i've been waiting for this for over a year. just one more sleep.

but, i'm also dreading it being over. i'm not in a great place right now to begin with, and endings always fuck me up for a while.

fucking brain. why must you make things so difficult.

i'm not willing, even for those who ask for it. sorry. there should be some good summaries in a wiki somewhere, though.

it was a serious contender for best SF show ever. it'll lose some points, though, if it truly ends this season (which will be only about 2/3s through the story.) it's reasonably true to the books, and the changes are reasonable. highly recommend either version, and they are just different enough that both can be enjoyed as complimentary.

season six was officially announced to be the final season just before season 5 aired last year, but they've been not so subtly hinting that there is something more coming. just not what or when.

There is an obvious plot reason why the show is cancelling where they are leaving off in the overall book's story, of which the showwriters have mentioned they aren't excluding coming back to the expanse universe to finish it off or work on spin offs.

Like, I'm disappointed, but at the same time, I get it.

Started re-reading the entire series while also re-watching the series at the same time. I just finished The Churn and about to start book 4. Something tells me I'm not gonna make it by tomorrow when my copy arrives. Or finish the series by the time the new season starts. Probably should have started a bit sooner.

Nice. I've read the first six books and just haven't picked up the laat three yet. I will at some point, however.

Minor timeline spoiler question: is there really a thirty year time skip between books 6 and 7?

The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. Travel over the vast distances between planets of the solar system has been made possible with the "Epstein drive"
