Lol, I think I'm on my 9th run of that show. One run, I was kit/trash bashing while listening to the audio books, and when I would take breaks and/or eat, I'd watch the show. I actually like the show better save for one major detail that I won't mention because of spoilers. What a GREAT universe The Expanse is. I REALLY wish they'd finish the last 3 books as sodes, only 6 seasons, but 9 books.
It's a crime they cut this series short. It really is. This show is the definition of sci-fi dome right. And we'll never see the end of the arc they started in the last season =(
@@ecksearoh6283 it was. They introduced a whole new storyline with a new villain in the last season and just went "oh well that's it I guess". It's to date one of the most frustrating endings to a series I've seen. And they wrote it like that knowing they couldn't follow it up.
@@SyntheticFuture they wrote it like that not to leave even more loose ends, and knowing that it wasn't utterly impossible that at some point they will follow up
They went into S6 with the full knowledge it was the last season they were making for a while. The Laconia storyline was meant to be a dangling thread left over for if they get to make a movie trilogy or something further down the line.
If you watch Ty and That Guy, they've had Naren on several times, and you can tell that the chance of the Expanse coming back in not zero. I think they are waiting for a bunch of factors to line back up.
I was lucky enough to pick up Marco's vac-suit in the last auction, and while it certainly ended up costing me an arm and a leg, it looks absolutely fantantastic in-person. It's become such a conversation starter whenever anyone comes to my house now. And it certainly makes me smile now whenever I rewatch the show and see the suit on screen lol. Really can't say enough about how amazing of a job the props department did on this show. The level of detail on the suit and every other prop is simply amazing.
@Prizrak-hv6qk Nah, I didn't unfortunately. They made the gun a separate listing. I did bid on it, but it ended up going way higher than my bid. Also the listing for Marco's gun ended before the Marco suit bidding did, so I didn't know I was going to get the suit by the time the bidding for the gun ended. I may have been more aggressive to try and win the gun, if I knew (although my wallet is happy that I didn't lol). Eventually, I do want to 3D print the gun to put in the holster.
I just finished watching The Expanse for the first time yesterday and immediately binged all the videos on it on this channel!! Such good timing with this video (also The Expanse was amazing and I am already watching it a second time)
Glad the show is not forgotten. I still have a thermo cup with MCRN logo laser cut, and an MCRN sticker on my car's rear window. No hope that anyone besides my friends recognize the reference, but very proud to have it.
It was the natural ending from the books. There's a significant time jump that would require almost an entire new cast and aging of existing actors if they make a cameo. It was fine.
@@Cosmodjinn Yes, but they wanted to spend twice as many episodes telling that part of the story and Amazon wouldn't pay for it. (A show ending doesn't sell Prime subs, after all.) Ty talked about it on the pod a couple years ago.
Truth be told, I would have watched it anyway, but I fully expected this was going to be a re-up from four years ago. Add: My desire to do a custom suit build has increased substantially. There's so much reused pieces from common gear and customized that it'd be Super fun to do your own while still lore/universe accurate.
Of course it is Marco's suit that starts to act up and also tries to steal the spotlight when they're showing Draper's suit (by blinking the helmet light). It's always like that with Marco Inaros, isn't it. ;)
I re-watch sci-fi shows all the time but the Expanse was only the second one where I instantly started over as soon as I finished the last episode. There's just so much lore, nuance and detail that you miss at first, in addition to all the usual stuff that you can savor. The first such show for me was Babylon 5 back in the 90s. These two are my favorite shows. This video is painful to watch. The costumes are amazing but they REALLY should be still used for filming more Expanse! :( Heh... I just noticed that I'm typing this while wearing a Razorback t-shirt. :)
Let,s not forget Stargate SG1 TV series in the late 90,s which tons of people including myself we,re into which ran for almost 15seasons and the only other TV that ran for that long was Supernatural
Absolutely awesome suits! But for some reason, selling the props makes the ending more final, they can't go back and greenlight the last two seasons. Bittersweet.
I'm curious, where do I, as a massive fan of the books (read them all seven times now) who hates every single change made to the show, and generally doesn't enjoy the show at all, fit into that dichotomy?
@@peterfranklin6021 I'll put you on the list of people who nees to do a better job undestanding how difficult it is to adapt a book to the screen and why decisions to change things are made. And you can begin your journey by listening to the Ty and That Guy podcast where many of these creative decisions are explained.
Hi Adam! I recently got into Kit/trash bashing after buying some AMAZING bluetooth speakers from a Co GRAVASTAR. Since then, the inspiration sparked a fire within me that shortly turned into a full on BLAZE! That is how I found my way to your youtube channel. I had NO IDEA all these years, being a huge fan of Myth Busters when the show was airing, that you were involved in making the Star Wars universe so realistic and believable. (I saw the original sode 4 in Mystic Seaport when I was 7) I've been a Sci-fi Junkie all my life and a musician/composer most of my life. As a Luthier, my first inspiration from the Gravastar speakers was to create a guitar that had similar aesthetics paired with functionality, forcing me to learn all about LED lighting/wiring, among other things. Now I'm delving into kit/trash bashing droids, I'm SUPER detail oriented and I was wondering if you have any suggestions for micro servos, where to get them, how to use them, and if you might consider doing a sode of TESTED regards this. I LOVE robots and LOVE creating my own. It might just be the MOST relaxing and therapeutic past time I've ever engaged in. I'm only on my third build, (one racer craft, 2 droids), and bringing them to life with light is one thing. Having them move remotely would be a whole different level of wonder and amazement. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, MetroidMania P.S. I have a deep, new found respect for you and what you do after finding you here on TESTED. THANK YOU!
Watched the Expense 3 times and am now reading the final pages of the last book. Not much of reader, but I ripped through these books. I really hope the old cast will return for those final chapters (-Alex😢).
Went from happy to sad a few times watching this. I read a while ago Apple may be continuing with the series. Would we rather see a continuation of the series or origin series that focus specifically on the characters?
Speaking to the show being off air I'm wondering if they might hit us with another 3 seasons 10-20 years from now since book 7 has a 30 year time jump. That way you could bring in the cast as age-appropriate.
Never watched that show. Might check it out. but I can guarantee that a lot of those suits was bought on Amazon. I've seen the exact tactical vest on the orange one and the gloves from all of them. Must have had a pretty low budget for those costumes.
Interesting video, Adam. But I'm biting at the bit for your video on the Star Trek Tricorder by the Wand Company that I understand you're about to release soon(?)
Anyone happen to know what Drapper's MCRN Power Armor sold for? I imagine _a metric truck ton!_ But I'm curious just HOW unobtainable it would've been for me... lmao
DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SPOILERS?? 😅 Now that I FINALLY have real internet out here in rural TN, I'm able to watch streaming content and *_finally_* catch up on _The Expanse,_ after Amazon picked it up. I've seen everything *up to* when SyFy canceled it _(end of S3 I think?),_ and I'm only on S2E6 right now on my rewatch. Thanks 😊
Sci Fi shows and movies always put lights inside spacesuit helmets. But in reality that would stop you from being able to see through the glass clearly in dark environments like eh, Space.
Never seen the expanse, has it finished? I prefer watching them after they finish so I don't have to suffer the kind of creeping death that 'Lost' had! On a side note, she looks remarkably like Kirsten Dunst, or is it just me?
It's finished. Tho for one of the character the story goes pretty off the canon of the books, partly due to sexual misconduct allegations and related internal 3rd party investigations and the subsequence sacking.
I beg you - for the love of all things cosplay - please film these amazing access videos higher than 1080p. You're a fellow cosplayer: You've had the same problem seeing details of things you've tried to re-create just from frame grabs. Your iPhone can do 4k these days. Please!
Hey @tested - I love everything about your channel and content - and the Expanse - but I can't watch this handheld stuff. All the unstabilized motion is just too much. I guess I wouldn't make a good Belter.
it's easy to say silly things when people point a camera at you, so she is a little off, however I think you might need to type UN peacekeeper into google
Stop saying "very unique". There are not graduations of uniqueness, either something is unique or it's similar to something else. In fact just stop saying "unique" clearly you don't understand the word.

