuck the landing!
About age; remember the guy in the morgue on Ceres telling Miller about the live expectancy on earth
This one gets a full watch at 1.0 speed, found you watching this show, chatted with you a couple of times (sent you the churn hope you enjoyed it) and now the end. Hope you loved it. ::begins::
Much aloha guys, wonderful reaction💓 to, IMHO, one of the best series I've had the pleasure to watch👍🏾🤙🏾...all the best 🙏🏾
FWIW, Camina Drummer is a character in the book series; she just shows up much later down the road than she did here in the TV series. ;)
A series finale done right. They really knocked this one out of the park. I'll miss it, but I'm glad it ended on such a high note. A fun reaction.
What an incredible show! I already miss it so much!
As a big fan of SciFi, I can honestly say that this show is the best series or film that I’ve seen in that genre. Ever. And as someone who has lived almost a half century (48), I’ve seen a hell of a lot of SciFi in that time. I’ve even started the books, which is something I never do after watching a TV/film adaptation. That’s how much I want to learn more about the world Dan & Ty created. I really hope some network/service either continues the show, does a prequel, or creates a spin-off that is based in this universe.
I really enjoyed your reactions Kat & Sonny, and I watched them all. Thanks so much for letting others go on this ride with you. All the best from here in Arizona 🇺🇸
Been a joy sharing the journey with you! Thank you both for the reactions and I'll be sure to see you on other shows you react to!
tons of sci-fi movie easter eggs of character names on the display showing the assault teams. worth a pause.
going to miss this series.
And the gun pointed to Bobbi was a BFG 9001!!!
@@miguelgarr576 i had not seen that!
they loved working easter eggs to other sci-fi properties into the show. the millennium falcon targeting system on the Pella a couple episodes back is one of the best though.
@@mksongbird
Yeap when they were traking the Roci!
I jump from my seat!!! Hahaha
Yay! Just got to the book reading announcement! You will love it!
Thanks!
Naomi to Philip: Walking away is the only choice anyone ever has.
What really makes me hopeful that something is in the works is Shohreh did an interview the other day where she specifically said when asked if she would be willing to play Avasarala again, "Any time, if they give me a call and tell me they’d like to do another series or a movie. There are still the final three books and I think the idea is to turn it into a movie, like two and a half or three hours maybe. There are millions of people out there who would like to hear the rest of the saga." And they lined that up really well with the way Duarte rejected sending any more munitions. At first he needed the Free Navy to hold the ring space, but something changed and he didnt need that anymore, right after he was staring up at the ship with that satisfied look on his face.
Don’t know how they could compress the final three books into a movie. They span several years’ worth of events… you couldn’t compress any season of The Expanse into what is essentially a short story format.
@@FreemanicParacusia Id wager a movie per book. Yeah you lose a lot of the books in adaptation, but it makes a lot more financial sense.
With regards to them losing pods faster than they anticipated during the ring assault. Amos provided a clue when he said Naomi normally never makes mistakes with math. What happened was that since they woke the ring entities during the assault they actually lost some of the dummy containers during the ring transit meaning that there were actually fewer of those containers in the ring space so now the probability of getting hit goes up.
The fact that they sent a mass of very small objects through the rings and could observe at what point the ring entities awoke meant that Naomi could also get a good handle on how much mass and energy passed through the rings before they reached the tipping point. It is a bit like trying to use a balance scale to measure 1.5 kgs and you only have 1 kg weights available (big ships) to measure with. You know one is not enough and two is too much but beyond that, you have no idea, If you are measuring using 100 g weights you would know that you need 15 exactly to get 1.5 kg. The small mass shipping containers were like that for her in that because they had such small mass she could get a very accurate view of how many transited along with the two ships before the ring entities awoke.
This is not correct.
@@jrich749 If you are referring to how things happened in the book (I have read the books but please no spoilers for people that haven't read them), I understand what you are saying. However, this part of the story differs from the book to the TV show. Based on the presented events in the TV show, there isn't another explanation that makes sense (at least to me).
Let's pause for a moment in appreciation of a series that managed for 6 seasons to deliver a consistent quality of writing. Not once have they delved into the usual nonsensical mumbo-jumbo a lot of series do. Everything always made sense here, and even the secondary characters were always written with finesse. Just think about it, how often do you get invested in the fate of bad guys from the other side? How about once-off characters, appearing for a couple of episodes and having more depth than main characters from a lesser show?
That was the biggest problem with Battlestar Galactica
The journey has been amazing with you 2 so thank you for the reaction to this amazing series. I'll keep watching your videos but still I wish you both always the best 😍🥰
Hey, you two, I really enjoyed your reactions and appreciation to my favourite show. As reader of all the books, I can say I am very happy about the ending. It was so, so good!!! And I really like the fact you (Sonny) will read the books, too. What about you Kat? Do you plan to read them, too? One thing I would like to say: The visual medium of the show was limited. Until book 6 or 7 this is not a big problem. But as reader, you will recognize how limited it is in the two scenes about Sauvatere and Marco getting eaten/dutchman. Because you can describe things you will NEVER be able to show. Books 8 and 9 have a lot more scenes, where I really don't know, how they would show this without loosing a big part of what is described in the books. So even IF there will be three more seasons, movies or whatever - I think to read the books will be a huge win in any case. Have fun with it. And I am truly interested in something like a podcast about your thoughts to the books.
Bye - for now...
Awww I feel you when you ask it to "not be over". I have enjoyed watching your reactions to this show throughout. I'm not going to lie I even watched some of them more than once. Best wishes
GREAT video guys!!
It's REALLY good to see others who were affected in the EXACT same manner I was. My wife and son thought something was wrong with me. 🤣
This series and the steps we took to save it, was a true experience and has created a bond among fans.
The final shot of the Roci disappearing into space, with the beautifully redone theme of the show, felt like the perfect send off.
I could write an essay on how that last song was genius, but I'll spare everybody here. Just know that it was perfect.
The mods Clarrisa got as a way to kill Holden are going to kill her instead. Poetic justice.
I think technically in the classic literature, that would also be considered a Tragedy.
Either way: poetic cinema :)
I love that Marco was erased from existence and that Filip wasn't at his side at the end. I'm also happy that we got the Roci crew (minus Alex...sniff) that many of us wanted, but sad that Drummer's family was torn apart. I'm hoping the surviving members drift back together to work with her at the Transport Union.
Michio & Josep were in the front row during the President trade off, so I’m thinking maybe Drummer got some sort of happy ending with them.
Even his legacy was erased when Filip took on Naomi's surname at the end.
The show was great, and the books even better. The station, above Laconia, plays a major part in the last three books. The final chapter....had me crying pretty hard......end the epilogue made me smile.
The books are real good. While some of the characters differ a little bit, I find it very fun to hold both portrayals up side by side and see what each one highlights. There's a lot more fun insight to be found as well as some very fun humorous moments.
I really hope you enjoy them.
Also, what a finale. Excellent work, excellent acting, solid writing that most importantly stayed true to the Expanse even though the story isn't finished.
