The only reason I haven’t watched the Expanse yet, is because I know there is no ending (yet). I’m done with watching shows that just stop due to some management decision. If the confirm the ending is in the works, then I will start watching
@Ronno Watch it.
The show ends in a completely logical place and wraps up that entire timeline near perfectly. It doesn’t feel like anything’s missing.
The next three books are set 30 years later in another system. Same crew, wildly different everything else. That’s why they chose not to film them. It wasn’t just ‘ended early’
Ehhhh, they left several loose threads dangling in the wind…
There is a whole book about the planet with the fauna that brings organic tissue back to life. They just shut the door and called it a day.
Also, they barely touched the storyline of mass being lost with gate use.
@McBinary
the resurrection fauna planet is in the +30 year timeline. The books didn’t explore the mass loss much more than the show did (other than explaining how they gathered the data), but it was used as the core mechanic of the grand finale - exactly as it was in Babylon’s Ashes.
I’m just hoping they pick up the Expanse baton from SyFy and Amazon and finish the series.
I wish they get the Orville.

To be fair the books end leaving you wanting more too! The show has an ending that’s good, it’s just … Missing decades of content that’s in the books!
The show is definitely worth watching and was incredibly enjoyable, fwiw.
They also killed a main character for real life legal troubles. So that might be difficult to continue the cannon.
TBF that character isn’t used for any key moments in the last books that couldn’t be removed or swapped to another character.