Fine, I'll watch Expanse again.
Haha yep
Even better, let it lead into reading the last trilogy of books

By far, The Expanse is the best space series ever produced. And yes, better than all the various big screen franchises.
I watched the whole series in just a few weeks this winter. I loved it, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen
One of the best sci-fi shows/book series ever! I'm excited to get his opinions on the suits!👍
Adam and space suits, name a more iconic duo
I just finished watching The Expanse for the first time yesterday and immediately binged all the videos on it on this channel!! Such good timing with this video (also The Expanse was amazing and I am already watching it a second time)

Love The Expanse and loved all Adam's videos about behind the scenes etc. Rewatch!
The description of the mars exo-suit was so much more intimidating in the books than it was in the show, but Frankie Adams still killed it
The best show ever.... From your lips.. I LOVE this serie to death. Looking forward to see it...
How is it that everytime I restart The Expanse rewatch Adam puts out Expanse content on the channell. Very odd and appreciated coincidence.
Show that never should have gone off air. Please bring it back!
Always a pleasure watching your videos Adam! Cheers! 🍻
I was just reading the Expanse artbook yesterday, now this video made me want to watch the series yet again, thanks for sharing!
Literally just finished rewatching the expanse
Time to do it again lmao
I so wish that Propstore had nice, glossy printed auction catalogs for sale - I'd buy one for this auction in a heartbeat !
Wow. Never thought we'd be lucky enough to get another Expanse vid!
Still can't forgive Amazon for cheaping out on the ending.

