So the Expanse wrapped up the season a bit more soberly than I expected. I actually really liked Naomi's drawn out struggle against the sabotaged ship and the others trying to get to her over muliple episodes. Made the distances feel much more substantial as they should. Pretty much the antithesis of late GoT seasons simply teleporting characters around to speed things along.
Once S6 finishes next year I will have to read the books, been enjoying the series too much to want any spoilers.
Definitely my favourite series in a long time.
I enjoyed it, but not as much as the previous seasons. I don't find Naomi to be anywhere near interesting enough to carry that much of the story. That part felt a little drawn out. Not having them together was always going to be a challenge given their dynamic was part of what made the show what it was.
It's no spoiler to say that we all knew they had to write out Alex in some way - and I guess it's as good as we could have hoped for given it was a last minute change. Still, I did like his character, flaws and all, so it's a shame he was (allegedly) a bit of a creep in real life.
Finished this last night and its hard to make my mind up as to how I feel about it. At times I really enjoyed the different storylines, but I also missed their chemistry together. At times I found Naomi a really PITA, but others I really enjoyed what she was doing. I agree though, I do really like how there's that feeling of distance and time which GoT established and then decided to just throw out the window near the end.
I'm not a massive fan of sci-fi but I've loved this show and think the visuals are fantastic so can't wait for the final season.
I noticed all of Battestar Galactica was on iTunes for £20 so have picked that up, another show which gets raves reviews which I've never seen.
