  • It seems like "The Expanse" has faced oblivion almost as often as the crew of the Rocinante. The series almost ended back in Season 3 when Syfy canceled the show, but fortunately for fans it was picked up by Amazon for another three seasons. This time, though, it appears the end is finally at hand. After an action-packed sixth season, "The Expanse" is leaving our world. But did the show wrap everything up for its fans? Hardly. Although the six-episode final season did manage to tie up a few plot threads, there was no way to give closure on every aspect of a universe that's so…expansive. Here are the biggest unanswered questions from "The Expanse" season 6.

      A Belter, a Martian, and an Earther walk into a bar. Bartender asks what they'll have.
      Belter: “I’ll have a glass of your finest Martian whiskey. Drinking like my enemy lets me think like my enemy.”

      I have two questions related to possibility of future events and continuation of the series:
      1. Wondering if Clarissa Mao could be fixed by Strange Dogs? If Amos learns about her condition and events on Laconia, he wouldn't hesitate to go there for her. Not in the Books, but worth to try in the adaptation...
      2. Time interval between Book 6 and 7 could be shortened (to 5-6 years) without too much damage to the plot. Protomolecule "magic" can smoothly explain this. Is it plausible?

      I'm sorry but I TOTALLY disagree - so many new things were brought up in season 6 that were never answered - it was FAR from satisfying, in fact it was extremely frustrating. Shows constantly "setting up" other things is also extremely frustrating - while I LOVED the show we didn't get a finale at all, we got more questions, tons of open plot threads and VERY little answers. I'd LOVE to see more from The Expanse, but right now there is nothing planned - so this is what we got and it is FAR from complete. FAR from it.

    When Duarte tells Marko:
    “You’ve been a useful distraction, but I’ve got gods to kill.”
    What it meant was actually straight forward.
    It was a slap in the face. Marko believed himself to be a demigod., because “I did this!” Marco only succeeded because he had help from Duarte and his Marian faction’s logistical and with Martian military hardware and support, because they needed the distraction to setup shop on Laconia and get things running and weaken the old dynamic in the process. And besides for setting up the dream of Mars on Laconia, Duarte had a plan to rule over humanity and “save” them from the Dark Gods, the Ring entities that live in the space between spaces that wiped out the Builders before they wipe out humanity.
    And Holden understood at the end of season 5 that Duarte had taken the proto-molecule sample through the Laconian Ring. But, he didn’t know the reasons why.

    They will be picking the series up again in another 5 to 7 years, depending on everyone’s schedules. The showrunners decided to pause the series for now because in the books, there’s nearly a 30 year gap between where the tv series ended with season 6 and the last storyline of the book series. Things need time to develop and the actors need to age up some, because completely recasting them will fill more like a spin-off series.

    I point of correction. Marco didn't technically defeat the inner's. Earth and Mars had destroyed the Free Navy's two other fleets, so Marco only had the ships that he had left after the fight with Drummer's fleet. And Marco's fleet had been the weaker of the three of the Free Navy and had won the fight with Drummer only because of the presence of the Pella, and Drummer's fleet did manage to destroy some of Marc's ships before they had to withdraw. Marc's only chance was to get into the ring space and try to get the railgun's back up and working before the fleets of Earth and Mars arrived. Even then he was in a weaken position.

    Proto molecule creators built the ring gate. They build roads by sending samples throughout the galaxies, where the sample interact with any living material and object in a solar system to build a gate or ring i.e gate network like stargate the tv show. The protomolecule sent to earth system was a billion years old, but for some reason it got stuck in sarturn orbit, until humans evolve and developed solar capable rockets to reach saturn.
    My theory/opinion is the proto molecule creators sent the sample to a galaxy that had more advanced aliens, unknowingly, who probably got pissed and wiped them out the proto molecule builders. You here when Holden said the proto molecule builders try to survive by destroying solar systems just to stop the alien entity, like cauterizing a wound, but they failed.

      In the books the characters are 30 years older, but they're also taking anti-aging drugs. They refer to them having salt-and-pepper hair and, like, Naomi noticing she has a bit more loose skin/wrinkles around her neck, but they're not at all incapacitated by age or anything. They're not "old", they're effectively probably in their 50s with the effects of the anti-aging drugs factored in.

    Here's a theory you might give some thought. If the Expanse season 7 ever becomes fruitful, imagine that 'Peaches' is dying and sometime by the end of season 7 the Rocinante escape to the planet Laconia and have the 'dogs' fix Peaches into a hybrid human/machine proto-molecule being. She was dying anyway, so, taking the risk of being changed into something else would have been a consideration. Does being changed make you immortal? In which case, is that plot mechanism the method the story uses to finish off the rest of the Expanse books by keeping some of the characters alive more than a hundred years?

    • @ikp4success
      @ikp4success 2 роки тому

      Proto molecule creators built the ring gate. They build roads by sending samples throughout the galaxies, where the sample interact with any living material and object in a solar system to build a gate or ring i.e gate network like stargate the tv show. The protomolecule sent to earth system was a billion years old, but for some reason it got stuck in sarturn orbit, until humans evolve and developed solar capable rockets to reach saturn.
      My theory/opinion is the proto molecule creators sent the sample to a galaxy that had more advanced aliens, unknowingly, who probably got pissed and wiped them out the proto molecule builders. You here when Holden said the proto molecule builders try to survive by destroying solar systems just to stop the alien entity, like cauterizing a wound, but they failed.

    The fact that every important character lives is kind of dissapointing, mostly because makes all the conflicts worthless. Also the whole thing started with a lot of suspense and intrigue, a protomolecule, than the blue aliens, politics. All that was thrown away for a fight against 1 evil man. idk this last season kind of sucked.

    it is a bit weird to speculate here on some of these things, while the books already provide most of the answers. just read the f*ing books!

      They do it because its addressing the questions show only watchers have. They even reference the books.

    what a waste of a show, the last three seasons could have been summed up in a movie... Bad guy dies, trouble on the frontier, belter reconciliation... they could have given each of those 30 minutes and it would have been done... The first three seasons were pure gold, this is pointless...

    When Duarte tells Marko:
    “You’ve been a useful distraction, but I’ve got gods to kill.”
    What it meant was actually straight forward.
    It was a slap in the face. Marko believed himself to be a demigod., because “I did this!” Marco only succeeded because he had help from Duarte and his Marian faction’s logistical and with Martian military hardware and support, because they needed the distraction to setup shop on Laconia and get things running and weaken the old dynamic in the process. And besides for setting up the dream of Mars on Laconia, Duarte had a plan to rule over humanity and “save” them from the Dark Gods, the Ring entities that live in the space between spaces that wiped out the Builders before they wipe out humanity.
    And Holden understood at the end of season 5 that Duarte had taken the proto-molecule sample through the Laconian Ring. But, he didn’t know the reasons why.