Me: on my 7th watch through of the Expanse. THANK YOUUUU
I'm so disappointed that they didn't make more episodes. Live shamed, and die empty!
I read "Adam Savage" and "The Expanse" and clicked instantly!
Same. Didn't realize until I clicked that this wasn't from years ago.
Truth be told, I would have watched it anyway, but I fully expected this was going to be a re-up from four years ago.
Add: My desire to do a custom suit build has increased substantially. There's so much reused pieces from common gear and customized that it'd be Super fun to do your own while still lore/universe accurate.
Lot of amazing suits but man is Bobby Draper's power armor is amazing.
I loved the Expanse! Best SF in a while.
It,s up their among with
Qauntum Leap
Sliders
Stargate SG1
Supernatural
Grimm
And Superman & Lois
Of course it is Marco's suit that starts to act up and also tries to steal the spotlight when they're showing Draper's suit (by blinking the helmet light). It's always like that with Marco Inaros, isn't it. ;)
Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in The Expanse
Well now I gotta go watch The Expanse again
Prop Store vids are some of my favorites.
Been waiting for this one!
I need more expanse episodes!!!
sweet! I miss The Expanse
bring back the expanse!
I re-watch sci-fi shows all the time but the Expanse was only the second one where I instantly started over as soon as I finished the last episode. There's just so much lore, nuance and detail that you miss at first, in addition to all the usual stuff that you can savor. The first such show for me was Babylon 5 back in the 90s.

Absolutely awesome suits! But for some reason, selling the props makes the ending more final, they can't go back and greenlight the last two seasons. Bittersweet.
And The Expanse lives on😊❤
This kind of makes me sad because them selling the props means they wont be doing any further books in the foreseeable future.
There's a sizeable time jump to the last three books, so the props from the last series wouldn't really be in any next series.
Ah adam you have a great taste, as always!
the new seasons will be amazing in a few years
There are two types of people: people who love everything The Expanse, and people who I don't want to be friends with.
I'm curious, where do I, as a massive fan of the books (read them all seven times now) who hates every single change made to the show, and generally doesn't enjoy the show at all, fit into that dichotomy?

I don't think I've ever felt a fictional culture as well fleshed-out as Belters in The Expanse. Abraham and Franck did an incredible job.
If Larry Niven were a gunslinger, there'd be two dead copycats.

On great tv with fantastic props, Adam you should cosplay fallout power armor!
Great!🌌🌌🌌 Thank you!👍👍👍
how did they get the helmets to be empty but on top of the suit? they dont look totally ridged
Never watched that show. Might check it out. but I can guarantee that a lot of those suits was bought on Amazon. I've seen the exact tactical vest on the orange one and the gloves from all of them. Must have had a pretty low budget for those costumes.
Been trying to talk my roommate into watching it. I still haven't seen past Season 4, keep waiting on yet another free Amazon Prime trial. XD
Great video sir
The ring gate is literally made of Adam Savage molecules.
Stunning Video! But in wich Episode of the Expanse is Adam shown in?
He's in the season 2 finale, on the bridge of the Arboghast orbiting Venus
Different franchise, but Adam should make Master Chief’s power armor!
That is so cool!
MOAR EXPANCE
Interesting video, Adam. But I'm biting at the bit for your video on the Star Trek Tricorder by the Wand Company that I understand you're about to release soon(?)
damn loved the show, intro music season 1...💔😅
BUT Adam bought Bobbie's suit, right?? I want to see that video!
i love that the handgun looks exactly like nerf rival guns that shoots foam golf balls repainted.

Slightly, but it's very surface and about the BTS of the suit. Nearly nothing on the show storyline...
@@PrograError Thank you! 🍻
I never got into the expanse it felt like they tried to go for a economy blade runner and missed the marc I gave it up in the first 2 or 3 episodes
Amazing
It's kinda sad seeing it all there, up for auction - just yet more confirmation there's zero intention of bringing it back :-(
Sci Fi shows and movies always put lights inside spacesuit helmets. But in reality that would stop you from being able to see through the glass clearly in dark environments like eh, Space.
UN's "Reaver Suit" reminds me of ODST.
More like Bungie era's marines. 343's too kelvar...
Wish I was able to afford bidding on those :(
Man, I'd love to own one of those suits, or even just a railgun carbine.
MCR for life

It's finished.
Tho for one of the character the story goes pretty off the canon of the books, partly due to sexual misconduct allegations and related internal 3rd party investigations and the subsequence sacking.
Now they'll just have to build all this stuff again when The Expanse comes back...
I remember the first time seeing that power armor and the next day I joined the martian military

Is that.... the girl from Jumanji(1995)?
I,m not sure
A lot of the suits were apparently inspired by Mass Effect. I could be wrong.
What happened to Grogu video?
Not to be that guy but it's Cara Gee with a soft G, as in Jee
I really wanted to like The Expanse but I kept falling asleep every time I tried to watch it. lol
You know you know you know you know...
loved your video but your Ads are blocking your view...

There are very few people that instantly make me hate them by their voice but she is definitely one of them.

well, it's more of the idealised of a more active UN anyway... one that would have taken action on the various conflict directly...
First?
Stop saying "very unique". There are not graduations of uniqueness, either something is unique or it's similar to something else. In fact just stop saying "unique" clearly you don't understand the word.
You poor thing.
These are rare almost one of akind items which are gnna sell for expensive money hence why their unique prop items
