UNCUT - The Expanse Season 5 Episode 10 SEASON FINALE

I can see why you glaze Voyager so much (season 1 of all thing) while hating Expanse. S1 has 2 good episodes (ignoring the pilot). You actually have to pay attention in Expanse. You both often complain about writers spoon-feeding the audience too much. The Expanse doesn't do it at all and you complain its too confusing. Voyager is like McDonald's and a lot of people like McDonald's.

i think half the reason you dislike it, is because you totaly forget stuff and miss stuff ... like clarissa tried to kill holden for a whole season ... she flew back with them on their ship for months to earth

i am on the other side here i really like season 5. but then i also read all the books. btw alex was alive in the original filming of the end of the season, he was cut out of the final scenes (emty chair is a giveaway he was sitting there) as well as they reshot teh scenes where they came back to the rossi. alex had to die, the actor had an independent investigation revealed over 30 credible allegations of sexual misconduct. they did not just fire him when the alligations came up, they invested the time in an investigation of a neutral 3rd site but it was to much.

Josh is spot on at the end. The reactions to the first 3 seasons may not have been "this is the best thing ever", but there was positive engagement. We all looked forward to "I am that guy", and you did love that scene. It was such a great full circle from you guys hating Amos at first. I haven't seen this show since it aired, but I think many of us suspected S4 might be a let down. I thought at least Murtry would be a decent enough antagonist to keep you somewhat engaged. After that the S5 vote was a hope that S5 would be a return to form but it just didn't happen. But it's not like you hated the show from the start. If you had, it wouldn't have been voted for this many times.

Not that you care, but the pejorative term "skinnies" comes from the fact that the Belters were raised in low gravity and have lower muscle mass and thinner bones as a result, which is why they have trouble dealing with planetary gravity. This is clear in the books, but it's something they didn't do a very good job of showing on the TV show, except for that one Belter who gets tortured in the first episode. Naomi is supposed to be much taller and thinner, as are all the Belters. But it seems like they gave up on that idea very early.

I liked the later seasons better than you guys, but I do agree that the SyFy seasons (1-3) were better. I read the books that the later seasons were based on, and they were riveting—much better than what we got on the show. Somehow they weren't able (or forgot how) to translate that to the screen when Amazon took over, even with the same cast.

Nah I was with you on Season 5, it was shit. This was painful to watch with you boys, but may have been necessary to get it over with. This season I watched it once and this is now only my 2nd watch through. Compared to the first 3 seasons which I've watch many times over. I will try to provide some hope in that I do think Season 6 is better than the last two, though that might be due to the short season or counting down till the end... Maybe it's just my OCD, but it would be nice (as hard as it is) to scratch a series off the list.

The Expanse is one of those shows you need to sit and focus on while watching. For me, that's hard. It took a few times rewatching to really like the show overall.

Alex did not die in the books. The actor got in trouble and got fired.

I stopped watching last season. I really don‘t see the point why the Bridge Crew make them react to a show they hate. And I hate them hating. In these cases I always ask myself why I pay fo this.

The reason they killed off Alex was unfortunately because of a huge amount of allegations against the actor for sexual misconduct from his fans. I don’t think the character dies in the books, but they had to write it in (and CGI / edit/ do a few scenes) post filming.

Fun fact...Alex got #metoo'd off the show. IRL stuff Regarding your hatred for the show...I have to laugh at how much you guys miss while you are shitting on it. Wish you liked it as much as I, but to each his own. P.S. - basically everyone hates season 4
